Esau Lamb
And
Elizabeth Newby

Esau Lamb, son of Henry Lamb, was born about 1735.

He was reported on 4 May 1757 to be married (2nd husband) to Elizabeth Newby, (Quaker records Center Monthly Meeting, Perquimans County, North Carolina), who was born 10-30-1738 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina, daughter of Samuel Newby and Elizabeth Albertson. (See Newby-Albertson families).

On 3 March 1765, Esau and family requested a certificate to go to Pasquotank Monthly Meeting, in the next county to the east. Probably due to the war conditions, they made another move 16 October 1776, to Center Monthly Meeting, Guilford County, North Carolina. He apparently resided in the section that was formerly Rowan County, but was to become Randolph County in 1779. In the Tax List for that year he is named among the Quakers and Regulators who had not taken the oath of allegiance.

Esau died 8 May 1790, Randolph County, North Carolina, left a will dated 28 September 1788, proved June court 1790, recorded on Page 80 of Will Book 1.

He was married about 1783 to Rachel Nancy McErnelie, who was born 1762, in Virginia or North Carolina, possibly in Rutherford County, daughter of Elizabeth.

Rachel died in 1870.

Much of the information about this family comes from "Seals Family," by Greene.

The 10 year gap between child 1 and 2, makes me wonder if there had been another as 1st wife.

Joseph Lamb joined the Creek Church, in Hawkins County, Tennessee.

Joseph and Joseph, Jr., are on the 1836 Tax Rolls of Hancock County, Tennessee.

Joseph and Rachel are on the 1840 Census of Hancock County, Tennessee, with one son living at home; and on the 1850 Census there, with ages given as 88, and 85, both born in North Carolina. Living in the same neighborhood was a Jefferson Lamb, born 1827, who was married to Lucinda Wilder. He may be a son, grandson, or nephew.

In his old age, Joseph made chairs for a living. Hundreds of chairs made by Joseph are in existence. Lamb chairs are a distinctive form of ladderback, with three slats and turned finials to the posts.

Josiah Lamb, son of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Newby, was born 1771 in Randolph County, North Carolina.

He was married 28 June 1793 in Randolph County, to Naomi Underhill, born about 1774, Polecat Creek, Guilford County, North Carolina, daughter of John Underhill and Hannah White. (See Underhill Family)

As the large plantation economy based on slavery spread, Friends were increasingly confronted with the stark reality of just how brutal slavery really was. At estate sales, Friends saw husbands sold away from their wives and little children separated from their mothers. The state made it illegal to teach a slave to read the Bible, and finally even made it illegal to free one�s own slaves. Even slaves which had been previously freed by Quakers were frequently seized and sold back into slavery.

It became increasingly clear to Friends that the climate of slavery and greed were totally incompatible with Christianity. There was no way a Quaker could live there and be faithful.

Between 1790 and 1830, the overwhelming majority of Quakers looked for territory where they could rear their children free from the influence of slavery. Some had gone to Tennessee, where slavery had much less influence. The exodus began in 1799 when a few Friends left for the Miami Valley of Ohio, and to east or central Indiana. Many later moved on to Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.

The family of Josiah and Naomi began to move around a lot. They moved from Center Monthly Meeting, to Deep River Monthly Meeting, also in Guilford County, North Carolina. In 1802 they were received at Lost Creek Monthly Meeting in Jefferson County, Tennessee. July 1804 found Josiah Lamb, his wife Naomi, and their 6 children departing the Piney Grove Monthly Meeting in South Carolina on a trek to the Miami Monthly Meeting in Miami Township, Ohio. In September of 1805, the family reached Lost Creek Monthly Meeting, in Tennessee.

Finally, December 1805, Josiah and family, arrived in Miami Monthly Meeting, Ohio. The wanderlust is far from being satisfied, and in 1807 the family now grown to a total of 8 children, move to Whitewater township in Indiana, with a stop in Mill Creek Township in Ohio, between 1807 and 1814. Whitewater was in Wayne County, Indian Territory. New Garden Monthly Meeting was set-off from Whitewater Monthly Meeting, and the first meeting was held 18 March 1815.

Josiah Lamb was among those who were proposed for overseers. In the Wayne county deed book "A", pp 264-5, is recorded that on 10 March 1815, Josiah paid $30 to Obediah Harris Sr. and Miraim Harris, for 30 acres on Knowlins Fork, Sec. 11, Twp 17, Range 14, south of Fountain City, Indiana.

On 6 January 1819, Josiah set his X mark to a will in which he bequeaths "unto my beloved wife Naomi, the use, benefit, profit, and income of all my Estate, both real and personal, while she remains my widow, in order to bring up and Educate my Children; but in case she shall marry again she is to have one feather bed only, and at the decease or marriage of my wife," one dollar each to son John and daughter Hannah Beauchamp; his land to his other five sons, namely Jonathan, Esau, Reuben, William and Josiah; all household furniture to other three daughters, namely, Ruth, Nancy, and Betsy. (Wayne County Will book I, page 49)

On 21 September 1820, Naomi Lamb widow, (assets: 1 feather bed; liabilities: 7 minor children) married Abner Spray, out of unity with the church. See Spray Family

On October 1820, John Lamb, the eldest son of Josiah, was appointed Guardian for Esau, Betsy, Reuben, William, and Josiah, Orphan Children of Josiah Lamb Deceased (Wayne County Order Book "A," page 26)

John Lamb, was born 16 June 1794 Randolph County, North Carolina. Heiss� Volume 5, pg 715, Westbranch Monthly Meeting, Indiana, records his middle name as Evan, although this is the only place that it is found. He may have been born about 8 miles south of Greensboro, near Center Monthly Meeting, which was in Guilford County.

His parents, Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill attended the Piney Grove Meeting House, which was on the state line of South Carolina. The Quaker records kept in Marborough, South Carolina, give his birth date as 16 June 1794.

He was married 28 September 1814, at the New Garden Meeting House, near his father�s farm, to Lydia Mendenhall, who was born 3 December 1793, in North Carolina, daughter of Aaron Mendenhall and Miriam Rich. She was born 23 days before the death of her father (See Mendenhall and Rich Families, Part III) Lydia had moved to Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana, with her mother on 5 August 1811.

They were old-fashioned Quakers as were all the early members of that branch of the Lamb family. John was one of those forceful but unpretentious and modest characters who deserve a much better tribute then they will ever get because of the passing away of nearly all who knew him. John became guardian of five of his younger siblings when his mother remarried in 1820. Federal censuses have the family in 1830 in Wayne County, Indiana, Mill Township, Grant County, Indiana in 1840, Monroe Township, Howard County, Indiana in 1850. John, Lydia, their two youngest children, John's niece Tamar went to Dallas County, Iowa in 1852.

During the first 20 years of their marriage, John and Lydia, and family, moved 5 times, still in Indiana, and their family grew to a total of 11 children, 7 boys, and 4 girls.

On 11 September 1851, John and Lydia, son John, daughter Lydia Ann, and their niece Tamar Lamb (daughter of Jonathan,) who made her home with John after her father remarried) moved to Three Rivers Monthly Meeting, Linn Township, Dallas County, Iowa.

Within three years many of the Lamb families relocated in Dallas County also, including their oldest son Hezekiah Lamb and family. John had an original land grant, but the records could not be found at the courthouse in Adel, Iowa. However, there were several listings of both purchases and sales for John Lamb.

In 1856, John was a Charter Member of the new Bear Creek Monthly Meeting, set off from Three Rivers Monthly Meeting, in Dallas County.

The first Will Book of that county records on 18 January 1859, a will with some familiar words - "Item - I give and bequest unto my beloved wife Lydia, the use, benefit, profit, and income of all my estate . . while she remains my widow, but in case she shall marry again, she is to have a feather bed" John Lamb (seal) He did add the kitchen furniture.

He died 17 November 1858, Redfield, Dallas County, Iowa, buried in the East Lynn Cemetery, block 1, near Redfield, and is thought to be the first person buried there. His tombstone says "John Lamb- died 17d 11m 1858, age 63y 5m 2d." The birth record is the more reliable.

Lydia then lived with her daughter Lydia and James Harper, who are found on the 1860 Census of Jackson, Guthrie County, Iowa. She died 28 January 1867, in Linn, Dallas County, Iowa, and buried beside her husband in East Linn Cemetery. Sometime in that period she also lived with her son Hezekiah near Redfield.

The 8 oldest children were born in Wayne County Indiana. The younger ones were born in Grant County, Indiana.

"Memories of the Past and Thoughts of the Future"
by Rev Elkannah J Lamb

"My father located his claim one mile from the old Indian village, on the banks of the Des Moines River, where for years the savage red men had met in their council-house. At this time, in these wilds, the Indians far outhnumbered the white population, making the timid a little nervous. In these immensities of wide prairies and wild Indians we built our log cabin.

"To me there was an inexplicable attraction in these rough, rustic environments. With eyes to see and ears to hear ad a heart to feel nature�s touch, there s rhythmic music in streams and groves, shrubs and flowers, in murmuring clouds, the thunder�s distant roll, with the lightning�s flash indicating the coming storm. Here is awful sublimity that impresses the mind with the mysterious vastness of nature�s prolific storehouse, evidencing the power and wisdom of the Architect of the universe and contrasting man�s finite relation therewith.

"But it was no child�s play or poet�s dream to grapple with these negations of civilization. Thirty-five miles to the nearest mill, corn one dollar per bushel, pork six dollars per hundred, and money as scarce as virtue among antediluvians.

"We made an upright mortar out of a four-foot section of an oak log by a burning and adzing process, and in this rustic proviso our daily meal was pounded out through the winters of 1842 and 1843. One redeeming feature, however, was the fact of the abundance of fish and wild honey. With these luxurious commodities, and good appetites, they served to offset or neutralize our drastic fare. We ate our corn bread and fish with gusto and thankfulness.

"With my brother James, I often went on fishing excursions to the Des Moines River, catching nice strings of the finny tribe that amazingly helped to replenish our depleted larder.

"One of these excursions demands more than a passing notice. Having finished our fishing, we concluded to enjoy the pleasure and pastime of a bath. Throwing off our scanty attire, we plunged into the purling stream and enjoyed this liquid luxury immensely, diving, swimming, splashing, utterly oblivious of approaching danger, when my brother discovered, to our horror, several canoes loaded with Indians heading for us as fast as they could paddle.

"Brother�s eyes protruded like miniature pot-legs, and he said we must run, and run we did-with the alacrity of an abscondng banker. Not having the time nor the disposition to be governed by convention rules, we gathered up our attire and started with Olympic swiftness across the prairie for our lonely cabin, one mile distant. Our running in this nude condition seemed to delight these red devils.

"Looking back when we thought a distance of comparative safety intervened between us and the Indians, we saw that they had reached our place of bathing and were indulging in savage yells mingled with heathen laughter at our naked, rapid flight. They soon turned their boats down the river, no doubt rejoicing in their superior bravery. While this scare doubtless militated against my growth, it certainly added to the uprightness of my hair. Brother�s eyes finally assumed their normal relations.

A whole band of these Indians came by our cabin one night, on their way from the agency, where, contrary to law, they had obtained firewater. They came whooping and yelling, circling around our house as if to take us in. Father got out of bed and went out among them with nothing on but his nightclothes. This unusual demonstration (for a white man) appeared to delight them to a wonderful degree, for they indulged in merry ha, ha, ha�s. The fire-water having generated thirst, they called for "bish" (water). The spring being ten rods from the house, father went with them to give them a drink, his night clothes fluttering in the summer breeze. This was too much for the hilarious redskins, ad again they burst out in loud laughter. "How much? What name?" they demanded. "Esau," answered my father, as he handed them cups of water. Then they called out, "Good Esau, big Esau, he one brave," again evidencing their humorous sense with more laughter. Then on they went, their songs and jubilations ringing out upon the night air beneath the sparkling stars. Mother and we children had quite a nervous attack during this escapade.

For years these episodes served to break the monotony of frontier life. We finally became familiar with, and adapted ourselves to these environments. Many times, old Chief Black Hawk and his successor, Keokuk, came to our cabin. Black hawk�s eyes were keen and piercing, like an eagle�s; Keokuk�s, of mild demeanor. The Indians dubbed him "Squaw." Because he was for Peace; Black Hawk was for war. Thus we endured and enjoyed these strange experiences for two years.

But living in these wilds, away from relatives and civilized life, was not congenial to my mother; therefore in the spring of 1844. We sold out and returned to St. Joseph County, Indiana, locating near the beautiful St. Joseph River and St. Mary�s Catholic College."

Elizabeth (Betsy) Lamb, daughter of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born in 1810, in Miami County, Ohio.

She was married 18 November 1826, 2/wife to William Spray, who was born in 1805, in Chester County, Pensylvania, the son of Abner Spray and Mary Little. They were divorced before William died in 1850, in Ohio.

Elizabeth was married/2 on 8 November 1855, in Clinton County, Ohio, to Richard Applegate, who was born in 1812, in New Jersey. Elizabeth died before 1880.

Reverand Reuben Lamb, son of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born 4 May 1812, at the West Branch Monthly Meeting, in Miami County, Ohio.

He was married 26 May 1832, in Henry County, Indiana, to Catherine Emily Hodges, who was born 7 March 1813, in Indiana. He was a United Brethern minister.

On 4 April 1852, Reuben and Catherine E. Hodges, his wife, of St. Joseph County, Indiana, deed 40 acres to a James Lamb. This is probably the year in which Reuben, his brother, Esau, and Abijah Mills moved their families to Dallas County, Iowa. At age 75, Enos Mills remembers that he was 18 when he went to Iowa on foot, and engaged in freighting with ox teams. Many of the Lambs were already there.

They moved to Linn County, Kansas, in 1857. Reuben was an active abolitionist and was on the list for killing by the Bushwhackers. He was a preacher and was well known in every log cabin home. Of his eight children, those living there being Mary Lamb Mills, Esau, Lydia, Louisa who married Bolivar Holmes, Isaac and Josiah E.

Reuben died 20 September 1862, at about the time that so many of Josiah�s family died; Catherine died age 76, 9mo, 3da, on 10 December 1889, both buried "Lamb/Mills Cemetery", Linn County, Kansas.

William Lamb. His parents, Josiah and Naomi Lamb were received at Whitewater Monthly Meeting, Indiana, on 26 March 1814, but there is no mention of a son named William. This might indicate that he was born in Indiana. The truth cannot be proved by later census reports because William was extremely inconsistent in the information he supplied to census takers.

At any rate, he was born 1813/4, in either Ohio or Indiana. (He might be the William Lamb who married Mary Ann Fryer on 17 April 1833 in Randolph County, Indiana.)

He was married 15 October 1837 in Dark, Ohio, to Arminta Tatt, born in 1821.

He is found in the 1850 Census of Lee County, Iowa. The Iowa State Census of 1856 names him as resident of the state for 17 years, he must be the William Lamb listed in Half-breed Reservation, Lee County, in the Federal Census for 1840.

The Linn County courthouse was situated in 1857 at Paris, Indian Territory. Here, on March 31, William Lamb recorded his purchase of Lot 4, Block 22. This may be the same property that William and Araminta deeded to Mt. Bethel M. E. Church on 21 March 1863.

It appears that William was again the pathfinder who preceded his brothers into a new territory. In 1859, he homesteaded a quarter section of land, which he deeded to his son Reuben, in 1865.

William Lamb and wife joined their son David, in Saline County, Nebraska, and were still there for the 1870 Census, and the 1880 Census for Springbrook, Harlan County, Nebraska.

Arminta died in 1889; William died in 1892, in Swan Creek, Saline County, Nebraska.

Josiah G Lamb, son of Josiah Lamb and Naomi Underhill, was born in 1817 in Wayne County, Indiana.

He was married/1 17 August 1837, St. Joseph County, Indiana, to Mary Van Winkle. The family accompanied brothers Esau and Reuben to Dallas County, Iowa, later moving to Linn County, Kansas, in 1857. Mary died 3 April 1859, one of the first to die in Linn County.

He was married again 29 November 1859 in Bates County, Missouri, to Elizabeth Campbell. He sold his homestead to his nephews, Josiah and Aaron, and disappeared from Linn County after the 1860 Census. They may have returned to Dallas County, Iowa. Their son, Reuben, recorded Redfield, Dallas County, as his home address when he enlisted during the Civil War. Josiah died 22 September 1899, in Jefferson County, Kansas

Hezekiah Lamb, son of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall. A full account of this family is given in the front of this book, Part I.

Josiah Lamb, son of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall, was born 31 March 1817, in Wayne County, Indiana.

He was married 12 October 1836 in Grant County Indiana, to his first cousin #F-642. Ruth Lamb, born 18 August 1821, daughter of Jonathan Lamb and Prudence Hockett, and was dismissed (and reinstated) from the Society of Friends, because they were 1st cousins. Ruth was a Quaker minister. The Grant County Marriage Book 4, C22, gives the date of license as 21 September. They were married 12 October, in Grant County.

We find him next in the 1850 Census of Monroe Township, Howard County, Indiana, listed as Inventor. A check with the U. S. Patent Office disclosed that he had received on Previous January 29th, Patent #7055 - Improvement in Self-Waiting Table. This apparently was a dining table with dumb-waiter and Lazy Susan, and was no doubt a convenience in feeding his brood. He was an expert millwright.

In 1857, Free Staters were pouring into the eastern counties of "Bleeding Kansas" from all of the northern States. It was natural that the Lambs, with their Quaker background, would rush to join them. It is significant that the older members should look to young Josiah for lead16 September 1862ership. Enos Mills recalled that eight families arrived in Linn County on 6th June 1857. Miles Lamb claimed that he walked the 300 miles in eight days. Since it is tradition that the Lamb, Morris, and Mills families traveled to Linn County in a wagon caravan, with all of their worldly goods and livestock, it must have been quite a sight. Reference to the 1860 Census would indicate that they numbered more than fifty souls. Certainly, it provided a nice bloc of votes the following June when Josiah ran for, and won, a seat to the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention. It is said that he proposed that Mound City be the State Capitol.

From the History of Linn County, Kansas, we read:
"He served as a delegate from Linn County Kansas, to the Wyandotte Convention, which framed the constitution of the State of Kansas in 1859. He was one of those forceful but unpretentious and modest characters who deserved a much better tribute than they will ever get because of the passing away of nearly all who knew him."

The "Lamb/Mills Cemetery" was established in Linn County, Kansas, in 1857, two miles south and two east of the present town of Pleasanton. It is of historical interest, as it contains the remains of a great many of the original immigrants, including the Mills family. Here will be found a monument to "Josiah Lamb, member of Wyandotte Constitutional Convention and of the First State Legislature 1860-1861"

There is a stone, lettered on four sides, that marks the graves of Josiah, who died 11 August 1862, his wife Ruth who died 16 September 1862, and two of his children on 30 August 1862. There is another stone for daughter Ester, who died about the same time. His uncle Reuben died just 4 days after Ruth. Without knowing the causes of their deaths, we can understand how tragic it was. His son Miles was buried close by, in the Battlefield Cemetery of Pleasanton, Linn County.

For a detailed description of the "Lamb/Mills Cemetery" including numerous pictures of grave stones, please see "Lamb/Mills Cemetery".

They lived in Grant County, until after their third child was born. It appears that Lucy and Emily died before they moved to New London, Howard County, Indiana, in the spring of 1842, where all the others were born.

Miriam died 9 August 1869, and Snead died 27 November 1876; both buried at Honey Creek Monthly Meeting, Howard County Indiana.

Jehu Lamb, son of John Lamb and Lydia Mendenhall, was born 28 May 1822 in Wayne County, Indiana.

He was married in 1844, to Mary Ann Dille, who was born 27 August 1825, in Dille, Ohio, daughter of Ichabod William Dille and Mary Cain.

They moved from Howard County, Indiana, to Dallas County, Iowa between 1852 and 1855. The 1860 Census found them in still in Dallas County. On 18 February 1865, he bought 190 acres in Warren County, Iowa, Palmyra Twp, for which he paid $5,000.

Mary Ann died in 1887, Iowa, Jehu was a Quaker minister at Middle River Church near Carlyle, Warren County, Iowa, where she was buried.

He was married/2 on 25 March 1890, in Iowa, to Nancy Ann Adams, or Bates who was born January 1841, in Highland County, Ohio.

According to a letter written in Troy, Kansas, 23 May 1892, by Jehu, to his family (William & Ida Anderson) in Clarkson, Iowa, he intended to marry Mrs. Nancy Ellen Luethen, who said that she hoped to be a better woman than the "other Nancy." In March 1894, he appeared to be visiting in Fairbury, Nebraska, when he wrote his daughter that he intended to visit "Uncle Josiah at Meridan, Kansas."

In September 1895, he wrote from Honey Creek, and in October 1895 he wrote a letter from Troy, Kansas, in each, giving instructions to his family about his farm and business back home, and saying that he was preaching along the way. In June 1897, he was apparently located in Lowry City, Missouri.

Jehu died 19 February 1902 of paralysis, in Carlisle, Warren County, Iowa, and was buried in the Friends Middle River Cemetery, also.

She died 29 October 1914, in Jefferson County, Nebraska, buried in Fairbury Cemetery.

Elkanah J Lamb, son of Esau Lamb and Elizabeth Moon, was born 1 January 1832, in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

He was married/1 24 August 1853, in Dallas County, Iowa, to Welta Jane �Hattie� Lamb, who was born 8 August 1836 in Ohio.

Several Lamb families moved west from Indiana, to Madison County Iowa, then Dallas County, Iowa. Elkanah and Welta Jane are found in the 1856 Iowa State Census in Union township.

In 1860 Elkanah went with the Mills family, from Leavenworth, Kansas, up the Platte River, to the Rocky Mountains.

Hattie died August 1868. One month later he was married/2 on 29 September 1868,in Saline County, Nebraska, to Jemima Jane Spencer. She was born 4 September 1829 in Pennsylvania.

On the 1870 Census, Elkanah is on the Census of Saline County, Nebraska, and his parents are living with him, his father feeble. His father died 1883; his mother died 1887 there.

He was called into ministry in 1871 in Colorado, where he preached a circuit from town to town.

His family was left behind in Kansas. He climbed Pike's Peak on this mission trip. Returning home the following year. In the spring of 1872 he was assigned the Nebraska Territory as a mission field.

Beginning in 1875, he settled his family in Estes Park, at the foot of Long�s Peak, where he owned land.

Elkanah died 8 April 1915; Jemima died 7 September 1917, both in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado.

His words, from "Memories of the Past and Thoughts of the Future" by Elkanah J. Lamb 1905

"In the year 1878, we went up to Estes Park, near historic Long's Peak, locating on a claim in three miles of timber-line, at an altitude of 9,000 feet above sea-level. This location would seem to indicate more tangible and swifter strides towards heaven than small salaries, partly paid in promises and hubbard squashes. But this was all the poor people could do under such pestiferous, hoppery circumstances.

"Well, I had sufficient credit to borrow two hundred dollars, with which I brought some cows and calves, going into the dairy business.

"Then, in connection with dairying, we entertained parties ascending the Peak and guided pilgrims to the summit for $5 per trip. If they would not pay for spiritual guidance, I compelled them to divide for material elevation.

"In a few years we bettered our financial condition very much, but when we moved up to this mountain home it surely looked forbidding, it being thirty-five miles from post-office to store, and having to borrow a team with which to move $5 worth of provisions all told, with three dollars' worth of shekels.

"These meager assets comprised our material stock. In view of these cold limitations, my sister was excusable for threatening to send the sheriff up to arrest me of insanity.

But, with a love for my evergreen surroundings, pure air, and streams of crystal waters on nature's part, a small volume of ambition and a quantity of determination, faith in self, and, above all, faith in God's power and promises on our part, bridged over the seemingly impossible difficulties. The mountains, for us, have proved to be an asylum of health, pleasure, and plenty for the past twenty-eight years."

He died 8 April 1915 in Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado

Obituary:
"PIONEER MINISTER IS CALLED TO HIS REWARD, Fort Collins Express, Thursday, April 8, 1915.

"Rev. E.J. Lamb Succumbs to Paralysis at Ripe Age of Four Score and Three Years.

"Rev. E.J. Lamb, for the past forty years one of the bestknown and most beloved residents of Northern Colorado, passed away shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning at 207 Whebee Street where he and his wife had recently taken up their residence. His death followed a few weeks of intermittent illness, which were caused by a stroke of paralysis recently suffered at his home in Estes Park.

"Definite announcement of the date of the funeral will be made shortly, but it is quite probable that the service will be held in this city on Sunday afternoon and that pastors of all demonications will unite in paying their last tribute to the memory of Rev. Lamb.

"The deceased is survived by his widow and a number of sons, most of whom are located in Oregon and California. His grandsons, sons of Mrs. A.E. McMillan, who are located in Iowa, are also being notified of the death of their grandfather and may come to this city for the funeral.

"Rev. Lamb was born in Wayne County, Indiana, on January 1, 1932, and celebrated his eighty-third birthday last New Years day. In his earlier years he farmed in Iowa and Nebraska, going to those states during the earlier days of thier settlement.

"In 1871, he was called to the ministry, being ordained a minister in the United Brethren Church, and shortly thereafter came to Colorado, being assigned to this section of the state by the home missionary board of this church.

"Rev. Lamb was a true pioneer in every sense of the word. Coming here to preach the gospel in what was then raw, frontier country, he traveled thru this section of the state, conducting preaching services where it was possible and giving freely of his time in caring for the sick and ministering to the dying

There are few of the earlier families of Northern Colorado and particulary those of the Thompson and St. Vrain Valleys, that do not treasure the memories of his visits.

Enos Abijah says:
    "I was born in Wayne County, Indiana, near the town of Richmond, of Quaker parents. I moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana, 1835 where I lived until I was 18 years old, and helped to make a farm in that densely timbered. Went to the state of Iowa in 1850, afoot there were no railroads further west than Peru, Illinois, 90 miles west of Chicago, crossed the Mississippi at Rock Island and Iowa City, which was then the capital of Iowa; went to Dallas County, 50 miles west of Fort Des Moines, and engaged in freighting with ox teams from Keokuk.�

�We left for Kansas on the first of May, 1857. Eight families arrived in Linn County on the 6th day of June, 1857, where we have resided ever since. We came for the avowed purpose of helping to make Kansas a free state; how we succeeded is long since a matter of history. Here, on the border of Missouri, our trouble began. Frequent raids from Missouri border ruffians, killed our neighbors. For seven long years we remained as a picket post.�

Frequent raids from Missouri border ruffians, killed our neighbors. For seven long years we remained as a picket post.�

Before his death 17 February 1910, at age 75, Enos Mills wrote for the newspaper in Linn County, Kansas.

"In 1860, my brother Enock, my cousin, Rev. E. J. Lamb, my wife and self took Pikes Peak fever and left on 14 April 1860. Went up the Republican River to Military Road from Leavenworth to Carney; followed the Platte 500 miles to Denver. Stopped at Tarryall in South Park. Mrs. Mills was the first white woman ever to cross the range west of Tarryall. Took mining claim #2 above Bisooney."

�There were hundreds of Souix Indians on the road, but we were not molested. Saw a war dance in the streets of Denver, by the Indians. We stopped at the town Tarryall in South Park and did some placer mining for a short time and then crossed over the range where Breckenridge now stand on the Blue River. There was just one house in Breckenridge, one barrel of whiskey, 25 cents per drink. Mrs. Mills had the distinction of being the first white woman that ever crossed the range west of Tarryall. we took a mining claim No. 2, above Bisooney. It did not pan out right so I abandoned mining, I then took one of my mules and a pack saddle, loaded him with meat at the mouth Gulch and peddled meat to the miners. I soon quit the meat business and stopped for a short time in a meat market where gold dust was legal tender. I was then taken down with the mountain fever, crossed the range on the 8th day of July with snow in places 15 feet deep. Mrs. Mills driving the mules as I was not able to sit up. Three days landed us in the plains to Eastern Kansas a trip of 700 miles with Indians in plenty for the first 500 miles, camping all alone."

Six weeks after Enos wrote the above account he died and was buried in the "Lamb/Mills Cemetery".

11. Enoch Joseph Mills, born 1879, died 3 October 1935; married Ethel M. Steere in May 1910

In 1859, at the age of 14, Enos Mills Jr. went to Colorado for the first time, arriving at the Longs Peak area (Estes Park). He had a large view of the future. He eventually became Colorado Snow Observer, and was appointed Government Lexturer on Forestry by President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1909 he proposed the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park. As a result of the publicity and political pressure developed by Mills, the government began to study the area. Mills fulfilled many speaking engagements, wrote many articles, and worked vigorously to gain support.

He had a fiery temper, often antagonized his own supporters if they did not fully agree with him and was unwilling to recognize that compromise was necessary. The park bill was signed by President Wilson in 1915.

At the dedication ceremony, Enos Mills opened it, just as a rain began. As the program continued the rain stopped, the clouds parted, the sun emerged, and Longs Peak, resplendent in a new coat of snow - came into view. Somehow it seemed symbolic.

At one time he owned Long�s Peak Inn, in Estes Park. Twenty four years later, Enos Mills, Jr., age 14 succumbed to this same call of the Rockies.

Addie came to Arizona from Illinois to live with, and work for her older brother William and his wife. She helped with the housework for her room and board.

The first time Addie saw Ed, she said, "He was in his coveralls, with that small railroader�s cap cocked over on one side of his head. I knew right then and there that I wouldn�t be happy until we were married. I set my cap for him, and, even though he was shy, I got him."

Thelma, valedictorian of her high school class, was "little mother" to the younger children. All of the girls doted on their long awaited baby brother, born on his father�s birthday, and joy of the family. As a teenager, Ed would spend his summers in Thelma�s home, being the favorite playmate of Thelma�s daughter Wilma.

After the family was grown, Ed and Addie left Arizona and moved to Riverbank, California, where their daughter, Thelma, was living. They also lived in Richmond and after his retirement, they moved to San Juan Bautista, where he bought a little newspaper weekly, which their son Ed later bought from them.
