Part I - Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small
Family Group "L"

Hale Hezekiah Lamb
and
Mary Kelsay

Hale Hezekiah Lamb, son of Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small, was born 13 August 1854, in Fayette County, Iowa. Soon after his birth, his parents moved to Dallas County, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. He was married 24 December 1874, in Fremont County, Iowa, to Mary "Mollie" Kelsay. She was born 14 October 1858, in Benton township, Fremont County, daughter of William Kelsay and Mary Ann Edgerton. (See: Kelsay Family and Edgerton Family in Part V).

Hale was a miller and a farmer. Their five oldest children were born in Fremont County. Their son, Clyde, died and was buried there. In the spring of 1885, they located near Guide Rock, Nebraska, where he worked awhile for the railroad. Four more children were born here, and again they lost a son, Leonard, and buried him in Guide Rock.

In the spring of 1892, they moved to Jewell County, Kansas, 1 1/2 mile west of Northbranch, on a farm that belonged to an uncle of Mollie�s, Zel Edgerton. Three of the children were born here.

In the fall of 1900, they moved onto the farm of his mother�s. His brother, Luna Albert Lamb, had been living there, but after he was married, he moved to Ford County, Kansas, which left his mother alone. The farm was now to become Hale's, for taking care of his aged mother the rest of her days.

When Hale and Mollie moved on to the place they built a house for their own family, and later when Hannah had died, they used the lumber from her house to add on to theirs. They finished raising their family here.

Daughter Maud was married and had two children before Mollie�s youngest child was born.

Three of their daughters moved to California. None of them ever had an opportunity to see their parents again, or return for a visit to their old home.

When Fae was a young woman, her older sisters pleaded with her to come out to California, but Mary refused to let her go, she had lost enough daughters. This left them with a son and their three youngest daughters at home. The girls adored their big brother.

Home in Jewell County

Hale particularly delighted in his grandchildren. Those of his daughter Maud lived nearby, until they moved to Minneapolis, Kansas. Rufus, Iva, Elsie and Olive lived close to them. He loved it when Fae would gather up nieces and nephews and bring them home.

In the spring of 1930, Hale and Mary moved into Northbranch, to a nice house that was located across the street from the Quaker Cemetery.

Mollie died unexpectedly, of a stroke, on 7 September 1932. The demands of taking care of Hale through his last illness had been a strain on her. Six weeks later, Hale died of liver cancer on 26 October 1932. Both died in Northbranch. Both were buried in Guide Rock, Nebraska, beside their son Leonard.
