Obituary for the only surviving child:
Margaret Jane Lajambe: The Standard Freeholder (Cornwall, ONT), Wednesday, 20 May 1936: Not in the enjoyment of good health throughout the winter and compelled to remain in bed at home for three weeks, Miss Margaret Lashamb died at Hotel Dieu Hospital shortly before seven o'clock Friday night. She had been a patient in the hospital for two weeks, undergoing an operation three days before her death and failing to rally therefrom. While at home she was cared for by Mrs. Gordon Russell who with Mr. Russell, made their home with her. Miss Lashamb was born in Cornwall 59 years ago, the only child of Joseph Lashamb and his wife Julianne Snider. She spent her entire life here. She was an expert dressmaker and enjoyed a large patronage. She was a member of the Children of Mary of St. Columban's. The funeral was held from her home, 531 Amelia street, on Monday morning, to St. Columban's Church and cemetery. The Requiem High Mass was sung by Rev. J. M. Foley, who also officiated at the graveside. Pall bearers were J. E. Tallon, S. G. Snider, Allan Heath, Leo McPhaul, James Russell and J. Laplante. A number of mass cards, spiritual offerings and floral tributes were placed upon the casket.
