Death of Col. Lambertson
MR. EDITOR – The death of Col Samuel Lambertson has removed from our midst another of the old and honored citizens of our city. One who was for a long term of years, as well, perhaps better and more widely known in this city and county, than any one of her businessmen of that day.
It is not the intention of the writer to give a history of Col. Lambertson’s life among us, but simply to bear testimony to his personal worth as a citizen and friend.
Col. Lambertson was eminently kind and sympathetic, not only in his family but also to everyone. He would discommode himself to accommodate a friend. It was a hard thing for him to say no.
No one in need every applied to him in vain. His heart and purse were always open to those in distress. He was gentle, confiding, and unostentatious. He was thoroughly honest, and seemed to think everybody else so. He was industrious and attentive to his business. He was never found on the street, never heard speaking ill of his neighbor. His most lofty ambition seemed to be, to educate, and train his children for a useful Christian life, and to live an honest, upright, industrious and patriotic life himself. He was of a genial, sunny, hopeful disposition – true to his family, his friends, his church, and loyal to his country. I doubt if any man had more friends or fewer enemies in this community than he.
The writer was intimately associated with him for a number of years, and gladly bears testimony to these facts; not in a spirit of fulsome praise but as a just tribute of love to the memory of one who was faithful, even unto the end. L.
