FRANK LAMBERT. This gentleman is a representative English-American citizen and 
a pioneer of DuPage Township, now enjoying the many comforts and the ease of 
life to which his former labors fairly entitle him. In the toils and successes 
of long years he has been aided by a noble wife, who shares with him in the 
results of their labors and in the deep esteem of the many friends they can 
boast. Mr. Lambert was born in Lincolnshire, England, September 19, 1829, and 
is a son of William and Elizabeth Lambert, and a brother of George Lambert, 
whose biography occurs elsewhere in this volume. He was reared on a farm in 
his native country with but limited school privileges, and in 1851, in company 
with his brother George, emigrated to America. He came direct to Will County, 
in which he has been a continuous resident, since his arrival. In 1859 he 
settled upon a tract of land on section 20, DuPage Township, where he has made 
for himself a home of attractive appearance and value. The farm secured by our 
subject was an unbroken prairie, upon which he turned the first furrow and has 
made all the improvements that now stamp it as a well-developed farm. It 
consists of one hundred and sixty acres which bear no resemblance to their 
pristine rawness, but whereon waving fields of grain replace the rank grasses 
of a former period, and good buildings shelter a pleasant family, flocks and 
herds and plentiful crops. Industry and perseverance have conquered untoward 
surroundings and Mr. Lambert can point with pride to the record he has made 
and the share he has borne in the development of the country. The faithful 
companion of Mr. Lambert was known in her maidenhood as Miss Elizabeth Arter, 
their marriage rites having been celebrated May 27, 1856. She is a daughter of 
John and Ellen After both born in Pennsylvania. The former died June 23, 1890, 
in Plainfield, Ill., and the latter, March 31, 1868. Her maternal grandfather, 
John King, was an Englishman and a Revolutionary soldier in the American Army. 
To Mr. and Mrs. Lambert eight children have been born, three being deceased, 
namely: Jesse, Anna B. and Sarah. The survivors are: George; Ellen, wife of A. 
Weinhold, of Kansas; Frank S.; Alice, wife of Rollin George, of Minnesota, and 
Grace. Mr. Lambert is a Republican, and both he and his wife belong to the 
Presbyterian Church. They have instilled into the mind and hearts of their 
progeny the principles of right living, carried them out in their own lives 
and now enjoy an extended circle of acquaintances among the best people. Mr. 
Lambert has become well known as a man of the strictest integrity.
