OBITUARY FOR LEWIS (sic) LAMB : Paisley Advocate, April 30, 1914.
A pioneer resident of the Gore of Greenock, who was for many years one of the most prominent men of the municipality, passed to his long rest after a life extending over 91 years.
Lewis Lamb was born in the parish of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1822, and in 1852 immigrated to Canada, coming first to Fergus, Ont. In the summer of 1854, in company with the late George Brockie, he made his way up from the middle Ontario clearings to the heart of the wilderness of woods in Bruce County. Mr. Lamb squatted on Lot 37, Con A, Greenock Twp., which lot he purchased at the government land sale in the fall of that year, 1854, and thereon he lived for the remaining sixty years of his life. Messrs. Lamb and Brockie followed the pioneer route of travel from the south, taking to a raft at Walkerton and disembarking at Paisley, where at that time only a few men had established their abode, but prospectors were beginning to crowd upon the wooded lands.
Lewis Lamb and George Brockie were the vanguard of a band of Aberdeen farmers who took possession of that part of Greenock in which these two young men planted stakes. The Lamb, Brockie and Davie families themselves took up 1400 acres. Among the other families who located in that neighborhood were the Leasks, Dalgarnos, Youngs, Houstons and D. Black. The surviving members of the Lamb family are about the only original settlers left.
Lewis Lamb took up with zest the pioneer labor of clearing his farm, and while working in the woods met with an accident that nearly cost him his life, a tree falling upon him. He was crushed to the ground beneath the large trunk and held there on that cold February day until help could be brought to release him. His leg, hip and arm were broken.
Mr. Lamb was early recognized as a useful man of ability in the community. He was chosen to be township councilor and in the course of years ran the whole gamut of municipal service, being in turn elected deputy-reeve and reeve, as well as school trustee, also later filling the positions of assessor and collector. He was one of the prime movers in the organization of Central Bruce Agricultural Society, was the first president of the organization and one of the men who made the fall fair at Paisley a successful farmers' institution.
In Scottish society gatherings in Paisley, such as St. Andrews day suppers and Caledonian games, Mr. Lamb was one of those always present. Intelligent and well-informed in mind, genial in disposition and kindly in manner, Mr. Lamb was a man generally respected and beloved. While he continued to be mentally vigorous and bright to the last and retained a lively, sympathetic interest in affairs, physically he failed so that he was unable to take an active part therein for a few years back.
He was never married, his home being shared with two sisters, Misses Susan and Jane Lamb, who are still living. Mr. William Lamb, of Greenock, is the only brother.
In politics Mr. Lamb was a Liberal and in religion a Presbyterian. His end was peaceful, a gradual failing from old age, without pain or suffering. For ten weeks he had been confined to bed, and death occurred on April 19th. The funeral took place on Tuesday of last week to Douglas Hill Cemetery, services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Mason.
