OBITUARY
GILES JEFFERSON LAMB
12 JULY 1850 – 12 JANUARY 1924

19 January 1924
Well known citizen of Mount Moriah dead. G.J. Lamb, aged 73, a prominent citizen of the Mount Moriah neighborhood died at 11:30 Friday following a long illness. Mr Lamb was stricken with paralysis on Thursday and never rallied. He had been in failing health about two years, and his death was not unexpected. Interment at the Mount Moriah Cemetery, near the Lamb home. Mr Lamb us syrvived by his wife and twelve living children. Three children preceded him to the grave, as did his first wife. Perhaps the bitterest blow of his life was the death of his two sons, Herbert and Ernest, who gave their lives on the battle fields of France. The bodies of these two boys were brought back here in the spring of 1922 and buried at Mount Moriah on Easter Sunday, 1922. The father seemed never to recover from the loss of these two sons, and his health failed soon afterward. The surviving children are Tom Lamb, of Water Valley, Kentucky, near Latham; Mrs Burnie Roberts, Fulton; Mrs Emmitt Caldwell; Mrs G.C. Holladay; Mrs Ben Golden, Mount Moriah; Mrs Buel Warren, Centrailia, Illinois; Buford Lamb, Chicago, Illinois; Robert Lamb, Miss Ruby Lamb; and Wayne Lamb, who lived in the Lamb home. Mr Lamb was a faithful member of the Methodist Church and he was known over the entire section as a man whose word was as good as his bond. While his departure will cause sadness among his loved ones, they will feel the sweet assurance that he is happier in that better land, where human sorrows are unknown and where his broken body will be whole again.
