James Lambe is Dead

James Lambe, one of the best known early pioneers of Jackson County, died on 
Tuesday morning at 6:50 o’clock, aged eighty-eight years. Mr. Lambe was born in 
Mount Mellick, Queens County, Ireland, on June 15th, 1818, and came to America 
to Pennsylvania in 1845. In the year 1854, he came west settling on a farm in 
the vicinity of Otter Creek, where he was actively engaged in farming until 
about twelve years ago., when he retired.

In the year 1856 he was united in marriage in Dubuque to Miss Ellen Callahan, 
who passed away a number of years ago. He is survived by one daughter and six 
sons, Mary C., D. E., and James F. of West Hope, North Dakota, John P., Frank 
L., and Patrick A., of Graettinger, Iowa.

The funeral will take place at six o’clock on Wednesday morning from Mercy 
Hospital, where the aged man had made his home for a number of years, to Otter 
Creek via the C. M. & St. Paul railroad at 8 o’clock, where the burial will 
take place.

The death of the esteemed man is deeply regretted throughout the section where 
he was so well known and where he was held in the kindest regard. His genial 
kindness of character won countless friends, who mourn sincerely the passing of 
the good man. A devout member of the Roman Catholic faith, his life was one 
exemplary, and death found him ready for his reward.-Dubuque Telegraph, Feb. 
10th

(He was the father of Thomas J. Lambe, cashier of the LaMotte Savings Bank, a 
name inadvertently omitted by the Telegraph, and was quite well known in 
Maquoketa, and frequently visited this city on business when a resident of 
Jackson County.)
