Last Sunday morning's telegram was received from Dr. Joseph Lambert, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Lambert, saying that his wife died that morning. It was a great shock to his people here as they had not heard that she was sick. As we write we have no particulars. In the evening another telegram was received by C. C. Thornton from his brother, R. J. Thornton, stating that his wife had died that evening. We have no particulars in either of the above sad cases. The bereaved friends surely have the sympathy of the entire community, as both of the deceased were young and their sun went down before mid-day.
