INCREASE A. LAPHAM, LL. D. 267 



Shore," that lovely day, September 14, 1875, -was the last of earth to Dr. I. A. Lap- 

 ham. 



The State has lost the pervice of one who knew more of her Geology, Topography 

 and Botany than any man living, and one who contributed largeJy to her early pros- 

 perity. Milwaukee has lost one of her oldest and bept citizens, an upright and hon- 

 est man. His children have lost a loving father and his accquaintances a devoted 

 friend.
