MARMADUKE LAMB Mr. Marmaduke Lamb, who died at his home, Mullumbimby, over the Christmas holidays, was aged 84 years. A native of Bradford, Yorkshire, England, he came to -Australia in1876. He was a carpenter for someyears at Adelaide, and then joined the South Australian railways. Following work as an engineer on the Broken Hill mines, the late- Mr. Lamb came to Queensland at the beginning of the century, and was a contractor for the Queensland Government. He built a number of railway bridges. Settling in Mullumbimby in, 1903, he followed his work as a carpenter until he retired. A gifted man, the late Mr. Lamb prepared his own plans and specifications for any job, and was remarkable with figures. It could be said of him that he was an accomplished - builder, architect, engineer and mathematician. If anygadget or fitting was required by local industries, invariably he was called on and soon the required, article was produced on his treadle lathe or by other means in his worksnop. When at Broken Hill, he invented a particular type of steam pump for the mines, also a new inter -locking device for the South Australian "railways. Though practically self-taught, he was clever with any class of machinery. In later life, he contributed freely to Australian periodicals, including "TheBulletin," under the pen-name of "Old Sam."In addition to these accompjlishments,- he was endowed with a wonderfully good nature, and 'was affectionately known throughout the district as "Marmaduke Lamb" — the "Mr."seemed as unnecessary with a map of his qualities and disposition as it does with a great personage. Mrs. Lamb, who was a daughter of Henry Bickle, of woollen trade fame, died five years ago. The family comprises Robert Alfred Lamb (Marooehydore, Queensland), Mrs. S. Locke (Mullumbimby), ' and Mr. Herbert Lamb (Mullumbimby 7. There are eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Mr. Robert Alfred Lamb and his son, Mr. Herbert William Lamb, of Lismore, both served over three years in the Great War, the former in the flying corps, and the latter in the infantry, a record of father and son service which is rare in Australian military annals.
