Part I - Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small
Family Group "O"
Ellsworth Lamb, son of Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small, was born 19 November 1861, near Redfield, Dallas County, Iowa. He was married 13 June 1884, in Wymore, Nebraska, to Angeline Glenn, who was born 14 May 1866, in Missouri, the daughter of Jesse Vinson Glenn and Sarah Johnson. (See: Glenn Family, Part I)
Angeline suffered with tuberculosis, and died with it, 22 April 1901. In the next few years, the three oldest children, also, died with it. Ellsworth was a good man who raised his children alone. He died 29 March 1941, in Jewell County, Kansas. These five, and Lula, are buried in Highland Cemetery, North of Esbon, Jewell County, Kansas. All of the children were born in Jewell County.
Note: Angline's death year is confusing as it is the same year that her last child was born. The picture above shows the youngest as more that 15 days old. However, pictures of gravestones for both Angeline and Lucy confirm that Lucy was born in 1901 and Angeline died in 1901.
