Kay was an extremely giving person, both with her time and possessions. She dedicated her life to helping her children and grandchildren (who referred to her lovingly as "Granny-Kay"), as well as others. She spent the last years of her life taking care of elderly people, and regarded these people as if they were family. Kay had a beautiful singing voice, and sang in a church choir for many years. She enjoyed traveling to music concerts and festivals with her husband, James, and was planning on attending such a concert just before her sudden death. Kay was a lively person. She had a great sense of humor and possessed an upbeat and happy personality. She loved to laugh and spend time with her children, grandchildren, and friends, all of which lived in close proximity to her and visited her on a daily basis. There is no doubt that those who knew and loved Kay will share in many humorous stories involving her in the years to come. Kay was a Christian woman who attended church on a regular basis. She participated in weekly bible study, and derived a great deal of meaning from these sessions. She also valued the friendships that developed as a result of these meetings. Words cannot begin to describe the overwhelming sadness that her loved ones are experiencing as a result of her death. However, we are consoled with the knowledge that Kay is in a better place. Mama, we appreciate all you did for us. Our love for you is endless. We will think of you everyday and will cherish your memory.

ROBERT LEE LAM
Robert Lee Lam, a retired newspaper advertising executive whose interest in the history of New Market resulted in a considerable collection of old photographs and memorabilia, died Wednesday, December 21 at Life–Care Center of New Market after a 10-month battle with stomach cancer. He was 77. Mr. Lam was born Feb. 12, 1928 east of New Market, son of William Thomas and Zella Good Lam. He attended public school at New Market and became well acquainted with the town as a boy when he delivered milk door-to-door for the local dairy. Considering his interest in the community’s people and their day-to-day lives, no one was surprised when in 1944 Mr. Lam went to work for the town’s newspaper, The Shenandoah Valley. At the newspaper, Mr. Lam worked his way up to the print shop ladder from printer’s devil to linotype operator, arguably the most skilled job in the printing business at that time. The linotype machine, invented in 1886 by the famed German scientist Ottman Mergenthaler, would cast lead into type and operated from a keyboard. Until the advent of the linotype, newspaper type had all been set by hand. During his days at the Valley, he met and married Norma Fadeley, the assistant to the cashier of the local bank. Mrs. Lam went on to become cashier and then vice president of the bank during a distinguished career, and at one time served on the New Market Town Council, including a term as vice mayor. Mr. Lam remained at the Valley until 1970, a year before the newspaper’s publisher, John Godfrey Miller, died, leaving the sale of the paper to his widow. He joined the staff of The Shenandoah Herald at Woodstock as director of retail advertising and soon found himself selling ads for his former newspaper, which was merged with The Herald to form The Shenandoah Valley Herald. He was the most successful print media advertising sales manager in Shenandoah County during his years at the Valley-Herald, owing partly to his perseverance but also to the fact that advertising decisions in those days were made by manager and owners of local businesses, companies that later became part of corporate America. As advertising director of the Valley-Herald, Mr. Lam received more than two dozen citations from the Virginia Press Association for ad campaigns and for graphic design. He served on the VPA Advertising Committee and conducted seminars on sales techniques for fledgling newspaper advertising representatives. Mr. Lam left the Valley-Herald in 1985 to accept a similar position with The Free Press. As a member of the newspaper’s founding staff, he was instrumental in planning its creation. He retired in 1990 but later accepted employment selling insurance for Shenandoah Mutual Insurance Co. in Woodstock. He continued to work part-time until his death. For most of his life, Mr. Lam’s untiring interest in the history of New Market, particularly its 20th Century years, led him to collect old photographs and artifacts. His collection is extensive. His interest in New Market’s past inspired him to edit an old manuscript, written early in the 20th century by a prominent town native but never published. After he was diagnosed with cancer, Mr. Lam footnoted the manuscript with anecdotal information about the town and illustrated it with photographs from his own collection to produce New Market Remembered, a 60-page narrative covering the period from 1910 to the present. The book was completed three months ago, and currently is in its second printing. Mr. Lam at one time was actively involved in the work of the Shenandoah County Unit of the American Cancer Society. He served as crusade chairman and later as president of the local chapter. He served on the Board of Zoning Appeals for the Town of New Market, was Lee District solicitor for the American Red Cross and was on the original committee to plan New Market’s Fourth of July Celebration, at that time the largest such event in Shenandoah County. As a boy he attended Manor Memorial Methodist Church of New Market, but later became active at Reformation Lutheran church and served on its official board and its building committee. In recent years, he returned to the Methodist Church and had become a member there. On July 27, 1957 he married the former Norma Fadeley, who survives. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews. Bob was the last surviving member of his immediate family, having been preceded in death by a sister, Frances Wine and a brother, Walton Lam. Dr. Steve Proctor and the Rev. Richard Bland will conduct a memorial service at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, December 27 from the Manor Memorial United Methodist Church. Private internment was held in Emmanuel Cemetery, New Market. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Manor Memorial United Methodist Church building fund, Box 340, New Market, Va. 22844 on Rockingham Memorial Hospital Hospice program. Arrangements entrusted to the Theis Funeral Chapel, 9377 Congress St., New Market, Va.
