The Verden News
January 12, 1934


Miss Sadie Edna Lamb, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Lamb, succumbed at 
her home here Saturday evening at 710 o'clock after an illness of about 
three years.

She was born March 21, 1901 near Union City, Oklahoma and at the age of 
two years, her parents moved to Verden where she was reared and received 
her grade and high school education. She also attended colleges at 
Chickasha, Norman and Edmond. She taught school three and one half years 
at Shatook and four terms of school in Verden grade school, when her 
health failed.

Miss Sadie was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would 
make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but thought of the living 
hand that has removed her can reconcile us to her absence. While she has 
gone from the scene, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, 
she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her future 
was full of promises and we dare not ask why she was taken from us in 
her prime, unless, as flowers are picked before the frost finds them 
that we may not witness their decay. It is sad, indeed, to see one so 
well equipped for life taken, yet for her there was no standing on the 
border-land gazing into the unknown, for the death came as sunset died 
along the hills when day is over. A life imparts such lessons is well 
worth livings.

"But now she sleeps where daises nod
And the clover hangs its head,
Where the wild birds come and the wild bees hum,
Above her lonely bed.
She fought the fights, she kept the faith,
Her fame shines bright and clear,
And her memory lives in all our hearts,
Which will hold it ever dear."

At the age of fourteen she was converted and united with the Methodist 
church of which she was loyal and devoted to. The funeral services were 
held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. N. T. Peak.

At her funeral was assembled one of the largest crowds ever attending a 
like occasion in Verden.

Lifeless, but beautiful she lay in her casket of gray and white, 
surrounded by flowers many and beautiful, as token of friendship and 
sympathy for the bereaved ones and to draw their minds from their 
sorrows of earth and to tell that death is life and God is good, and all 
things shall be well for those who put their trust in Him, the one who 
giveth and who taketh away.

Bro. Peak brought words of comfort to the bereaved ones from the Bible 
and a quartette composed of Mrs. R. M. Caldwell, Mrs. J. N. Kern, 
Clifford Bell and F. G. Ransbarger, sang beautiful old hymns of promise, 
while Mrs. B. E. Heisler presided at the piano.

The pall bearers were Bert E. Heisler, L. G. Nuernberger, R. M. 
Caldwell, Norman Talkington and Phil Heisler, M. J. Phillipps

Burial was made in Verden cemetery

She is survived by her mother and father, W. L. Lamb, three brothers, 
Marvin of Norman, Okla., Ernest of Enid, Okla., and Robert of Verden. 
Three sisters, Mrs. Dalton Noel of Oklahoma City, Mrs. Roberta Davis of 
Anadarko, and Miss Florence of Verden. One sister having preceded her in 
death.

One uncle, J. L. Lamb of Verden, six aunts, Mesdames S. Hostick, Jodie 
Helderbrand of Verden, Emma Martanez of Anadarko, Edna Wilson of 
Chickasha, Sallie Collins of Electra, Texas and Claudia Barrick. Also 
grandmother Mrs. Zora McWhorter of Anadarko, 23 cousins, 4 nieces and 8 
nephews.

(21 Mar 1901 - 6 Jan 1934)
