    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Crawford and Harrison County: Sarah Jane Lambe Died
    2. Randi Richardson
    3. 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.
