Family Group “P”
Luna Albert Lamb
and Maud Nemaha Wilson
Luna Albert Lamb, the youngest surviving child of
Hezekiah Lamb and Hannah Small, was born 29 December
1863, in Dallas County, Iowa, a birthright Quaker. In
1895, he and his cousin, Mahlon Lamb, were licensed
to preach in the Wesleyan Church.
He was married the year after his father died, on 29
January 1898, to Maud Nemaha Wilson. He was 34, and
she was 18. He was considered an eligible bachelor,
but rather a “Man about town,” when he fell in love
with Maud. Her parents were, understandably, dubious
about the match, and would not give them permission
to be married. Determined, they had to wait until
Maud had her 18th birthday, and came of age.
Maud was born 5 January 1880, in Burr Oak, Jewell
County, Kansas, the oldest child of Joseph Franklin
Wilson and Mary Marcelia Hogle. (See Part VII) Their
farm was about a mile away from the Lamb place near
Northbranch, Kansas.
The young couple moved into the home of widow Hannah,
and celebrated the birth of two baby boys. In the
winter of 1900-1, L. A. decided that he wanted to buy
land in Ford County in southwest Kansas, near a new
settlement, “Ford City,” built at the site where a
well-used ford crossed the Arkansas River. A cousin,
1
Reuben Small, had been doing surveying there, and no
doubt recommended it to him. He said later that it
was the smartest move he had ever made. He settled
1/2 mile east of town. Eight more children were born
to them. L. A. always said that he wanted 12
children, but after Maud had ten, she declared that
was enough!
Collis remembered a time when a great blizzard came
up during school hours. L. A. came after the three
older children, who were in school, tied them
together with a rope, and led them back home down the
railroad track, which ran past their place.
And there was the time, that Maud decided that she
needed a cellar. Apparently, L. A. wasn’t available,
or unwilling to help, so she put the oldest boys to
work digging it by hand.
Once, at Christmas, the three oldest boys were told
that Santa had left their presents in the barn loft.
When they went out, they found bicycles! When their
sister, Alice, begged to be allowed to ride the
bikes, she was given permission only if she would
take the owner up the hill toward school. Later on,
in a bicycle race, Alice was able to beat out her
brothers,
due,
no
doubt,
to
her
excellent
conditioning.
Later, L. A. established a general store in town, and
he built a large house on the west edge of town.
Later though, they sold it and moved back to the
country. After a while they moved back to town, into
a house where he had a barn and pasture behind, and
could keep his livestock. One year, a twister had
nearly destroyed the house in the country, leaving
only two rooms of it. He moved this into town and set
2
it up close to their house. Maud used it for a sewing
room, and washhouse, and extra space.
The store prospered, and the times were good. When
cars came out, he had one of the first, with a new
one every year, and this was a thrill to the young
men of the family. Once, Collis took out a new car
for a spin, and ran into and killed a cow, wrecking
the car. On another occasion, Paul had driven into
the country and got the new car stuck in a stream,
and had to walk back to town.
L. A. kept a well-equipped carpenter’s shop, and
black-smithy. He had the blacksmith tools that had
belonged to his father. He was an amateur inventor,
sometimes to the amusement of his family. Long before
the days of “flying saucers,” in the 1920’s and
1930’s, he made model airplanes. One of them was
saucer shaped, and operated like a helicopter,
hovering and moving up and down. He made a platform
rocking chair, that everyone appreciated a little
more.
Maud was the typical housewife of the day, raising a
big family, gardening, keeping chickens, separating
milk, sewing, and working in the store. She kept a
cookie jar full of extra large sugar cookies, and
ginger cookies, which this granddaughter remembers
fondly. Her “button box” and the great pile of empty
sewing-thread spools that she saved for us children
are some of my earliest memories. It was a great
treat for me to stay overnight, and be allowed to
play with a set of tin toy dishes and cookware. When
I was there, I avoided the barn yard. It seems there
was always a mean old rooster, that terrified me by
jumping on my back.
3
One of the family’s favorite dishes was chicken
simmered in pure cream. All of the family agreed that
Maud made the best angel food cake, and she made it
without cake flour! Each daughter and daughter-in-law
had been given her “receit,” but none could make it
quite like mama.
She made quilts for all of her children, and one for
each of her grandchildren. The one she made for me
was the “Flower Garden,” made with pieces left over
from all the print dresses I had worn as a little
girl.
Grandmother was a natural worrier. She had no great
tragedies in her life. All of her children were doing
well; none had caused her any serious trouble. But
she had to stew about everything. Then someone would
be sure to say, “Now, Mama!”
When grandchildren were born locally, she was sure to
be there, and help old Dr. Coffman bring them into
the world. She was always sure that I was going to
catch pneumonia, because I didn’t wear long cotton
stockings to school. For awhile, in deference to her,
my mother made me wear them in the winter. But just
as soon as I was a half-block away from home, I would
roll them down to below the knee.
After the death of Maud’s mother, her father, Frank
Wilson, came to live with them until his death. He
was a trim, neat little man, with upright posture and
snow white hair. Instead of coffee, he drank hot
water.
Holidays were special times for the clan to gather.
At Christmas time, Collis was in charge of supplying
the Christmas candy. What a thrill it was for the
4
grandchildren, when we were finally big enough to sit
at the big table.
Then after the meal, all the men would sit around and
discuss world affairs. Politics and religion came to
be forbidden subjects. Every one would get into such
arguments. To grandmother, President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt was “that man in the White House.” Each
grown-up had their own opinion on everything, and
none were timid about airing it. It was said that
“the Lambs were born to argue.” When I took debate in
high school, I had the family’s complete approval.
Maud died 22 January 1944, and after their son,
Harry, was discharged from the Army after World War
II, he and his wife came to live with his father.
Perhaps L. A. remembered the arrangement that he had
once had with his mother; Harry was to inherit the
house and farm for taking care of his father in his
last days. L. A. died very suddenly 11 September
1946, in Ford. He and Maud are both buried in the
Ford Cemetery, which lies in the section of ground
that they farmed, just east of town.

P-1. Paul H Lamb
Paul H Lamb, Sr., son of Luna Albert Lamb and Maud
Wilson, was born 23 November 1898, near Northbranch,
Jewell County, Kansas. Paul developed diabetes when
he was in high school. This was about the time that
insulin was discovered, and it saved his life.
He was married 12 February 1919 at Chenney in
Sedgewick County, Kansas, to Rosa Ann (Jo) Lohner.
She was born 4 February 1896, Prague (near Wilzetta),
Lincoln County, Oklahoma, daughter of Conrad Fredrick
Lohner and Martha Elizabeth Shockley.
A story in the family tells the great lengths Jo went
to change the date of her birth, to make herself 2
years younger than her husband. Their marriage
certificate says she was 20, instead of 22. She went
so far as to change her diary, This even caused
confusion about a sister’s age. Her immediate family
did not know of this, until son Jack began to do a
family history. Paul never did know.
6
Paul was raised in Ford, Kansas, and raised his
family there. His was a pharmacist, and proprietor of
a drug store. Jo died 28 March 1947, when they lived
in Peabody, Kansas, and was buried in Cheney, Kansas.
Paul was married again 31 December 1951 to Ruth
Fowler, widow, and resided in Simla and Greely,
Colorado. He died 18 September 1968 when they lived
in Denver, Colorado.
Although he had several amputations, every year of
his life he set a record for having survived diabetes
the longest. He was buried beside Jo in Cheney,
Kansas.
Ruth died the 15th or 16th of August 1986, probably
in Denver, Colorado. She was buried in Ford, Kansas,
18 August 1986.

P-2.Collis Perry Lamb
Collis Perry Lamb, son of Luna Albert Lamb and Maud
Nemaha
Wilson,
was
born
27
July
1900,
near
Northbranch, Jewell County, Kansas. When he was six
months old, he moved with his family by covered
wagon, to Ford, Ford County, Kansas, where he was
raised. He attended college on a scholarship to
Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas.
He was married 1 August 1924, to L-10 Leila Fae Lamb.
Because they were first cousins and could not be
married in the State of Kansas, they drove to
LaJunta, Colorado, to have the marriage ceremony
performed. Fae was born 17 April 1899, near
Northbranch, Kansas, daughter of Hale Hezekiah Lamb
and Mary Kelsay (See Family Group L)
The young couple set up housekeeping in Ford, where
C. P. went into partnership in a local meat market.
In April 1927, he opened his own grocery and meat
market on Main Street in Bucklin, Kansas, (9 miles
east) In those early days of business there was no
refrigeration as we know it now. At Ford the meat
case was cooled by ice. When ice was needed, C. P.
would drive at 3 am to a Dodge City ice plant that
stayed open 24 hours a day, and buy about eight 300pound cakes of ice. At Bucklin the walk-in box was
cooled by a refrigeration unit in the basement which
used ammonia gas that proved very dangerous. On two
occasions escaping ammonia gas literally drove them
from the building. Since there was no service company
to call when equipment broke down, he fixed it
himself. He was the first in the community to install
air conditioning.
8
He always did his own butchering and took great pride
in the speed in which he could do it, and the quality
of the meat which he sold. He bought his first movie
camera, in the early 1930’s, when they first became
available for home use. One of the things that he put
on film, was of him butchering a cow. From the time
that the shot was fired to kill the animal, he had
the job done in 19 minutes. We children thought it
was hilarious, when he would run that film backwards,
which made it appear that he sewed the animal back up
with his knife.
In those days the work of butchering meat was done in
an open pasture in the fresh air, and nearly always
on Sunday, when he wasn’t tied up at the store. It
was a great annoyance to him, when government
regulations made him do the work inside a building,
which he didn’t think was nearly so sanitary.
During
the
1930’s,
the
years
of
the
"great
depression," his love for his neighbor showed itself
in the way he furnished them groceries for long
periods of time without payment. For many it was the
difference between survival and “going broke.”
In those days, Saturday was the day that the farm
families came to town to sell their eggs and cream,
and do their trading, see the picture show, and visit
on Main Street. C. P. was very often open until
midnight on Saturday. I can remember that as a little
tot, I would get so sleepy, that I would find an
empty shelf, crawl in, and go to sleep.
For the two daughters of the family, clerking in the
store was our first work experience. When I was in
high school, during the summer I made $5.00 a week,
9
and thought I was quite well paid. There was no selfservice here. A customer would come in, and we would
write down the order, then assemble it at the
counter. Many of the housewives ordered by telephone,
and their groceries were delivered to them in a pickup that went out twice a day. Peanut butter came in
barrels, and it was not homogenized like it is today.
It separated from the oil, and dried out easily. We
sold it by scooping it into paper meat trays. Cookies
came in large square boxes, with cellophane windows:
people would order a few of this, a little of that.
Coffee came in beans, which were ground at the time
of sale. “Faultless Starch” provided what might have
been the first comic book. They were about 3” x 5",
10-12 pages of illustrated children’s stories, and
one was given free with each box of starch sold. When
oleo first came on the market, it was white, in pound
blocks. For many years, C. P. provided a creamery
service. We bought cream from the farmers. Fairmont
Creamery of Dodge City would pick it up.
C. P. took an interest in sleight-of-hand, and card
tricks. Even though he never would cheat at cards,
Fae got so she wouldn’t play with him, she thought he
was winning just too much. C. P. was an expert
checker player. During the afternoon lull, he and a
group of other merchants, would take a break, and
keep an on-going checker competition going. In the
years after he retired, the local domino and pool
hall was a gathering place for old cronies, although
he preferred a private game of dominoes.
In the thirties and forties, he kept a croquet court
in the back yard of our home. The whole neighborhood
enjoyed it. His idea of gardening was to raise prize
dahlias. Fae kept many flowers.

During World War II,
scarcity of help,
food
shortages, and rationing were problems he had to deal
with. He moved into a larger building and went to
self-service. During this time, and others, Fae
helped out by working in the store. In the 1950’s, C.
P. became a member of Associated Grocers, Inc.
In February 1961, he sold the business to Richard and
Kelsay Foust, and finally had more time for his other
interests - playing golf, traveling, and flying. C.
P. started flying in 1962, and at the age of 62, he
soloed a Cessna 172. He was part owner of several
airplanes. He owned a few acres of pasture land, on
the east of Bucklin. He liked to go out there and
putter around the barn, fixing fence, killing weeds,
checking cattle.
In February 1980, as a result of diabetes, C. P.
entered Bucklin Hospital, and was there 153 days,
enduring two amputations on his right foot, after
which he had to consent to the amputation of his
lower leg in Wichita. His goal was to solo in his
“Champ” airplane on his 80th birthday in the summer
of that year. Although he was not able to solo, he
flew it extensively the afternoon of his birthday.
A 50-year member of the Lions Club, he had a perfect
attendance for 50 years, and was secretary and/or
treasurer on and off for a total of 14 years. He was
a member of the City Council; a 54 year member of
Grand View Lodge, Past Master, and was secretarytreasurer over 32 years; Dodge City Council-Royal and
Select Masters; and Dodge City Commandery Knights
Templer.

C. P. and Fae served in many capacities as members of
the United Methodist Church.
C. P. had
been
treasurer,
steward,
and
a
member
of
the
Administrative Board. He died 20 February 1983, in
the hospital in Dodge City. Fae had been primary
Sunday School Superintendent, a member of the
Administrative Board, and United Methodist Women.
Although her health was failing, Fae continued to
live alone, even mowing her own lawn, until the last
couple of years, when she had a pacemaker. She took
sick suddenly, 27 June 1988, and died just as the
ambulance reached the hospital in Dodge City. Both
are buried in the Bucklin Cemetery.

Jack Fredrick Lamb
Jack Fredrick Lamb, son of Paul H Lamb and Rosa Ann
(Jo) Lohner, was born 23 February 1933 in Ford,
Kansas. In 1951, Jack was the last with the Lamb name
to graduate from Ford, Kansas High School; his
father, Paul, was the first Lamb to graduate in
1917. He met Joan Ann D’Ambrosia on a blind date in
Boston, and proposed on the second date. Eight months
later, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 6 December 1953,
they were married. Joan was born 29 October 1931 in
Cambridge, daughter of Ralph D’Ambrosia and Josephine
Ronchini.
Jack spent four years in the US Air Force; (18 months
on the island of Okinawa) before attending Colorado
School of Mines. He was graduated from the University
of Tulsa in 1961, with a degree in Petroleum
Engineering. He spent most of his working career in
26
Dallas, Texas. He worked as a safety engineer,
project engineer, and sales engineer. He is a
Registered Professional Control systems engineer.
Upon semi-retirement, in 1992, he began working for
an Australian company, which involved traveling to
Australia and Indonesia. Joan worked part time for a
rehabilitation nurse, retiring in 1975. In 1995, she
had a second bout with cancer, and died 16 August in
Dallas.
As a small boy, Jack remembers a story told by
Grandmother Maud Lamb about her kitchen table. It
had belonged to Hannah Small Lamb, her mother-in-law,
who brought it to Kansas from Iowa in a covered wagon
in 1881. Upon the death of Grandmother Maud, this was
given to her son Paul’s wife Jo. After Jo’s death,
this was stored in a garage of Alice Stwalley’s, and
suffered some damage. When Jack had a home of his
own, he had it restored for the use of his family. It
has been promised to his daughter Tina, who will take
it to Rochester, Minnesota.
Jack’s father, Paul, told the story a duck hunting
trip that was taken sometime in the 1920’s. Paul was
hunting with two friends from Ford on the Cimarron
River. To keep the ducks from seeing them, they had
to crawl on hands and knees for about 1/4 mile
through sandburrs. When they jumped the ducks, Paul
said the sky was black with birds. Every time they
fired a shot, they could see the sky through the hole
made by falling ducks. Because there was no limit,
they killed 75 ducks. The old gun was retired by Jack
in 1972. Jack believes that story is what aroused his
interest in duck hunting, which he does each fall and
winter. He now hunts with duck decoys that he has
carved. Jack also collects the old wooden decoys.

Jack was married/2 in Dallas, Texas, 25 June 1997, to

52
the 1997 alumni Award for Outstanding Public Service
by Wichita State University.
“I believe to be successful in municipal government,
a person must have - the personal qualities of
honesty, sincerity, and integrity.” This was an
excerpt from “Statement of Goals” written by John
Deardoff in 1982” on the application admission to WSU
MUA/MPA program.
“Fifteen years later, these words truly represent
John’s career in public service. He is a committed
professional with a visible dedication to strong
values.
“In 1979, John received his BA degree in political
science from St. Mary of the Plains College. He
immediately launched his public management career by
serving as Administrative Aide and Administrative
Assistant in Dodge City. Within three years, John
realized a masters degree was imperative if his
career was to further advance, and he began his
master of Urban Affairs program at Wichita State
University in 1982. Wasting little time, John took a
“heavy” course load the initial three semesters,
served as a graduate assistant for one year and began
his internship with the city of Dodge City in 1983 He
was awarded the Mater of Urban Affairs (MPA) degree
in May 1984.

graduation,
he
returned
to
Dodge
City
government, but his career was already on the move.
He was immediately appointed Dodge City’s Assistant
City Manager. In July 1985, he became the City
Manager at Sterling, Kansas. Four years later in May
1989,
his
successful
public
service
journey
continued, this taking him to Hutchinson to serve as
Assistant City Manager. In July of 1994, John
53
returned once again to Dodge City, this time as City
Manager.
“While it may seem John’s career has come full circle
- who else would keep returning to Dodge! His friends
and Colleagues know how much more still lies ahead
for him. Described by his peers as honest, courteous,
professional, understanding, straight forward, and
knowledgeable, John is highly respected and serves as
an excellent example of what a city manager should
represent. He enjoys public service, which is evident
in his relationships with colleagues and the citizens
he serves, for his achievements.”
