Again the people of this community are reminded that man is mortal and must pass away to that land from no traveler has ever return.

Mr. Joe Lamb, son of Mr. Sam Lamb, age about 18 years, was returning from the barbeque at Richland in the evening of June 22d in company with Mr. Will Hartfield, little thinking that in a few short hours he would be cold in death; while ridng over the bridge over Elm, they were then taken by surprise to see about 30 yards ahead of them a run away team hitched to Mr. J.A. Hartfield's buggy coming at full speed. Mr. Will Hartfield succeeded in getting off the bridge and out of the way, while Mr. Lamb's horse was knocked down, and Mr. Lamb trampled under the feet of the run away team, crushing his head in a most shocking manner. He lived only 2 or 3 hours.

Mr. Hartfield dismounted and as quickly removed the buggy which had fallen upon him and which probably helped caused his death as one was resting upon his head. Mr. Hartfield raised him up, the work was done and he never spoke.

Mr. Lamb, a splendid young man, a good and consistent member of the Baptist Church and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves an aged father and a large number of relatives to mourn his loss.

He was interred in the Lamb graveyard two miles northeast of Woodland on the following day by a concourse of 200 friends and relatives who stood with bowed heads while Mr. Will T. Stubbs spoke a few words and offered prayer. Peace to his ashes.
