Lamb - George W.
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal May 9, 1902
Sunday between 10 and 11 o'clock p.m. at his home, 113 1/2 south Washington street, occurred the death of Captain George W. Lamb. Capt. Lamb had been in failing health for seven years, and his death was caused by a hardening of the nerve centers and brain substances. The funeral occurred at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the home, the interment being at Oak Hill. George W. Lamb was born in this county, sixty-eight years ago, but his early life was spent in Ohio. In 1856 he was married to Mary E. Jordan in this city, who survives him. Mr. Lamb was a member of the old Montgomery guards as far back as 1856, being orderly sergeant and a fine drill master. At the opening of the civil war he enlisted as a member of company E, 15th Indiana infantry, and because of his wide knowledge of military affairs, was at once made captain of the company. On account of failing health, he resigned from the service, but later resigned in the 150th Indiana serving until the close of the war as lieutenant in his regiment. Mr. Lamb was a merchant tailor by trade and spent most of his life in this city. He had a wide acquaintance in military and business circles and the news of his death will be received with regret. - thanks to Kim H
