LAMBERTSON, (2nd generation; John Lambertson,Sr. Ist generation) born November 30, 1830, in Dearboin County, Indiana; married I!arch 11, 1857 to MARIA EVA STLNLEY near Victoria, Knox County, Illinois. Yaria was born October 29, 1837, in Delaware County, New York. They moved to Clarke County Iowa, in 1867, where Maria died 1-tay 2, 1916, age 78 and was buried in the Furray, Iowa cemetery by the side of three children who had preceded her. Robert N. Lambertson died October 9, 1921 at Loveland, Colorado, and was -buried in the I-lurray cemetery by the side of his wife and children.

ihe following is a brief history of Robert N.Lambertson as written by l,is wife October 16, 1915:

"Robert N. Lambertson was the son of John and Percilla Lambertson. At

the -a-e of twenty-one, lie came with liis brother-in-law to Springfield, Illinois.

In a few months he went to Starke County to work on the farm of Jacob Emory who

he continued for four and a half years at the wage of $12 per month. During

that here, he went to Iowa and purchased land of the G6vernment at $1.25 Per acre

which he still owns. On March 11, 1857, he was Trarr ' ied to I.,aria Eva Stanley near

Victoria, Knox County, Illinois. In 1867 they went to Iowa and settled on the farm which he had purchased. He united with the Methodist Church in 1905."

"Uncle Bob and Aunt Maria, as we called them, were friends to evervont!

who uished to do right; but they had no countenance for deceit or tintrurhEL;Iness. When chey made an assertion, we all knew it to be the truth. Their home was

alway; the headquarters for love, peace and good cheer, as well as for %jarli hospitality. Uncle Robert was raised a' firmer and always farn,.ed inJusLrio,,i!;Iv, and while he'was raised between two rows of corn, lie was no "punkin".

Page 6

lie taught farming to his sons and they all grew up to be successful farmers. He never aspired to office. I don't think he ever held a public office unless it was school director or road supervisor, and I think he got out of that as soon as possible. Truthfulness and strict honesty was his motto and he'never deviated from it. Aunt l,aria was one of God's noblewoman. S - he loved her children, her friends and her Saviour, and she pitied her enemies, if she had any which I doubt. She was for many years, and at the time of her death, a member of the Methodist Church and a happy Christian. She died assured of a blessed immortality, always having been a good wife and mother and making her home a model of love and industry". Children: (3rd generation)
