Here is some of the detail from the above article:

Parents - James Lappin and Martha Best.
Married 1908, Victoria.
Children: Joyce Lucinda 1909-2003 Walter Benjamin 1911-1922 Mary Rachel (Bagley) 1913-1987 Olive Matilda (Owen) 1915-2001
Federal Standard (Chiltern, Vic. : 1914 - 1918), Fri 7 Aug 1914, Page 2, FATAL MINING ACCIDENT AT CHILTERN VALLEY.
MR. BENJAMIN LAPPIN THE VICTIM. While working in the Chiltern Valley No. 8 mine, on Wednesday, Mr Benjamin Lappin was killed by a fall of earth and timber... ...The manager (Mr J. Cock) who was on the mine, speedily got the men to work to remove the debris and he never left the place until 11 o'clock at night when the body was recovered. The relays of men who were present worked liked Trojans and it was with great regret that they found life extinct when their old comrade was discovered. His three brothers, Messrs William, Jacob and Alfred, were present at the mine during the operations, and lent valuable help in the relief work... ...Deceased, who was 40 years of age, was the son of the late Mr James Lappin and a native of Xmastown. For up wards of 25 years he had been employed by the Chiltern Valley Company... ...The greatest sympathy is felt for his widow and three little children, the eldest being about five years of age, who have been bereft by their breadwinner.
Inscription In loving memory of Benjamin Lappin, accidentally killed Aug 4th 1914, aged 46 years. Also his son, Walter, died Oct 4th 1922 aged 11 years. Thy will be done.

Welcome to the Australian Projects team. I am working on the Eureka Stockade project. You will find most people on Wikitree to be supportive & helpful. If there you have any questions I'm happy to find an answer. Ken
Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!
Because pre-1700 ancestors are usually shared by many descendants, collaborating with members of the projects which coordinate them is essential.
Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Review the project pages to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members. I see you have already joined the Australia Project; the above list might be helpful if you want to see other available projects.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)
Remember to cite reliable sources in pre-1700 profiles you manage, or edit. (See: Pre-1700 Reliable Sources).

Start with the pages https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_Member_How-To - they are really useful as you add profiles and learn your way around:
Let me know if you require assistance. I am happy to help. After adding my own family and ancestors I have found many cousins and distant ancestors here on WikiTree.
