GARRETT E. LAMB.

G. E. Lamb, a son or Artemus Lamb, was born in Clinton November 14, 1869, and since reaching manhood has become prominently identified with the business interests of the city. He prepared for college at Clinton, and then spent two years in the literary department of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and then returned to his business life in Clinton. He is now president of the Peoples Trust and Savings Bank; is secretary of the C. Lamb & Sons and is also extensively engaged in mining operations in Arizona. He is a wide-awake, energetic and progressive young business man, and carries forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes. It is true that he became interested in business already established, but in controlling and enlarging such enterprises many a man of even considerable resolute purpose, courage and industry would have failed; and he has demonstrated the truth of the saying that success is not the result of genius, but the outcome of a clear judgment and experience. Fraternally he is a Scottish Rite Mason, having taken the thirty-second degree. He is a member of Emulation Lodge, of the Chapter and Commandery, De Molay Consistory, at Clinton, and El Kahir Temple of Mystic Shrine, at Cedar Rapids. He is also connected with the Elks. He married Miss Gertrude Ellis, daughter of Lyman A. Ellis.
