Death of Dr. Lamme. An Old-Time Bozeman Citizen Passes Away
Dr. Lamme, one of the leading citizens of the city, died Dec. 22, 1888. He had been declining for about two years and while his death was not unexpected it was sincerely regretted by a large circle of appreciative friends.
The doctor was born in Warren county, Missouri, July 22, 1822, was educated at Rush Medical College, St. Louis, and after practicing his profession for some time went across the isthmus to California in the stampede of 1849. Remaining in California for one or two years he returned to St. Joseph, Mo., where he engaged in the practice of his profession, and was married. He left there in 1865, coming up the Missouri river to Montana, and settled near Grange Hall, East Gallatin, on what is now known as the Hays' place. A stock of goods were started up the river at the same time, but were lost. In 1866 goods were brought goods were brought overland and in company with L.M. Howell he opened a store at East Gallatin. In the fall of 1868 he came to Bozeman and in company with John L. Harlowe and J.S. Mendenhall formed the firm of A. Lamme & Co., a firm which since has maintained the lead in its line in this city. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn
his departure. --Avant Courier

“A PIONEER GONE.
Dr. A. Lamme, Bozeman's Old and Most Popular Citizen Passes Away.
Dr. A[chilles] Lamme, passed peacefully away, surrounded by his wife and three of his children, on Saturday morning [December 22] at half past nine o'clock. The doctor has been feeble for several years and during the last two has been confined to the house, except on rare occasions, when he ventured to the front yard. And while his death was not unexpected, it was received by our citizens with expressions of unusual sadness and sorrow. The doctor for many years has been the most prominent citizens of this portion of the country. For many years he has been at the head of the largest mercantile business in this valley and was known to every man, woman and child in it. He leaves a wife [nee Elizabeth Jane Oliver], one son, Ed[win] Lamme, of Raleigh, Lamme & Co, and four daughters, Mrs. Wm. McAdow [nee Florence Virginia Lamme], and Mrs. F[rancis] K[incannon] Armstrong [nee Lora Lamme], of Bozeman, and two younger daughters [Frances and Georgia Lamme] attending school at Philadelphia.
The doctor was born in Virginia and in his younger days practiced medicine. He resided for several years at St. Joseph, Mo., and following steam boating. He came to Montana in 1865. Since that time he followed agricultural, steam boating and mercantile pursuits.
The doctor was one of those rare old, Southern gentlemen, not often met with in these days. He was the soul of geniality, charitable and kind, as hundreds in this valley will attest. He was everybody's friend and there are few men who was [sic] more respected and popular, than the genial doctor. The Chronicle, together with hundreds of citizens, offer its heartfelt sympathies to the sorrying wife and near relatives.
THE FUNERAL
As soon as it was learned that our estimable fellow citizen had gone to his long homE, the mayor issued his proclamation calling upon the militia, fire men and city and county officers to attend the funeral, which took place Monday at 2 p. m.; also requesting the merchants to close their business houses during the hours of the funeral. These organizations promptly acquiesced to the mayor's request, and the stores were all closed. The funeral took place from the late residence of the deceased, Rev. Mr. Lewis, pronouncing the last words over the remains. The Bozeman band, playing a dirge, was in line at the head of the long procession, while Troop B. Montana National Guard, marched each side of the hearse, followed by the fire department and a long line of citizens on foot and in carriages. Word upon words might be written to tell the story of the respect to which the deceased was entitled; but no stronger eulogy of his popularity and merit could find expression that exhibit by the vast concourse, which slowly followed the dead man to his grave.”
