Mrs. Ramser was so badly injured she was taken to the hospital at Oakland. Mr. Lamb is a brother of Mrs. Andy Allen and Mrs. G. W. McCoy of this city. # 2 - - from The Tribune, July 22, 1926 AUTO ACCIDENT FATAL TO A FORMER RESIDENT MRS. HENRY LAMB, NOW OF FREMONT, KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING NORTH OF OAKLAND; DAUGHTER IS ALSO INJURED FATALITY HAPPENS FOLLOWING COLLISION WITH ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE Mrs. Henry Lamb, well-known former Blair girl, but now a resident of Fremont, was killed in an auto accident north of Oakland last Friday while driving along the highway with her daughter, Mrs. Will Ramser, formerly of Arlington, who now lives on a farm near Lyons. Mrs. Ramser, who was driving the car, was injured so seriously that one arm may have to be amputated. The accident happened three miles north of Arlington, and the 8-year-old daughter of Mrs. Ramser, who was sitting on Mrs. Lamb’s lap at the time of the accident, escaped injury in an almost miraculous manner. The accident followed a collision with another car, according to reports reaching here, and is the third fatality from accidents in the Lamb family in the past few years. Five years ago, a son of Mrs. Lamb, Harry, was drowned and about a year ago, Randall, another son, died from injuries sustained in a runaway. At the time of the accident, the two women and Mrs. Ramser’s daughter were enroute from Fremont to the Ramser home. As they turned the corner another car, conming from the east, turned to go north, colliding with the car. The latter car, driven by Mrs. Ramser, turned over. As it overturned several times, the top was torn off and the occupants pinned in the wreckage. The injured were removed from the car to be rushed to the hospital. When taken from the wreckage, Mr. Lamb was living, although seriously injured. She died enroute to the Oakland hospital. Mrs. Ramser’s eight-year-old daughter, Carol, was riding on Mrs. Lamb’s lap but was hurled clear of the wreckage and sustained no serious injuries. Mrs. Lamb was a Neff girl and was very well-known in this community. She was born on the Neff homestead near Spiker, July 28, 1869, and would have been 57 years of age this week. After her marriage to Henry Lamb, they moved to a farm near Elk City where they lived until four years ago, when they moved to Fremont. Surviving are her husband; two daughters, Mrs. Will Ramser of Lyons and Mrs. Walter Sherwood of Grand Island; two sons, John at home and George of Washington; two brothers, Henry Neff of Herman and George Neff of Arlington; and three sisters, Mrs. Pete Peterson, Arlington, Mrs. Chris Rasmussen, Arlington and Mrs. Hattie Henderson, Newman’s Grove. The remains of Mrs. Lamb were taken to Fremont from Oakland Saturday, following a coroner’s inquest, which exonerated all persons concerned in the auto accident from any blame, finding that the accident was unavoidable. Funeral services were held from the Methodist Church in Fremont Monday afternoon and the remains were taken to Elk City for interment. Mrs. Ramser was unable to attend her mother’s funeral and is still confined in the Oakland hospital, where she was taken following the accident. ~There is an additional obituary published in the Pilot July 21, 1926.
