Hanah E. Lambert



From The Garnett Review



Hanah E. Lambert, formerly Hanah E. Nickelson, was born at Springfield,

Ill., February 12, 1848, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alva

Pitchford, November 23, 1918, aged seventy years, nine months, and

eleven days.



She was united in marriage with John R. Lambert, at Springfield, Ill.,

December 31, 1864. Of this union were born eleven children, seven

daughters and four sons. She is survived by three sons, five daughters,

two sisters and three brothers, her husband, one son and two daughters

having predeeded her.   

                  

Mrs. Dora Millington and Maye Standley, of Fort Scott; Josie Pitchford

and Fanie Defenbaugh, of Garnett, were at her side during her last brief

illness. Frank and Phillip arrived later. One daughter, Annie Day, of

Woodston, and Joe, of Hutchinson, could not come on account of

influenza.



She with her husband and two children, came to Kansas in 1868, and

settled on the old homestead, where they remained until three years ago,

when she moved to Garnett, where she lived until her death.



Mrs. Lambert was a pioneer settler of Anderson county, and has witnessed

many historical incidents. On April 23, 1887, their home was completey

destroyed by a cyclone, in which Mr. Lambert received a lifetime injury.



She was a consistent Christian, having been converted in her early life.

She was a member of the M. E. church. Her life was full of sacrifice.

Sparing not herself, she toiled on through weary days and nights with a

devotion that only a loving mother can give.



The inspiring things of her life and her example as a true mother will

live in the minds of those left behind, and make them feel that the

world was made brighter by the life that bloomed and faded.



Mrs. Lambert was energetic in business and highly respected by all her

acquaintances. She was a friend to all who knew her.



Funeral services were held at the home of her daughter November 26, in

charge of Rev. W. H. Mulvaney, pastor of the M. E. church at Garnett,

and interment was made in the Deer Creek cemetery, beside her husband,

under the auspices of the Relief Corps, of which she had been a  member

almost fifty years.
