tinshurg and for years one of the
strong men of Baltimore Conference.
Methodist Episcopal church, quietly
passed away at that place shortly
after o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Death was not unexpected as Rev.
Mr.. Lamar had been desperately i'll
for the most part of the time and
attending physicians expressed won
der at the wonderful vitality that
kept him alive so long.
Mr.. Lamar was a son of the late
Richard r. and Mary Caskey Lamar.
Of Martinsburg, and was born here
on September ., 1864. being within
three days of 81 years of age. He
received his preliminary education
in the local schools and took a four
years classical course at Diclzin-
son College, Carlisle, graduating
with high honors. After leaving col.
lege he studied law under the late
j. Nelson Wpner, but practicing
this profession for short term he
found 1t uncongenial, although emf
nently qualified to become a lawyer
OF note. and decided to enter the
ministry.
He applied for admission into
Baltimore Conference and following
the prescribed course of study, he
was admitted into full membership
10 ct i
several minor country charges and
then his brilliancy began to impress
the laity with the result that he
soon became pastor Of number
OF the NEST important churches of
the conference. His first assign
ment was Great Falls charge, Bal
timore county. Others were. est
Hartford Circuit, Hartford county;
West Falls, Carroll county; Airing

camp and at hospitals. His first as
signment was at Stamford, England,
then at London, Liverpool, at Savoy,
France, Walter Reed Hospital,
Washington, as an editorial writer,
and finally Camp Eustis, Va, where
he was discharged because of his
failing health.
Rev. Lamar returned to Frederick
and filled charges west Of that city,
but the condition of his health was
such that he was forced to give up
active work. For several months he
has been a patient at the Frederick
City hospital.
Mr. Lamar was a man Of charm
ing personality and had the happy
faculty Of attracting men and hold
ing fast their friendship. AS o
preacher he was a dominating fig.
ure in Methodism Of this section and
remained for years in the pastorlte
to which he was assigned. He is
survived by his widow, formerly
