General Notes: Husband - Samuel Lambert


He remained on the home farm until he was nineteen years of age, when he started for the West, making his way on foot to Detroit, Michigan, where he engaged in lumbering. The Indians were then very numerous in that state, but were usually very friendly with the white settlers. At one time Mr. Lambert accompanied some of them on a fishing trip, when becoming offended with him, they tried to drown him by upsetting the canoe. However, he swam to shore, almost a mile distant. In his western home he had with him a companion, Frederick Burns, of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, and they remained in Michigan until 1848, when Mr. Lambert took up his residence on Clearfield creek, working for Thomas Ralston in the lumber woods.
Entering into partnership with his father-in-law, he continued logging and handling square timber at Clearfield Bridge. Subsequently he cleared a farm about a mile up the creek, and purchasing a large tract of timber land from William Irvin, continued in the lumber business until 1875, when he retired, devoting his attention exclusively to the farm.
