HIGH COMPLIMENT Paid by Louisville Bank People to New Albany Banker When the directors of the Southern National Bank assemble at their regular weekly meeting this afternoon, the matter of filling the office of president of the institution, recently vacated by Allen R. White, may be taken up says the Courier-Journal. In the event it is decided to hold an election, it is said that one of three well known men, Perry H. Johnson, national bank examiner in this district, Albert S. Rice, present vice president of the bank, and Earl S. Gwin, president of the Second Nation Bank of New Albany, will be chosen. It is to be hoped, even in case he is chosen, that Mr. Gwin will decline the honor.

Crawford County (IN) Democrat, January 24, 1900. Sarah Jane Gill(illegible) was born March 12, 1840, in the State of Georgia. When quite young her parents removed to Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, where she grew up. While at school in Lexington, Ky., at the age of 15, she became interested in religion and united with the Christian Church. She remained a faithful member of this church transferring her letter to the Corydon organization upon her settling here. In September 1860 she was married to Mr. Richard H. Lambe. Six children came to them of whom two died in infancy and two others after they had grown to girlhood. Two are still living: Mr. Richard H. Lambe, Jr., of Corydon, and Mr. William Lambe whose home is in the Ohio County, Ky. Eight grandchildren also survive her. Five years ago the Lambes came to Corydon to live. Mrs. Lambe was then in good health and made many friends among our people by her kind and genial disposition. For the last two years, however, she has been confined to her house and for much of the time to her bed with cancer. Despite the incurable nature of her disease and her steady decline, the end at last came suddenly. Tuesday at noon the 16th inst., she departed from her frail body without a struggle. The funeral book place on Wednesday the 17th in the Christian Church conducted by Rev. Treloar and Rev. Storm. Her age was 59 years, 10 months and 4 days. The large attendance testified to the love and esteem in which she was held. The husband and the son desire publicly to express their grateful appreciation of this sympathy and of the kindness shown them and the departed one during her long illness.

Boston (MASS) Journal, March 21, 1872, p. 4. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION AT JEFFERSONVILLE, IND. The Largest Car Works in the Country Destroyed Loss $500,000; Insurance $300,000 Louisville, Ky., March 20. The Ohio Falls Car Works at Jeffersonville, Indiana, was destroyed by fire this afternoon. The fire was discovered about half past two o'clock among some shavings in the planning mill which is supposed to have caught from the smokestack and spread to the remainder of the works and lumberyard in the same enclosure, all of which were consumed. The works were the most extensive and complete of the kind in the country. The buildings alone covered five acres of ground besides a number a sheds and lumberyards. A large amount of machinery of the finest quality, with a large quantity of car materials, was in the buildings. The works employed about 700 men and did an immense business. The works had orders at the time of the fire for 2000 cars. Sixteen passenger coaches, nearly finished, a number of freight and other cars were burned. The works cleared a net profit last year of $200,000 (difficult to read). The loss will reach $500,000, and the insurance is about $300,000-mostly in Northern companies There were 600 men in the shops at the time, nearly all of whom lost their tools. Several persons had a narrow escape from death during the fire. One man is missing, and it is feared he was burned to death. Louisville engines were sent over to assist the two government engines and one city engine from Jeffersonville, but the dry weather and high wind rendered all efforts useless. The company says they will rebuild immediately.
