DEATH OF MRS. JOSHUA LAMB.——With great regret we announce the death of Mrs. Joshua Lamb, which took place on Sunday, the 10th inst., following an accident in her house on April 19th. The deceased lady was an old and greatly respected resident of Sibford Ferris, and the sympathy of the Sibfords goes out to Mr. Joshua Lamb and his family in their bereavement. The Coroner for North Oxon, Mr. E.C. Fortescue, held an enquiry as to the cause of death on Tuesday. Mr. Joshua Lamb said his wife had been suffering from paralysis three years, and had been attended by Dr. Mottram up till November last.—Mr. B.W. Lamb said that on April 19 his mother fell owing to feebleness on her way to the kitchen, and Dr. Mottram was sent for.—Dr. Mottram stated he found Mrs. Lamb suffering great pain in the right hip, and he was of opinion she had injured her thigh bone, and no doubt death was due to senile decay caused by the accidental fall on April 19th.—The verdict was in accordance with the medical evidence.

The funeral took place on Wednesday in the Friends' Burial Ground, Sibford Gower, amid many manifestations of sympathy. A large number of relatives and friends followed, and in the Meeting House members of the Society of Friends spoke of the beautiful character and life of the deceased.

 

IN MEMORIAM.

LUCY SOPHIA LAMB.

(President S.O.S.A. 1914.)

By the death of Lucy Sophia Lamb the S.O.S.A. loses a Past President and an interested member, and Sibford a well-known and greatly respected inhabitant.

L.S. Lamb was the daughter of Frederick and Lucy Ann Binns, of Sunderland, where she was born on the 31st July, 1855. She was a first cousin of the late Frederick Andrews, headmaster for 43 years of Ackworth School. Her parents removed to London in 1861, and she entered the Friends' School, Sibford, in 1866, remaining as pupil and teacher until the time of her marriage at Croydon to Joshua Lamb, of Sibford Ferris, in 1882. She retained lively recollections of her school days, and of the help and encouragement she had received, notably from Richard Routh and Margaret Ann Clark, whose memory she revered. To generations of Sibford scholars L.S.L. was known as of a kindly, approachable and sympathetic disposition, given to hospitality, and ever rejoicing in the well-being of those around her.

As the wife of a farmer and the mother of a large family, she led for many years a strenuous, devoted, and yet conspicuously cheerful life, probably knowing little or nothing of monotony or ennui in the "daily round, the common task," though her work and cares must often have taxed her never robust constitution. "Her children arise and call her blessed." The loss, after a short illness, of a dearly loved daughter of charm and promise, was a trial which, though borne with fortitude and resignation, had a marked effect upon her health. A gradual failure of strength ensued, terminating in her peacefully passing away on the morning of May 10th, 1925, the anniversary, to the very hour, of her marriage 43 years before.

One who knew her well says of her, "I found Sophie Lamb for more than thirty years an excellent neighbour; broad minded, charitable, desiring the extension of Christ's Kingdom on Earth, the friend of all. She has left a memory of which her husband, her children, and her school may well be proud."

R.B.O. [Robert Brearley Oddie]

The following appreciation has been received from Alice M. Harris.

In the cloisters of Chichester Cathedral there is a tablet placed in memory of a lady who died in 1784, of whim it says that she was a "Perfect example of conjugal fidelity and parental tenderness." When, quite recently, I saw this tablet I was reminded at once of Sophie Lamb because I felt that the same thing could truthfully be said of her. One of the uppermost thoughts of her in my mind is that she was a "Mother" in the truest sense of the word; and I know, too, that she was a real helpmeet to her husband.

Many years ago I had the privilege of spending about three months in the house of Joshua and Sophie Lamb. Their family numbered seven, which meant that there was very little leisure for the Mother, and I was much impressed by her unbounded patience and forbearance; she never seemed to get cross or flurried over the demands made on her Motherhood.

As the family grew to manhood and womanhood and they left the old home for homes of their own, her mother-heart still yearned over them and by keeping in touch she was able to enjoy the pleasure of their visits from time to time.

At the time of her funeral a brother-in-law of L.S.L. said that in her were fulfilled the whole of the "fruits of the spirit"—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. As a teacher at Sibford School, L.S.L. was loved by her pupils, and one feels that her quiet influence must have helped them to be better citizens. To those who loved her it was sad to see her failing powers in the latter part of her life, but this, too, was borne with uncomplaining patience. In her humility of mind one feels that her wish would be for—

"Some humble door among Thy many mansions,

Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease,

And flows for ever through Heaven's green expansions,

The river of Thy Peace."
