Lambeth<\/strong>, a merchant of Golddust, was born December 8, 1849, in Lebanon,<br \/>\nTenn., being the youngest of three children born to James T. and Susan E.<br \/>\nLambeth. The father was a Tennessean, born in 1809, and died in 1857, at<br \/>\nLebanon, Tenn. The mother was born in Wilson County, in 1825, and is still<br \/>\nliving in Lambethville, Crittenden Co., Ark. Our subject was raised at<br \/>\nLebanon, Tenn., and remained there until 1858, when he went to Elizabethtown,<br \/>\nIll., to attend school, remaining until 1861, when he went to Cave-In-Rock,<br \/>\nIll., and with his brothers, James T., Jr., and Warren Lambeth, he engaged in<br \/>\nfarming and speculating, until 1872, when he went to college at Poughkeepsie,<br \/>\nN. Y., remaining until 1873. Mr. Lambeth then invested with his brothers in<br \/>\nsaw-mill property in Weston, Ky, and continued at this until 1875, when the<br \/>\nfirm of Lambeth Bros. bought the boat &#8220;Tidal Waves,&#8221; and ran on the river from<br \/>\nEvansville, Ind., to Memphis, Tenn., and in 1878 they added the mercantile<br \/>\nbusiness to their mill business at Weston, Crittenden Co., Ky. Our subject<br \/>\nremained in the store until 1879, when the firm bought the boat &#8220;Jennie<br \/>\nJulia,&#8221; and he went to steamboating, continuing also the other business until<br \/>\n1880. He was also interested in the lumber and commission business at St.<br \/>\nLouis, Mo. In 1884 he closed out his business at the above mentioned place<br \/>\nand took charge of a government boat about six months, and in the meantime had<br \/>\nhis present house built, and opened a general store at Golddust, in May, 1884.<br \/>\nAugust 12, 1868, he was married to Mattie E. Graham, daughter of Joseph and<br \/>\nMary J. Graham, of Harrisburg, Ill. No children have been born to this<br \/>\nmarriage. Mr. Lambeth has led an active life, and has remarkable energy; he<br \/>\nhas accumulated a nice property by his own efforts and business tact, and is<br \/>\nhighly respected by those who know him.<\/p>\n<p><em>Goodspeed&#8217;s Biographies of Lauderdale Co., TN <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>W.
