Lamb -

Ezra G. Lamb, one of the early settlers of Gillford Township who did 
pioneer work in developing a farm from the wilderness, was born in Vermont, 
August 28, 1820. He was married in the the same state in 1841 to Laura J. 
Wilson, and in 1860 came with his family to Wabasha County, Minnesota. 
Here he arrived with but little means, but began farming in Gillford 
Township, he and his family living in a log house. He developed a farm 
of 160 acres in section 7, which farm is still in the family, being now 
the property of his son August. With the help of his sons Mr. Lamb brought 
his property into good condition, building a comfortable frame house and 
other buildings. He was successful as a farmer and was respected and 
esteemed as a man and a citizen. Politically a Republican, he had served 
while living in Pennsylvania in several local offices, but here took no 
active part in local affairs. He and his wife spent the rest of their 
lives on their farm, Mrs. Lamb dying September 26, 1914, and Mr. Lamb 
December 29, 1905. They were the parents of six children: Erastus, Lovina, 
Thaddeus, Julius, Gould and Augustus H. Erastus, who served in the Civil 
War, suffered hardships in the army which left him in poor health for the 
rest of his life and is now deceased. Lovina and Thaddeus are also dead. 
Julius is living at Monrovia, Calif., Gould is in Lake City, Minn., and 
Augustus H. is on the old home farm in Gillford Township, Wabasha County.
