General Notes: Husband - Robert Clark Lamberton

---

He was educated in the public schools and in Prof. Frank Gillellen's academy at Greason. His school days ended in March, 1861. As his father was county surveyor, and a practitioner of wide repute, he was away from home about half his time, and during his absence the duties of the farm devolved upon the son. Robert Lamberton consequently bore the cares and responsibilities of a fullgrown man from the time he was fourteen years of age.
During the Civil war he enlisted as a recruit in Company G, 84th Regiment, P. V. I., and rose to the rank of captain, by which title he was familiarly known to all his friends and acquaintances.
After the war he had charge of the ancestral farm until the spring of 1874. Soon after his return to his home he was elected justice of the peace, succeeding his father in the title of "Squire." Later he was also elected school director, and continued to fill both offices while he remained in the township. In the spring of 1874 he and John Elliott entered the clothing, boot and shoe business, on North Hanover street, Carlisle, under the firm name of Elliott & Lamberton. In 1876 Mr. Elliott withdrew and went to the West, and the business was continued by Mr. Lamberton. About this time he was appointed county surveyor, to fill a vacancy caused by resignation. Subsequently he was elected to the position and held it until 1878, when he resigned, sold out his business and also removed to the West. He settled at Humboldt, Nebraska, where he engaged in business and resided until 1890 when he returned to his former home in Carlisle with health seriously impaired. In May, 1893, he was employed by the lumber firm of H. G. Beetem & Co., as secretary, and continued as such until that firm became merged into the Beetem Lumber & Manufacturing Company. He was then made secretary and treasurer of the new organization, which position he filled until the day of his death. He died of bronchial catarrh, a disease against which he struggled bravely and patiently for many years.
He was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Carlisle.
