SENECA WEEKLY, (Seneca, Kansas)- Friday, June 11, 1875- Page 3.
A letter from Mr. Lappin states that "John is getting along very well. He was badly hurt. He fell head foremost a distance of about fourteen feet from the roof of the house on a stone walk, striking on the top of his head. His skull was fractured. He is up ad around now, but feels very sore, yet I think he will recover without any permanent injury.

SENECA WEEKLY COURIER (Seneca, Kansas)- Friday, November 26, 1875.
Johnny Lappin, youngest son of state Treasurer Lappin, died in St. Louis on Tuesday afternoon last, of a urinary disease of a very short duration. Johnny was going to school in St. Louis, and liked the place. Mr. Lappin on his way to Illinois stopped to see him and Johnny being sick he remained over- fortunately to be with him in his death. Mr. and Mrs. Lappin have many sympathizing friends in Seneca, who will join them in sorrow at the loss of Johnny. He was Mr. Lappin's favorite child.

C. G. Scrafford went to Topeka last week, and attended the funeral of his little nephew, Johnny Lappin. The service was held at the Episcopal Church. Mr. Lappin had the remains temporarily deposited in the Topeka Cemetery, but will remove them to Seneca in the spring.
NOTE: It is thought at this time that his remains were not moved to Seneca, further research needed to prove.
(Thanks goes to Researcher Barbara Schwartz for finding this information for this little boy.)
