William Berry Lapham
Edit Profilegenealogist journalist physician
Education
He entered Waterville (now Colby) College in 1851, but remained there only a year, leaving to study medicine. He received the degree of M. D. from the New York Medical College in 1856 and the honorary degree of A. M. from Colby College in 1871.
Career
Upon the graduation, Lapham began to practice in Bryant's Pond, Maine. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was appointed assistant surgeon, and later first lieutenant, in the 23rd Maine Volunteers. From 1863 to the close of the war he served with the 1st Maine Mounted Artillery, which he had helped to recruit, and in 1865 he received the brevet rank of major, although his rank in actual service had been that of senior first lieutenant of the 7th Battery.
In 1867 he was a representative in the Maine Legislature. He was examining surgeon for the pension board for a number of years, and trustee of the state insane hospital from 1867 to 1874. His literary interests led to his becoming, in 1872, editor of the Maine Farmer, which he continued to conduct till 1881. His chief distinction, however, was gained as an antiquarian.
From 1875 to 1878 he edited the Maine Genealogist. He also wrote and published himself My Recollections of the War of the Rebellion (1892). He was a member of the Maine Historical Society and of the New-England Historic Genealogical Society, serving as chairman of the publication committee of the former, and contributing many papers to the proceedings of the latter. He was also a corresponding member of the Royal Historical Society of Great Britain. He died at the National Soldiers Home in Togus, Maine.
Achievements
-
Lapham was recognized as an authority on genealogy and early New England history, and his researches in both these fields are respected by specialists. He wrote histories of the towns of Woodstock, Paris, Rumford, Bethel, and Norway, in Maine; and he compiled genealogies of the Lapham, Ricker, Chase, Chapman, Webster, Hill, and Knox families.
