family was murdered by persons unknown on Cold Spring Mountain. Joe remembers that Mr.
Johnson's head was cut off. It was found frozen on the chopping block. They are not
related to the Lambs, but the Rev. Nathan Winfield Scott Lamb true to his nature, looked
to help his fellow man in life and death. Read the newspaper article on the murders. |
