Notes for Chester Lamb, Jr.:
Volumn 5 of Kansa and Kansans page 2405:
      Mrs. Shelden was born at Troy, Geauga County, Ohio, April 19, 1856, and is a daughter of Chester and Anne Crook Lamb. The family originated in tthe State of New Yor and it is probable the family was founded there by the grandfather of Mrs Shelden, a native of England. Chester Lamb was born in the Empire State, in 1816, and being left an orphan at the age of nine years, went to Troy, Ohio, where he was reared in the family of his uncle, Gayland Lamb. Mr. Lamb received an ordinary public school education and adopted farming and stockraising as his vocation in life, and gradually deveeloped into a breeder of registered horses, eventually acquiring much more than a local reputation as a breeder of race horses. In 1869, with his wife and children, he left Ohio and came to Douglass, where he was a pioneer and carried on operations on a farm, although his residence was located within the limits of the town. In 1880 he changed his field of operations to Sterling, Rice County, Kansas, and there the remaining years of his life were passed, his death occurring in 1880. He was not an office seeker, but voted the republican ticket, and assisted all gooand public-spirited movements which were breought forward for consideration by the people. Mr. Lamb was married first to Mary Crook who died leaving two children: Henry who is now deceased and Frank, a resident of Dayton, Ohio and a veteran of the Civil War, through which he fought as captain of a company in the Ninth Ohio Battery. Mr Lamb's second marriage to Anne Crook, the sister of his first wife, who was born in 1819 in New York State, and died at Troy, Ohio in August, 1861. They became the parents of five children: Watson M., who is engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at Hoquiam, Washington. Harvey D. Lamb who was in the railroad mail service and died at Anthony, Kansas December22, 1916. Elizabeth, who died in 1905 at Colorado Springs, Colorado, as the wife of William Russell, a contractor and builder of that city. Mary M. Lamb, now Mrs. Shelden and Leland Adelbert, who died at Sterling Kansas in 1881 when a young man.
      Mary M. Lamb was educated in the public schools of Troy, Ohio, and Douglass, Kansas, and subsequently attended the high school at El Dorado after leaving which whe secured her certificate as a teacher and taught at Rosalina and Douglass until her marriage. She was one of the most popular teachers of the locality and is still remembered with fond affection by many of her former pupils who have since attained high positions in the world....
