General Notes: Husband - Alfred Lamb

---

He was living retired at Pleasantville, PA, in 1918, and was a lifelong resident of that portion of Venango County, and like his father was a strong force in its social and mate­rial progress. Born on the home farm in Allegheny Township, Venango County, he was reared there, educated in the local schools, and acquired his early business training in association with his father, whose inter­ests were so varied and extensive as to af­ford unusual opportunity for the development of his judgment and reliability. He continued to live on the farm throughout his active years, and kept his interests there and in the im­mediate neighborhood, carrying on general agriculture in the cultivation of the land and making extensive oil developments on the home place as well as on an adjoining tract which he acquired by purchase. The property was kept in trim and attractive condition by judicious improvements in all lines, the old brick house erected by his father was replaced with a modern frame residence, and numerous minor changes added to the value and desira­bility of the old farm. When he left the place to give up active cares on account of his advancing years, Mr. Lamb moved into the borough of Pleasantville, where he has since occupied the fine home erected by his brother-in-law, Samuel Queen Brown, in about 1867. There he led a comparatively quiet life, with no business responsibilities except such as he chose to assume. A man of substantial character and prompt in attending to all his obligations, he was always a good citi­zen as well as a competent business man, mind­ful of his duties in every relation of life. [CAB, 545]
He and his wife had no children of their own.
