Folder Description: This folder contains part of a scrapbook assembled by Julia Alcott Lapham, Increase Allen Lapham's daughter, on the life of her father. The periodical and newspaper articles discuss a variety of topics, all centering on the life and accomplishments of Lapham, and a few of the articles are the work of Lapham himself. A rather large article from Scribner's Monthly and written by Thompson B. Maury discusses the Signal Service, storm forecasting and Lapham's fundamental role in storm predictions. Two other pieces stand out, a small genealogical chart of the Alcott family, and a letter of condolence to the Lapham family from the Milwaukee Protestant Orphans' Asylum on the death of Lapham's wife, Ann Marie Alcott Lapham.
