Karol, Fair Haven Era Jan. 24, 1907 "Under the heading of 'An Old Timer Gone' the Rutland Herald of Saturday morning , notes the death at his home 409 Weast St. in that city of Patrick Lamb age 85. Patrick was one of the few remaining stage drivers, who handled the ribbons in this section prior to the advent of the railroads. He came direct from Ireland to this place 60 years ago and during nearly all years of his employ here was employed by E. Foster Cook, who kept the old Mansion House on the ground now occupied by the Bomoseen. (Castleton Village). Bardwell and Cook also operated all the lines of stage coaches centering here prior to the fall of 1850. They built the Bardwell House in 1851 and moved to Rutland but Mr. Cook continued handling the mails between Rutland and Whitehall, for sometime thereafter. Pat Lamb carried the mail for them between Rutland and Castleton in a buggy driving a good horse. In the fall of 1851-52 the writer was employed in Rutland and many a comfortable nice ride he enjoyed with him between Rutland and his home here but met seldom his old acquaintance of 60 years, during more than half a century in which his home was in Rutland." written by James Brennan. Do you have the Rutland Herald Obit of Patrick? I didnt want to waste time typing it if you did. Regards, Peter Patten
