The only information I have thus far is that he is my grandfathers (Bryon Lamont) father. He built around 80 homes in the Hudson - New Port Richey area and was a scoundrel.

He was born in Wisconsin and would take the train down to Florida. He was married to a woman named Bertie and the poor woman cleaned house for a weathly man and raised two sons. Byron and Thair Lamont. Thair Lamont died in Barefoot Bay, Florida and my grandfather is buried in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I reside in Winter Park, Florida When the man died Bertie inherited some money and put it into savings for college for the two sons and Hugh Thurston found out about it and came back to Wisconsin and cleaned her out of her money for the boys college fund and then returned to Florida. My grandfather would get an occasional box of oranges at Christmas from time to time and that was all the coorespondance the man had with his sons.

He got married again at the ripe old age of 81 and then died when he was around 91. Evidently the widow snagged any money he had and buried him in a paupers grave with only a marker which was still there 20 years ago when I took Bryon with my Dad ( Robert Lamont ) to see it.

Bryon got a letter from this woman attesting to the fact that there was no money but I find that hard to believe. I am doing a family tree and would appreciate any more information. I can be reached at Diane Lamont - P.O. Box 3535, Winter Park, Florida 32790. Plans are being made to upgrade the marker.
