    Frank H. Lamb, M. D., whose name heads this biographical record, has devoted
his life to his profession, and he has been deservedly crowned with its choicest
rewards. To attain the success which he has reached he has never resorted to
extraneous means or influences or arts by which popularity is sometimes
purchased at the expense of science of truth. He has risen simply by the same
means which would have enabled any other person to have arisen to his place, and
without which no man in any of the professions can hope to achieve permanent
distinction. There are heights to which even genius cannot soar which can only
be reached by patient, arduous, unremitting toil, unfaltering courage and
inflexible determination to succeed. Dr. Lamb is a highly intelligent man of
quick perceptions and sharp discrimination. His being possessed of a thorough
classical and medical education, in combination with his inate talents explains
also why he is such a successful specialist. He loves science for its own sake
and is enthusiastic in his efforts to elevate the standard of the medical
profession and to alleviate the sufferings of mankind. Dr. Lamb was born in
Crawfordsville, Ind., April 11, 1877, a son of Rev. George C. Lamb, D. D., and
Mary Louise (Heady) Lamb, who reside in this city. Rev. George C. Lamb is pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Cincinnati. Dr. Lamb received his early education
in the public schools of Boone, Iowa. In 1892 he attended the Wabash College
preparatory school. After completing his studies here, he took up a course of
study at the Miami University in 1893-4, and later spent two years at Oberlin
College, 1895-6-7. He also spent two years at the University of Michigan, from
which he was graduated with the class of 1898, with the degree of Bachelor of
Surgery. In 1899, Dr. Lamb took up a medical course at the University of
Michigan and after leaving here entered the Ohio-Miami Medical College at
Cincinnati. He was graduated from here with the class of 1901 with the degree of
Doctor of Medicine. After his graduation Dr. Lamb then entered the Cincinnati
Hospital as an intern, where he remained for nineteen months. Leaving here he
went to Glendale, where he successfully practiced his profession for three
years. In 1904, Dr. Lamb accepted an appointment as teacher of physiology in
Harvard University, and while here took up a course of study in children's
diseases. Later Dr. Lamb taught physiology in the Ohio-Miami Medical College at
Cincinnati, remaining in this position for nearly four years. In 1906 he went to
Europe for further study and for one year took post-graduate courses in London,
Vienna and Berlin. Upon his return from Europe Dr. Lamb settled in Cincinnati
and began practicing. It was not long before he was noted throughout, not only
this state, but others for his wonderful skill in handling children's diseases.
Dr. Lamb's practice has increased to such an extent that he has difficulty in
answering all the demands made upon him. In politics Dr. Lamb holds allegiance
to the Republican party, but never cared for the emoluments of office. In
religious affiliations he and his family are members of the Presbyterian church.
Fraternally, he is a valued member of the Rotary Club, Masonic Blue Lodge, Beta
Theta Pi and Alpha Kappa Kappa. Dr. Lamb is a man thoroughly genuine with a
nature to which all pretense is foreign; he has a remarkable talent for making
and keeping friends and the reason of this is his thorough belief in that, "the
man is truly successful who contributes largely to the happiness and welfare of
his fellows." Dr. Lamb brought to his profession learning, acquired at home and
abroad, a devotion that ever distinguishes really great physicians, and an
energy that never tires. Dr. Lamb has won more than local fame as a skilled
specialist and is constantly sought in consultation by eminent physicians from
this and other states. He seems to have an almost intuitive recognition of
disease. His scientific knowledge, his high character, and his thoughtful
kindness have won him a great circle of friends. No one can be brought within
the circle of his influence, without being struck with the winning and
delightful charm of his manner, and his sterling qualities of character. The
influence of human life can never be estimated but such men as Dr. Lamb create
and maintain the honor of our city and country.
