A former Fairfield businessman died suddenly at his home in Burlington this morning after suffering from ill health for the past four or five months.

He is Robert B. LAMB, 68, who operated a shoe repair shop on the north side of the square here for 13 years. The family left Fairfield in the fall of 1940.

Last rites will be Monday at 2:30 p.m. at the Hoskins fuseral (sic - funeral) home with Rev. S. P. Williamson and Rev. Ellis Angle in charge. Burial will be in the Brethren cemetery near Libertyville.

Robert B. LAMB was born December 1, 1880, in Iowa. After moving from Fairfield he had lived the past six years in Burlington.

Mr. LAMB is also survived by two brothers: Ed of Montrose, Ia., and Hood of Hinsdale, Illinois; and a sister, Mrs. Martha JUNKIN of Bloomfield. One son, Lowell, died in 1937.
