PRISCILLA JONES LAMBERT

DEATH OF MRS. R.A. LAMBERT

[Welland Telegraph, 29 September 1911]

Many friends in Welland and Welland district will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. R.A. Lambert, Merritt Street (4) on Wednesday night, after a long and painful illness which extended over the last two years. Mrs. Lambert had been a sufferer from nervous trouble which was the cause of death. She was born in the township of Wainfleet at Salem, and was in her 76th year. During the early part of her married life they had lived in Gainsboro, and then for twelve years on a farm at Port Robinson, but for the last twenty-two years they were residents of Welland, where Mr. Lambert carried on business as a butcher.  Mrs. Lambert, besides her husband, leaves one daughter, Mrs. Charles Platten, one sister, Mrs. Ricker of Moote Settlement, and three brothers, George and Henry of Moulton and Peter of Rainy River. She was a life-long member of the Methodist Church. The funeral will take place this afternoon and will be private.
