Woodlawn Cemetery LAMB Catherine 5/23/1899 LAMB Thomas S. age 36 9/3/1893 LAMB Hattie (Hedweig) age 66yrs.b/Ger.10/26/1937 LAMB William (Father) Snohomish County Tribune 8-31-1900 This week has been a most tragic one in the history of this part of the county. Tuesday morning about noon, a crowd of men employed at Snohomish logging Company's works near this city were riding on one of the cars on the company's train, when the car upon which five of the men were riding, jumped the track. At the point where this occured the track runs on a trestle about fourteen feet from the ground. Two of those on the car, Chas. Cyphers and R.G. McDonald jumped and escaped with but a few bruises and cuts; of the rest, Frank Burn was crushed to such an extent that he died the same afternoon, being unalble to rally from the operation of amputating his arm and leg. "Mike" LAMBERT was pushed along the trestle thirty or forty feet by the trucks of the car, and in addition to a leg and a foot being broken, suffered internal injuries from the effects which he died Wednesday afternoon at Everett whither he had been taken for treatment. The third man whose name is not known was thrown in such a manner that the car and its load all fell on him, but in some miraculoss way he escaped injury. It appears that the cause of the accident was the jumping off the track of the small push car which was in front of the car on which the men were riding. This jammed together the trucks which seperated the boards forming the bottom of the car, dropping the men down between, to death. While blame cannot be attached to anyone the question whether the train was being run too fast arises in the mind of the investigator. Frank Burns was buried Wednesday by the Monte Cristo Lodge of Foresters, of which he was a member. Mr. LAMBERT was buried from the Congregational church on Thursday, Rev. Wilson officiating at both services. Monroe Monitor 8-20-1937 Mrs. Anna Larson, 43, of Sultan died Saturday after a long illness.

There is a mystery surrounding his death which it hoped an autopsy and inquest may clear away. Lewis had been out with the boys Sunday night and had been drinking. He got home at midnight and fearing he would not be up in time to go to work he started up the skid road for the camp where he worked taking with him his revolver. Monday morning he was found lying on his face stone dead, with a bullet wound in his leg. About 150 yards up the road his lantern was lying, while directly across the road, a huge automatic Colt revolver was found. The bullet ploughed its way upward, leaving the body near the center of the abdomen. The largest casket the Deputy Coroner had was too small for the 6'4" African. It was a hard job getting the body down to Robe. A box sufficiently large to receive the remains was hurriedly constructed and all that was mortal of the largest man in the Monte Cristo region, was finally brought tot he railway platform. Lewis was a married man, and leaves a wife and several children living at Robe. He was a native of Africa. He was a 32 degree Mason and belonged to Washington lodge NO 49, Seattle.
