George Lambert

Died March 12, 1881

    Another of the early pioneers of this section of the county died at his residence near this city at one o'clock on Saturday morning last.  Mr. Lambert has been gradually failing for the past year with throat and lung difficulties, which finally ended his career as above stated.  He was one of our most energetic and prudent business men, and all of his dealings with his fellow men was strictly honest and honorable, and he leaves many friends to mourn his loss.  He remains were followed to their last resting place in Silver Brook cemetery on Monday last by a large procession of sympathizing friends. He was in the 58 years of his age.
