Carl M. Lamm was born June 28th, 1884 near Alton, Kansas, and passed away in a Colorado Springs hospital December 25th, 1954 at the age of 70 years, 3 months and 27 days.
He resided near his birthplace until 1905 when he moved in a covered wagon to Colorado near Ramah, where he homesteaded. In 1910, he was united in marriage to Thyra A. Lind. To this union were born six children: Glenn, Victor, Ben, Millard, Hildegarde, and Ansel.
He took an active part in the Farmers Union at Simla, Colorado. He helped in the building of the Evangelical Church in Simla by giving of his time and money. In 1921 he united with the Evangelical Church by letter from the Friends Church and remained a member until his departing from this life.
Forty-four years were spent on the original homestead following which he moved to Colorado Springs. His long-suffering due to illness revealed the fruits of the Spirit as mentioned in Gal. 5:22 "But the fruit of the Sprit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and Temperance."
He is survived by his wife, Thyra, daughter Hildegarde, of Colorado Springs; his sons, Victor and Ben of Colorado Springs; Glenn, Millard and Ansel of Ramah; six grandchildren; two brothers, Guy E. Lamm of Matheson, and Orville Lamm of California; one sister, Jane A. Lamm of Simla, and one half-brother, Elmer Lamm, of California.
