She was a devot, loyal member of the Mount Moriah Methodist Church. In fact, mrs Lamb was one of those lovable christian characters who was universally loved. The community will sorely miss her. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at Mount Moriah, by Rev. T.L. Peery, with her Grandsons as pallbears. Interment in the cemetery, W.W. Jones & Sons in charge of the arrangements.
