D. C. Lamb.

Among the early settlers of Tama County is D. C. Lamb a heavy farmer and stock raiser of Otter Creek township. Ohio is Mr. Lamb’s native State having been born in that State on the 4th day of March, 1820. He remained there assisting his father in business and attending school until the year 1841. When he had attained a majority he quit home to attend school at Grandville, Ohio. Here he remained for several years after which he followed teaching.

In 1844 Mr. Lamb was married to Miss Rebecca Walters, with whom he lived until the year 1863, when she was called away by death. Four years after this Mr. Lamb was again married; Miss Mary Shenheit became his wife with whom he is now living.

In 1856, Mr. Lamb came to this County and settled in Otter Creek township where he has a beautiful farm of over one thousand acres, the most of which is under improvement.

Such farmers and citizens as Mr. Lamb are a credit to any County and with pride we note the success which he has attained through economy and good management. His dealings with men are of a strictly honest character, which has attained for him a wide and creditable reputation, such that none but the honest and upright can boast.
