General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Lamkin
From early boyhood he was a lover of horses, and during his life he cultivated that taste, thus acquiring much knowledge of the subject, which rendered him not only an expert in the care of horses, but also a very competent judge of horseflesh. Having this love of horses, he naturally spent his early life in owning and conducting a stage route from Ithaca to Trumansburg and Havana. During that time the stage was the only conveyance of travel used in that section.
In 1862 he enlisted in the Union Army, joining Company K, 21st Reg. N. Y. Cavalry, won for himself a great record by his bravery, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war. Having friends successfully engaged at Sheffield, Warren County, Pennsylvania, at the close of the war in 1865, he went there also, and conducted the large tannery boarding-house, which was then located where Mrs. Walter Horton's residence was later situated. After conducting that very successfully for a period of eight years, his lease expired, and he changed his location, leasing the Lee House, where he conducted a first-class, strictly temperance hotel for ten years. He then retired from active business pursuits. A very peculiar accident deprived him of life. On November 30, 1896, he went to his bathroom to bathe, and, through mistake, turned on the gas and was suffocated.
He was a member of the G. A. R., and an active member of the M. E. Church.
