Death Claims Former Editor
Herbert Hathaway Lampman, long-time newspaper man and former Portland police officer, father of Ben Hur Lampman, associate editor of The Oregonian, died Friday afternoon at 133 S. E. 84th avenue, after a long illness. Mr. Lampman was born in Waupun, Wis., April 16, 1860, the son of Wisconsin pioneers from Vermont. His newspaper career began while he was still in his youth, in 1883. In the ensuing 35 years he founded, managed and edited newspapers in Wisconsin, North Dakota and Minnesota. Punctuating these journalistic activities were several years of exploration and colonization in the Peace River country in the Canadian northwest in the early 1900s, and an interlude of ranching in Jackson county, Oregon, from 1909 to 1915.
In 1925 Mr. Lampman came to Portland, where he was a police inspector with the nuisance division for nearly 15 years, retiring in January, 1940, because of ill health.
He leaves the widow, Mrs. Viola Emmons Lampman of Central Point; tow sons who followed him in the newspaper profession, Ben Hur of Portland and Rex Herbert, now in Georgia, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
McGinnis & Wilhelm mortuary, 6637 S. E. Milwaukie avenue, is in charge of arrangements. Commitment will be private in Portland crematorium Saturday afternoon.
