Mr. Lambeth is a son of Josiah and Robecca Lambeth, and was born in
Guilford County, North Carolina, May 8, 1842.  He was left an orphan 
when but three years old, and was reared by his grandmother, and re-
ceived his education at the Monticello Academy, of his native State.
At the age of twenty, in the spring of 1862, he enlisted for the Con-
federate service in the Second N. C. Cavalry, but was transferred the
following fall to Gen. Lee's command, and served under Stewart and
Hampden till the close of the war.  He participated in the battles of
Newberne, Culpepper, Fedricksburg, and all other important movements
of that active army.  He was once seriously wounded, and disabled for
ten months, and was subsequently captured, just before the surrender.
Returning home after the war, he went to Henderson, Texas and engaged
in merchandising.  In 1868, he went to Montgomery County, and there 
married Miss Julia Bymaster.  Removing thence to Lebanon, Mo., he was
engaged as engineer in locating the "Frisco" R. R. to Springfield. 
In 1870, he moved to Christian County, Mo., and engaged in farming and 
stock raising till 1882, when he sold out and came to Bois D'Arc, this
county, and began merchandising with John Bymaster.  Mr. Lambeth is the 
father of four children, two of whom, Virgil C. and Fannie O., are 
still living at this writing.  He is a consistent member of the Christ-
ian Church.
