Notes for Elizabeth Jeannette (Spouse 1)
263Page 167-168,"To Madison Lambert and his wife the following children were born: Martha, Anna, and Jacob. Martha became the wife of Eugene Johnson and Anna married Samuel Phillips."
"After the death of her husband, the widow and children of Madison Lambert returned to her parental home in Tucker County where the family grew to maturity and married."
"Jacob Lambert grew to be a young man of industry and ((Page 168 begins here)) progress. he came into the full bloom of his early manhood at the time the lumber industry took on vigorous action in the upper Cheat River region. So he entered into this new work with zeal and ambition to learn the business."
"When the Otter Creek Boom and Lumber Company began to slash the forests and remove the timber from Green Mountaqin (1896) Jacob Lambert became one of the supervisors in this industry. No one knew better than he how the primeval forest fell before the woodsman's ax and the rasping saw, how the railroads entered the deepest recesses of the mountain gorges reaching their arms out to gather in the bleached logs cut from the giant trees, or how in the noisy mills the white boards fell from the shuttle carriages."
"After the lumber industry had subsided Jacob lambert turned his efforts to farming, an occupation he gave close attention. His last years were passed at his rural home in Holly Meadows, Tucker County, West Virginia."
"Jacob Lambert was born August 31, 1864. During his early manhood he married Margaret Durmire, a resident of Tucker County. Their only child, Dessie, is now Mrs. Hayes Wotring of Elkins, West Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Wotring are the parents of four children, Glen, Denver, Kent, Katherine."
"After the death of his first wife Jacob married Elizabeth Parsons. They spent the rest of their lives on a fertile farm located in the Holly Meadows, Tucker County, West Virginia. Their graves are marked in the cemetery that is nearby their former homestead."
