About Edmund Lamy
Lived 1891 – 1962 (aged 71).
Edmund A. Lamy (18 January 1891 – 6 September 1962 ) was an American amateur and professional speed skater primarily active in the 1910s and 1920s.
Biography Lamy first came into prominence on the speed skating scene during the 1907–1908 winter, and was seen as a worthy successor of the former amateur speed skater Morris Wood who turned professional in 1908.
