It is with peculiar feelings of sorrow seldom experienced that we this Tuesday write lines announcing the death of Mrs. Emmett Lamb, eldest daughter of the late W. H. Anderson so long a resident of near Spring Hill this county, which death occurred at the home in Des Moines Tuesday, Dec 4, 1894 at 1 o’clock A.M. Mrs. Lamb was born June 1863 on the old farm west of Spring Hill where she grew to womanhood and was married November 7th, 1882 to Emmett Lamb. She was the mother of two children about 5 and 10 years of age, these with the husband and father are left to mourn the loss of a model wife and mother who has gone from them not out into uncertainty but into the absolute certainty of a satisfied immortality, the result of a well-founded belief in and practice of the principles as taught in the Bible. A few hours before the supreme moment arrived she took her husband and little children, five brothers, one sister and several cousins separately and bade them an affectionate farewell urging each to a higher and better life. In separating from her husband and children whom she loved as only the good can love was an act demonstrating a heroism seldom equaled in life. Intelligent, calm and deliberate she gave to them parting instructions and a blessing that will reach with them into eternity. To one of the relatives she asked, “why do you weep” and then said “if I had the strength I would shout for joy,” proving her confidence in the Christ she loved better than the loved ones of the world. To Linnie life was certainly desirable in the midst of young womanhood with a kind husband, who was always indulgent, children bright and intelligent, a pleasant home with future prospects unusually flattering made conditions calculated to make life enjoyable and to be wished for but she gave up all with a quiet dignity which drew forth a true admiration for qualities her closest friends were not aware she possessed. Her fortitude was such that only the moral victor can manifest and her triumphant death has made all who witnessed it better men and women. She was a member of the Methodist church and goes from its altars to all that heaven can give. In many parts of Warren county she was acquainted and had friends who will mourn her death, but especially was she known and loved about Spring Hill, the childhood home where she returns after years of absence, to sleep with parents in the old cemetery until the morning of brightness shall come. As we write, memory goes back to 1865, when on returning from the army we first met a dark haired, black eyed child, then two years old, at the home of our uncle, W.H. Anderson. That child was Linnie and those who knew her then will agree with us that she was a most beautiful child. From that day until this, the last day of her life on earth, we have had a loving regard for her welfare. The little black eyed, rosy cheeked girl of thirty years ago has completed a mission in life and rounded these short years so grandly in death, as to cause us to rejoice that she was of us—blood of our blood.
She was called on to suffer at the last more than the pen can tell but now she has gained that peace and rest for which she prayed in the midst of violent pain. She is with that innumerable throng and is satisfied for she has appeared in His likeness. A warmth of heart and sympathy goes out for the bereaved husband in this day of greatest sorrow. To him it is crushing and the best and only words we can say is to remember that there is a power that takes care of even the sparrow in its fall and upon that power he should and can lean heavily.
