Belding Banner – Thursday, 21 December 1911
Lamb, Edward M.
DOD:  Thursday, 14 December 1911

Last Thursday noon as the Banner was about to go to press the sad news reached 
us that Edward M. Lamb, senior member of the old and well known firm of Lamb 
Bros. had passed away after a short illness with lagrippe, followed by a 
stroke of paralysis.  No death in our city for many months has caused such a 
gloom to settle over the city and community.

Edward M. Lamb was born in the city of Monroe in eighteen fifty-three, and 
when a small boy moved with his parents to Ypsilanti where he resided till he 
came to manhood, after which like many another young man he tried the 
destinies of the great west being located for sometime at Minneapolis, from 
whence he came to this city about twenty years ago.

Eighteen years ago he was joined in matrimony to Miss Emma Moulton a popular 
lady of this city who still survives him.  Deceased was  fifty-eight years of 
age and leaves beside his wife three sisters and four brothers, who mourn the 
loss of a greatly beloved brother.  Funeral services were held at the late 
home on Saturday morning conducted by Rev. Floyd Keeler, Rector of Holy 
Trinity church, after which the remains were taken to Ypsilanti where they 
were placed in a vault for burial on the family lot later.  Short services 
were also held at the chapel in Ypsilanti.

An honest man, beloved by all who knew him, Belding will miss him greatly.  
The casket was literally buried beneath a mountain of beautiful flowers and 
floral pieces, all bearing mute testimony to the love and esteem in which 
deceased was held by all.  The brothers surviving are John Lamb of Ypsilanti, 
Charles Lamb of Charlotte, Fred Lamb of Ann Arbor, and Harry A. Lamb of this 
city, the sisters, Mrs. Susan Henwood of Brantford Ont. and the Misses Jane 
and Elizabeth of Ypsilanti.  Mr. Lamb was a member of the Fortuna Lodge 
Knights of Pythias, of which he was a highly esteemed member.
