William Lambert, woolen manufacturer at Reed City, was born Nov. 23, 1837, at 
Cavan, Ont., and is the son of Richard and 

Elizabeth (amos) Lambert.  His father was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1808, 
and his mother in Dalkeith, Scotland, in 

1818.  They moved to Ontario in 1832, settling in Cavan, and are now living in 
Ailsa Craig, in the Dominion, to which 

point they moved in 1859.

Mr. Lambert left the parental home in 1856, going to the township of London, 
where he resided most of the time until his 

removal to Reed City, arriving June 2, 1883.  Here he purchased a building a 
mile and a quarter from the city for the 

purpose of converting it into a woolen mill; but finding that a poor 
investment after a nine month's trial, he purchased 

the building he now occupies in Reed City, where he is setting out in good 
earnest in his chosen business.

He was married Oct. 9, 1858, in the city of London, Ontario, to Miss Ann 
Waugh, the daughter of Robert and Margaret 

(Robson) Waugh, the former a native of Scotland and the latter of the North of 
England.  Mrs. L. was born in Lobo 

Township, Ont., May 13, 1841.  To Mr. and Mrs. L. have been born six children, 
as follows:  Robert A., Sept. 9, 1859, in 

the 15th concession, Land Township, Ont.; Margaret, Jan. 3, 1861, at the same 
place; Isabella, June 1, 1863, at Varna, 

Ont.; Elizabeth M., July 24, 1867, in London Township, Ont.; and Richard A., 
Nov. 28, 1868, in the same township.
