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

Luna Albert Lamb
and
Maud Nemaha Wilson

Luna Albert Lamb, the youngest surviving child of Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small, was born 29 December 1863, in Dallas County, Iowa, a birthright Quaker. In 1895, he and his cousin, Mahlon Lamb, were licensed to preach in the Wesleyan Church.

He was married the year after his father died, on 29 January 1898, to Maud Nemaha Wilson. He was 34, and she was 18. He was considered an eligible bachelor, but rather a "Man about town," when he fell in love with Maud. Her parents were, understandably, dubious about the match, and would not give them permission to be married. Determined, they had to wait until Maud had her 18th birthday, and came of age.

Maud was born 5 January 1880, in Burr Oak, Jewell County, Kansas, the oldest child of Joseph Franklin Wilson and Mary Marcelia Hogle. (See: Hogle Family Part VI). Their farm was about a mile away from the Lamb place near Northbranch, Kansas.

The young couple moved into the home of widow Hannah, and celebrated the birth of two baby boys. In the winter of 1900-1, L. A. decided that he wanted to buy land in Ford County in southwest Kansas, near a new settlement, "Ford City," built at the site where a well-used ford crossed the Arkansas River. A cousin, Reuben Small, had been doing surveying there, and no doubt recommended it to him. He said later that it was the smartest move he had ever made. He settled 1/2 mile east of town. Eight more children were born to them. L. A. always said that he wanted 12 children, but after Maud had ten, she declared that was enough!

Collis remembered a time when a great blizzard came up during school hours. L. A. came after the three older children, who were in school, tied them together with a rope, and led them back home down the railroad track, which ran past their place.

And there was the time, that Maud decided that she needed a cellar. Apparently, L. A. wasn’t available, or unwilling to help, so she put the oldest boys to work digging it by hand.

Once, at Christmas, the three oldest boys were told that Santa had left their presents in the barn loft. When they went out, they found bicycles! When their sister, Alice, begged to be allowed to ride the bikes, she was given permission only if she would take the owner up the hill toward school. Later on, in a bicycle race, Alice was able to beat out her brothers, due, no doubt, to her excellent conditioning.

Later, L. A. established a general store in town, and he built a large house on the west edge of town. Later though, they sold it and moved back to the country. After a while they moved back to town, into a house where he had a barn and pasture behind, and could keep his livestock. One year, a twister had nearly destroyed the house in the country, leaving only two rooms of it. He moved this into town and set it up close to their house. Maud used it for a sewing room, and washhouse, and extra space.

The store prospered, and the times were good. When cars came out, he had one of the first, with a new one every year, and this was a thrill to the young men of the family. Once, Collis took out a new car for a spin, and ran into and killed a cow, wrecking the car. On another occasion, Paul had driven into the country and got the new car stuck in a stream, and had to walk back to town.

L. A. kept a well-equipped carpenter’s shop, and black-smithy. He had the blacksmith tools that had belonged to his father. He was an amateur inventor, sometimes to the amusement of his family. Long before the days of "flying saucers," in the 1920’s and 1930’s, he made model airplanes. One of them was saucer shaped, and operated like a helicopter, hovering and moving up and down. He made a platform rocking chair, that everyone appreciated a little more.

Maud was the typical housewife of the day, raising a big family, gardening, keeping chickens, separating milk, sewing, and working in the store. She kept a cookie jar full of extra large sugar cookies, and ginger cookies, which this granddaughter remembers fondly. Her "button box" and the great pile of empty sewing-thread spools that she saved for us children are some of my earliest memories. It was a great treat for me to stay overnight, and be allowed to play with a set of tin toy dishes and cookware. When I was there, I avoided the barn yard. It seems there was always a mean old rooster, that terrified me by jumping on my back.

One of the family’s favorite dishes was chicken simmered in pure cream. All of the family agreed that Maud made the best angel food cake, and she made it without cake flour! Each daughter and daughter-in-law had been given her "receit," but none could make it quite like mama.

She made quilts for all of her children, and one for each of her grandchildren. The one she made for me was the "Flower Garden," made with pieces left over from all the print dresses I had worn as a little girl.

Grandmother was a natural worrier. She had no great tragedies in her life. All of her children were doing well; none had caused her any serious trouble. But she had to stew about everything. Then someone would be sure to say, "Now, Mama!"

When grandchildren were born locally, she was sure to be there, and help old Dr. Coffman bring them into the world. She was always sure that I was going to catch pneumonia, because I didn’t wear long cotton stockings to school. For awhile, in deference to her, my mother made me wear them in the winter. But just as soon as I was a half-block away from home, I would roll them down to below the knee.

After the death of Maud’s mother, her father, Frank Wilson, came to live with them until his death. He was a trim, neat little man, with upright posture and snow white hair. Instead of coffee, he drank hot water.

Holidays were special times for the clan to gather. At Christmas time, Collis was in charge of supplying the Christmas candy. What a thrill it was for the grandchildren, when we were finally big enough to sit at the big table.

Then after the meal, all the men would sit around and discuss world affairs. Politics and religion came to be forbidden subjects. Every one would get into such arguments. To grandmother, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was "that man in the White House." Each grown-up had their own opinion on everything, and none were timid about airing it. It was said that "the Lambs were born to argue." When I took debate in high school, I had the family’s complete approval.

Maud died 22 January 1944, and after their son, Harry, was discharged from the Army after World War II, he and his wife came to live with his father. Perhaps L. A. remembered the arrangement that he had once had with his mother; Harry was to inherit the house and farm for taking care of his father in his last days. L. A. died very suddenly 11 September 1946, in Ford. He and Maud are both buried in the Ford Cemetery, which lies in the section of ground that they farmed, just east of town.

THIRD GENERATION

P-1. Paul H Lamb

Paul H Lamb, Sr, son of Luna Albert Lamb and Maud Wilson, was born 23 November 1898, near Northbranch, Jewell County, Kansas. Paul developed diabetes when he was in high school. This was about the time that insulin was discovered, and it saved his life.

He was married 12 February 1919 at Chenney in Sedgewick County, Kansas, to Rosa Ann (Jo) Lohner. She was born 4 February 1896, Prague (near Wilzetta), Lincoln County, Oklahoma, daughter of Conrad Fredrick Lohner and Martha Elizabeth Shockley.

A story in the family tells the great lengths Jo went to change the date of her birth, to make herself 2 years younger than her husband. Their marriage certificate says she was 20, instead of 22. She went so far as to change her diary, This even caused confusion about a sister’s age. Her immediate family did not know of this, until son Jack began to do a family history. Paul never did know.

Paul was raised in Ford, Kansas, and raised his family there. His was a pharmacist, and proprietor of a drug store. Jo died 28 March 1947, when they lived in Peabody, Kansas, and was buried in Cheney, Kansas.

Paul was married again 31 December 1951 to Ruth Fowler, widow, and resided in Simla and Greely, Colorado. He died 18 September 1968 when they lived in Denver, Colorado.

Although he had several amputations, every year of his life he set a record for having survived diabetes the longest. He was buried beside Jo in Cheney, Kansas.

Ruth died the 15th or 16th of August 1986, probably in Denver, Colorado. She was buried in Ford, Kansas, 18 August 1986.

P-2.Collis Perry Lamb

Collis Perry Lamb, son of Luna Albert Lamb and Maud Nemaha Wilson, was born 27 July 1900, near Northbranch, Jewell County, Kansas. When he was six months old, he moved with his family by covered wagon, to Ford, Ford County, Kansas, where he was raised. He attended college on a scholarship to Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas.

He was married 1 August 1924, to L-10 Leila Fae Lamb. Because they were first cousins and could not be married in the State of Kansas, they drove to LaJunta, Colorado, to have the marriage ceremony performed. Fae was born 17 April 1899, near Northbranch, Kansas, daughter of Hale Hezekiah Lamb and Mary Kelsay (See: Family Group L, Part I)

The young couple set up housekeeping in Ford, where C. P. went into partnership in a local meat market. In April 1927, he opened his own grocery and meat market on Main Street in Bucklin, Kansas, (9 miles east).

They lived in this Bucklin home until their death. Fae could often be seen working in the yard and always had a variety of flowers. This painting was done by Billie Lee.

Newspaper Article from April 21, 1927

ANDERSON & SON SELL MARKET

A deal was closed this week whereby C. P. Lamb of Ford became the owner of Anderson & Son’s Meat Market, the former taking charge Monday.

The market has been conducted a number of years by C. L. Anderson and the past few years with the assistance of his son, Fred. During this time they have given fair and courteous service to their many customers and have made many friends who will regret to know they are leaving the business circles of Bucklin.

The senior member of the firm has not fully decided on his future plans, but Fred will assist the new management for a few months at least.

Mr. Lamb is an experienced meat market man, having been engaged in this business at Ford until about a year ago. He is moving his family here this week and will occupy the Walkins property in the northeast part of town.

In those early days of business there was no refrigeration as we know it now. At Ford the meat case was cooled by ice. When ice was needed, C. P. would drive at 3 am to a Dodge City ice plant that stayed open 24 hours a day, and buy about eight 300-pound cakes of ice. At Bucklin the walk-in box was cooled by a refrigeration unit in the basement which used ammonia gas that proved very dangerous. On two occasions escaping ammonia gas literally drove them from the building. Since there was no service company to call when equipment broke down, he fixed it himself. He was the first in the community to install air conditioning.

He always did his own butchering and took great pride in the speed in which he could do it, and the quality of the meat which he sold. He bought his first movie camera, in the early 1930’s, when they first became available for home use. One of the things that he put on film, was of him butchering a cow. From the time that the shot was fired to kill the animal, he had the job done in 19 minutes. We children thought it was hilarious, when he would run that film backwards, which made it appear that he sewed the animal back up with his knife.

In those days the work of butchering meat was done in an open pasture in the fresh air, and nearly always on Sunday, when he wasn’t tied up at the store. It was a great annoyance to him, when government regulations made him do the work inside a building, which he didn’t think was nearly so sanitary.

During the 1930’s, the years of the "great depression," his love for his neighbor showed itself in the way he furnished them groceries for long periods of time without payment. For many it was the difference between survival and "going broke."

In those days, Saturday was the day that the farm families came to town to sell their eggs and cream, and do their trading, see the picture show, and visit on Main Street. C. P. was very often open until midnight on Saturday. I can remember that as a little tot, I would get so sleepy, that I would find an empty shelf, crawl in, and go to sleep.


For the two daughters of the family, clerking in the store was our first work experience. When I was in high school, during the summer I made $5.00 a week, and thought I was quite well paid. There was no self-service here. A customer would come in, and we would write down the order, then assemble it at the counter. Many of the housewives ordered by telephone, and their groceries were delivered to them in a pick-up that went out twice a day.

Peanut butter came in barrels, and it was not homogenized like it is today. It separated from the oil, and dried out easily. We sold it by scooping it into paper meat trays. Cookies came in large square boxes, with cellophane windows: people would order a few of this, a little of that. Coffee came in beans, which were ground at the time of sale. "Faultless Starch" provided what might have been the first comic book. They were about 3" x 5", 10-12 pages of illustrated children’s stories, and one was given free with each box of starch sold. When oleo first came on the market, it was white, in pound blocks. For many years, C. P. provided a creamery service. We bought cream from the farmers. Fairmont Creamery of Dodge City would pick it up.

C. P. took an interest in sleight-of-hand, and card tricks. Even though he never would cheat at cards, Fae got so she wouldn’t play with him, she thought he was winning just too much. C. P. was an expert checker player. During the afternoon lull, he and a group of other merchants, would take a break, and keep an on-going checker competition going. In the years after he retired, the local domino and pool hall was a gathering place for old cronies, although he preferred a private game of dominoes.

In the thirties and forties, he kept a croquet court in the back yard of our home. The whole neighborhood enjoyed it. His idea of gardening was to raise prize dahlias. Fae kept many flowers. She did the lawn mowing, because he tended to cut too many things down.

During World War II, scarcity of help, food shortages, and rationing were problems he had to deal with. He moved into a larger building and went to self-service. During this time, and others, Fae helped out by working in the store. In the 1950’s, C. P. became a member of Associated Grocers, Inc.

In February 1961, he sold the business to Richard and Kelsay Foust, and finally had more time for his other interests - playing golf, traveling, and flying. C. P. started flying in 1962, and at the age of 62, he soloed a Cessna 172. He was part owner of several airplanes. He owned a few acres of pasture land, on the east of Bucklin. He liked to go out there and putter around the barn, fixing fence, killing weeds, checking cattle.

In February 1980, as a result of diabetes, C. P. entered Bucklin Hospital, and was there 153 days, enduring two amputations on his right foot, after which he had to consent to the amputation of his lower leg in Wichita. His goal was to solo in his "Champ" airplane on his 80th birthday in the summer of that year. Although he was not able to solo, he flew it extensively the afternoon of his birthday.


A 50-year member of the Lions Club, he had a perfect attendance for 50 years, and was secretary and/or treasurer on and off for a total of 14 years. He was a member of the City Council; a 54 year member of Grand View Lodge, Past Master, and was secretary-treasurer over 32 years; Dodge City Council-Royal and Select Masters; and Dodge City Commandery Knights Templer.




C. P. and Fae served in many capacities as members of the United Methodist Church. C. P. had been treasurer, steward, and a member of the Administrative Board. He died 20 February 1983, in the hospital in Dodge City. Fae had been primary Sunday School Superintendent, a member of the Administrative Board, and United Methodist Women.

Although her health was failing, Fae continued to live alone, even mowing her own lawn, until the last couple of years, when she had a pacemaker. She took sick suddenly, 27 June 1988, and died just as the ambulance reached the hospital in Dodge City. Both are buried in the Bucklin Cemetery.

P-6.Mamie Lamb

Mamie Lamb, daughter of Luna Albert Lamb and Maud Nemaha Wilson, was born 9 April 1909, in Ford, Ford County, Kansas. She was married on St. Valentine’s Day, 14 February 1929, in Dodge City, Kansas, to Courtney Wayne Hartshorn, who was born 6 February 1902, son of Harry Lloyd Hartshorn and Treva Estella McQuillion. (See: Hartshorn Family in Part I) Courtney was a farmer, and raised registered Black Angus cattle. They lived awhile near Ford, near Syracuse, Kansas, and near Bucklin, Kansas.

P-13 Jack Fredrick Lamb

Billie Lee Lamb, Jack Lamb, Lena Maude Lamb

Jack Fredrick Lamb, son of Paul H Lamb and Rosa Ann (Jo) Lohner, was born 23 February 1933 in Ford, Kansas. In 1951, Jack was the last with the Lamb name to graduate from Ford, Kansas High School; his father, Paul, was the first Lamb to graduate in 1917.  He met Joan Ann D’Ambrosia on a blind date in Boston, and proposed on the second date. Eight months later, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 6 December 1953, they were married. Joan was born 29 October 1931 in Cambridge, daughter of Ralph D’Ambrosia and Josephine Ronchini.

Jack spent four years in the US Air Force; (18 months on the island of Okinawa) before attending Colorado School of Mines. He was graduated from the University of Tulsa in 1961, with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. He spent most of his working career in Dallas, Texas. He worked as a safety engineer, project engineer, and sales engineer. He is a Registered Professional Control systems engineer. Upon semi-retirement, in 1992, he began working for an Australian company, which involved traveling to Australia and Indonesia. Joan worked part time for a rehabilitation nurse, retiring in 1975. In 1995, she had a second bout with cancer, and died 17 August 1995 in Dallas.

As a small boy, Jack remembers a story told by Grandmother Maud Lamb about her kitchen table. It had belonged to Hannah Small Lamb, her mother-in-law, who brought it to Kansas from Iowa in a covered wagon in 1881. Upon the death of Grandmother Maud, this was given to her son Paul’s wife Jo. After Jo’s death, this was stored in a garage of Alice Stwalley’s, and suffered some damage. When Jack had a home of his own, he had it restored for the use of his family. It has been promised to his daughter Tina, who will take it to Rochester, Minnesota.

Jack’s father, Paul, told the story a duck hunting trip that was taken sometime in the 1920’s. Paul was hunting with two friends from Ford on the Cimarron River. To keep the ducks from seeing them, they had to crawl on hands and knees for about 1/4 mile through sandburrs. When they jumped the ducks, Paul said the sky was black with birds. Every time they fired a shot, they could see the sky through the hole made by falling ducks. Because there was no limit, they killed 75 ducks. The old gun was retired by Jack in 1972. Jack believes that story is what aroused his interest in duck hunting, which he does each fall and winter. He now hunts with duck decoys that he has carved. Jack also collects the old wooden decoys.

"In May 1997, for his achievements and dedication to public service, John was honored as the recipient of the 1997 Alumni Award for Outstanding Public Service by Wichita State University.

"I believe to be successful in municipal government, a person must have - the personal qualities of honesty, sincerity, and integrity."

This was an excerpt from "Statement of Goals" written by John Deardoff in 1982" on the application admission to WSU MUA/MPA program.

"Fifteen years later, these words truly represent John’s career in public service. He is a committed professional with a visible dedication to strong values.

"In 1979, John received his BA degree in political science from St. Mary of the Plains College. He immediately launched his public management career by serving as Administrative Aide and Administrative Assistant in Dodge City. Within three years, John realized a masters degree was imperative if his career was to further advance, and he began his master of Urban Affairs program at Wichita State University in 1982. Wasting little time, John took a "heavy" course load the initial three semesters, served as a graduate assistant for one year and began his internship with the city of Dodge City in 1983 He was awarded the Mater of Urban Affairs (MPA) degree in May 1984.

"Upon graduation, he returned to Dodge City government, but his career was already on the move. He was immediately appointed Dodge City’s Assistant City Manager. In July 1985, he became the City Manager at Sterling, Kansas. Four years later in May 1989, his successful public service journey continued, this taking him to Hutchinson to serve as Assistant City Manager. In July of 1994, John returned once again to Dodge City, this time as City Manager.

"While it may seem John’s career has come full circle - who else would keep returning to Dodge! His friends and Colleagues know how much more still lies ahead for him. Described by his peers as honest, courteous, professional, understanding, straight forward, and knowledgeable, John is highly respected and serves as an excellent example of what a city manager should represent. He enjoys public service, which is evident in his relationships with colleagues and the citizens he serves, for his achievements."
