Obituary: Clinton Advertiser Saturday April 4, 1925 p. 6 Thursday night, Mrs. Artemus Lamb passed away at her home on Fifth avenue, after a long and tedious illness. The Master called and she obeyed the loving summons. Hers has been a useful and busy life. Charitable she was almost to a fault, and long before illness had confined her to her home, she did her acts quietly and personally, without publicity or ostentation. Her heart and hand were ever open to those in need, and her ready ear ever alert to the wail of suffering or distress. With all the activities of her younger and busy days, must be added the crowning title of mother. This, the greatest mission which can be entrusted to humanity, she fulfilled with an eye single to the wiches of the Master, and now, as we lay her away, her children and children's children can rise up and call her blessed. Henrietta Sabrina Smith Lamb was born in Perry, Ohio, April 16th, 1845, died April 2, 1925, making her nearly 80 years of age at the time of her death. In 1847, her family came west, locating in Laona township, Winnebago county, Illinois. In 1854 they moved to Maquoketa, Iowa; in October, 1860 to Clinton, this having been her home since that time. She was married October 11th, 1865 to Artemus Lamb. To them were born five children-three sons, Garrett, Dwight and Burt, and two daughters, Emma and Clara. Mr. Lamb and two sons, Dwight and Burt preceeded their mother in joining the great majority. Of the surviving family there are three children, Garrett, Emma, (Mrs. M.J. Gates), Clara (Mrs. R.B. McCoy), six grandchildren, Artemus Gates, New York City, John Gates, Bend, Oregon, Henrietta Gates, Valeria (Mrs. Jack Thornton) New York City, Artemus Lamb in Yale, New Haven and Albert McCoy and one sister, Mrs. J.S. Bevier. Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the Fifth avenue home. Rev. J.M. Duer, pastor of the First Presbyterian church officiated. Mrs. E.L. Miller and D.E. Leslie sang during the service. Honorary pallbearers were A.G. Smith, A.R. Olney, John D. Van Allen, C.H. Young, W.W. Cook, E.A. Schultz, G.L. Curtis, F.B. King and G.E.
