List - I've had a couple of requests for this obit lately. If there are others, hopefully this will help...and please let me know if you have anything you can share about her family history...still hoping there is a lost family bible somewhere out there.

She was the daughter of Richard and Rebecca Lambert and was born in Jacksonville on July 3, 1849. In young womahood, she was united in marriage with Charles W.
