Biographical Information: LAPHAM - MALLORY Family Submitted by: Mallory Smith, smith4008 at comcast dot net Date posted: 5 Feb 2007 I note someone has posted a number of obits on the Doble family including Bertha Lapham Doble wife of Milo. I ran across a posting of someone looking for a Lapham decendant as they had a diary written by Fanny Crosley Lapham, Bertha's grandmother. Here's the posting: "I have a copy of a diary by Mrs. Fannie Crosley Lapham. I would like to get this to an appropriate Lapham descendant. Amoung others it lists: Nelson Turoe Lapham, an Irishman, moved to Island, Maine, and there married Fannie Deaeth Srossley, They moved to Kansas in 1856. It also lists Fannie's grandson Lorraine (aka Laurien, or Lon) and Katherine Lapham and their children Clarence, Lawrence, Noel, Bertha and other relatives Mildred, Milo Doble, Bob, Buddy, Grace, Donald, ThelmaMary, Richard, Donna, Alta, Iris. If this could be your family please contact me for more information.

Lon's brother married Mattie G Mallory (Almus Lapham). I am looking for Mattie's parents...I believe Joseph Mallory (also buried in Whittle cem) was probably her father.
