ANNIE LAMBERT

  Mrs. Annie Lambert, aged 81 years, died at the home of her adopted son, 
William Lambert, at Latrobe, Pa., last Friday morning.  She was the wife of the 
late Edward Lambert, who preceded her in death about 15 years or more ago.  She 
had been in poor health for about ten years, and was a citizen of Salisbury 
since about 1875, the last few years living with her son.  She died of gangrene, 
and her body was brought here by a Latrobe mortician and directly taken to the 
Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery and buried by the side of her late husband's grave, 
last Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
  Mrs. Lambert was a devout Christian and though no children were born to her 
and her husband, they reared the adopted son aforesaid, and also an adopted 
daughter, May, who became the wife of Fred J. Harris, and preceded Mrs. Lambert 
in death.  Mr. and Mrs. Lambert were great lovers of children, and adopted two 
when both were infants, giving them a good home and helped them to become good 
citizens, a credit to themselves and to their foster parents.
  Mrs. Lambert was Miss Annie Matheny before she was married; her father, a 
Civil War veteran, died soon after the war, and her mother, the late Mrs. Mary 
Matheny, was a resident of Salisbury for many years.
