Notes from Monrovia
Monrovia, April 7, 1884
To the Editor of The Champion
We have no reason, this spring, to complain about droughty Kansas. Every little cloud, and almost every day, brings forth gentle, copious showers.
Health in our neighborhood is remarkably good, yet a few days ago the bell of our village tolled the sad intelligence of the death of our aged and highly esteemed citizen, Lawrence Lamberson, who had nearly reached his ninety-first birthday. He had suffered considerably during the winter, but passed gently away, with full faith in God.
Lawrence Lamberson a veteran of the war of 1812, died at the age of 90 years, 11 months and 22 days. relocated from Onondaga county, New York to Monrovia, Kansas in 1858 where Mr. Lamberson took up farming.
He was born April 4, 1793 in Camillus, Onondaga county, New York state, the son of Nicholas and Eleanor Sebring Lamberson. He married Clarissa Stephens January 17th, 1817, they were the parents of ten children: Nicholas Lamberson, Sarah S. Lamberson, George Lamberson, Alfred Lamberson, John Lamberson, Charles Giles Lamberson, Moses Harrington Lamberson, Stephens Lamberson, Clarissa Lamberson and Catherine Lamberson.

MONROVIA.
Monrovia is a station on the line of the Central Branch of the Missouri Pacific, a few miles west of Farmington. Although it now consists of but two stores and about fifty people, possessing a district school attended by sixty pupils, and a Methodist Episcopal Church, in charge of Rev. W. C. Day, Atchison, it is one of the oldest points in the county, the town having been platted as early as 1856. Caleb May was President of the Town company. Elijah Jones, N. Conley, L. H. Bishop, Col. Coulton, and other early settlers were interested in the town site. Among other early settlers who located in Monrovia and vicinity were S. J. H. Synder (now dead), who settled west of town; John Helwig, now living in Topeka; N. Connely and brother; Dr. J. C. Batsle, three miles northwest of town; John Graves, four miles southwest; Samuel Hipple and his son John; Daniel Campbell (dead); Jos. H. Talbott, now of Atchison; Len Hargrave, one mile north, and now an extensive stock dealer; Lawrence Lamberson, Moses H. Lamberson, Joseph Rodabough and James Meadows.
GEORGE A. LAMBERSON, SR., farmer, Section 8, P. O. Farmington. One who figured prominently at an early day in Atchison County, is the subject of this sketch. He is a native of New York, and was born in Onondago County, February 27, 1821; was reared, educated and learned the carpenter's trade in his native county. When he attained his majority, his father, Lawrence, gave him a farm, and for two years he followed agricultural pursuits. In 1846, came West, and for four years resided in Wisconsin, after which he went to California, remaining three years; returned to New York, and in the spring of 1858, came to Kansas, pre-empting a claim on Section 7, Center Township, Atchison County. After farming five years, removed to Monrovia, engaging in hotel-keeping and working at his trade. Monrovia, at that time, was a competing point for the county-seat, and Mr. Lamberson contributed amply toward the up-building of the town. After five years in Monrovia, again returned to farming, in which pursuit he is still engaged. At the time of his coming to Kansas, his father, Lawrence Lamberson, also took up his abode in the State, residing for a number of years. He now lives in Chicago, Ill., aged eighty-seven years. Mr. L. was married, May 15, 1844, to Miss Rosamon Lamberson, of New York. They have two children - George, jr., and Charles O.
