Brief mention was made last week of the death of Ed. R. Lambertson, long time resident and prominent business man, which occurred in a hospital at Rochester, Minn. at 4 o'clock last Thursday morning. Mr. Lambertson had been in ill health for several years, suffering from Bright's disease and diabetes, and during the past year had been confined to his home the greater part of the time. His condition became much worse during recent weeks and early last week he determined to go to Rochester and was accompanied there by Mrs. Lambertson and Dr. Helen Ensing. He arrived there on Tuesday morning of last week and subsequently developed pneumonia which caused his death.
The remains were brought back to his home in Hawarden and funeral services were held at the Methodist Church at 3:30 Sunday afternoon with Rev. Robert F. Chapler in charge. Members of the Masonic lodge and Veterans of Foreign Wars attended in a body and participated in the burial rite at Grace Hill cemetery where S. W. Brown conducted the Masonic burial service and the firing squad fired the salute to the dead. Honorary pall bearers were close friends and business associates, Chas. Sedgwick, Walter Scott, Ralph Wheeler, Roy Nelson, Earl Slife and Claus Peters. Active pall bearers were members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Robert Wright, Harry Dawson, J.C. Dawson, Earl Mallette, Oscar Pierson and John Barinsky.
Ed. R. Lambertson was born at De Witt, Iowa, December 2, 1872, so lacked but one day of being 66 years old at the time of his death. At the age of 14 he moved with his parents to Beresford where he grew to young manhood. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 he enlisted in the First South Dakota Volunteer Infantry and served for 14 months in the Philippine Islands. His brother, Harry Lambertson enlisted at the same time and served in the hospital corps. Following his discharge in 1899 he returned to Beresford and in 1900 came to Hawarden as a grain buyer for his brother-in-law, J.T. Scroggs of Beresford. After several years here he went to Sturgis, S.D., where he made his home on a claim for some time, and subsequently was employed as a grain buyer at Hurley and Monroe, S.D. He returned to Hawarden in 1914 and for the next six years served as grain buyer here for the Farmers Elevator Co., but since 1920 has been engaged in the grain and coal business here for himself. He was recognized as a highly capable business man and met with a marked degree of success.
He was united in marriage with Miss Allie Brunskill of Hawarden on November 4, 1915, and she survives him. He is also survived by one daughter by a prior marriage, Mrs. J.C. Sinclair of Sioux City; one brother, Scott Lambertson of DeWitt, Iowa; and two sisters, Mrs. J.H. Montgomery of Fairfield, Iowa, and Mrs. J.T. Scroggs of Tulsa, Okla. His parents, five brothers and one sister preceded him in death.
Mr Lambertson was a long time member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges and was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was widely known in this locality and had many warm friends who mourn his death.
Relatives and friends from out of town who were here to attend the funeral included Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Sinclair, Mr. and Mrs. K.F. Lichty, Mr. and Mrs. Antone H. Roeper, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scorggs and Mrs. Vera Reid, all of Sioux City; Mrs. J.H. Montgomery and daughter, Miss Lydia, of Fairfield, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ensign and Alfred Ensign of Northwood, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Sullivan of Eagle Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Prouty of Mitchell, S.D.; Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Pearson of Bridgewater, S.D., and W.W. Winders of Huron, S.D.
