Mrs. Celia Lamport, widow of Nathan Lamport, Jewish philanthropist and former president of the Yeshivah College, died Tuesday in Brooklyn at the age of 61. The deceased, who was the second wife of Mr. Lamport, is survived by three children of her first marriage and by a sister. Mr. Lamport, who died in 1928, left a fortune estimated at between one and two million dollars, which he made in cotton goods and real estate. A life interest in $100,000 which he bequeathed to his widow now goes to the Ansl Charity Foundation.
