ary 1884 he was married to Miss Lucy
Foote. His wife and two children sur
vive him. Mr.. Lambert's early life was
one of much promise. He was bright
student, proficient and thorough in all
departments of school work. In social
circles his ready wit and rare kindli-
ness of disposition, won for him many
friends. Entering business life he dis
played the ability, energy and integrity
that made the successful man. About
five years ago his health became SER
iously impaired, gradually strength
failed, until his early manhood at the
age of SO years. his life work was ended.
Mr.. Lambert had peculiar love for
flowers, and it was very fitting that he
should be surrounded by them at his
funeral Sc. vice. The family friends
wish to express their appreciation Of
the floral offerings sent on that occa-
sion, and to all who thoughtfully
remembered him with sympathy and
kindness in his illness, and during the
long period when he was cut off from
active life, they are most sincerely
grateful.
