	DANIEL H. LAMBERT, one of the substantial farmers of Clarke county, is
highly esteemed in the community, where he has resided many years. Following is
a brief outline of his personal history: He was born in the State of New York,
March 18, 1830, a son of George T. and Hannah (Snover) Lambert, natives of the
Empire State and descendants of the early New England settlers. The father was a
brick-mason by trade, and his son was well trained in this occupation. In 1855
the family emigrated to the Pacific coast, making the journey by water, but
Daniel H. remained until 1860 in Colorado mines, having emigrated there in 1858.
In 1860 he, too, set out for the land of promise, but took the more tedious
route overland.
	Mr. Lambert has come to be recognized as one of the leading agriculturists
of the county:
	he owns a tract of 440 acres of choice farming land. He has placed eighty
acres under good cultivation; has planted three acres in fine varieties of
fruits, and has 200 acres of natural timber. He carries on a general farming
business, and for a number of years had a dairy. Although he is now past
sixty-three years of age he retains the vigor of early manhood; he has
contributed his share to the development of fanning lands in this locality, and
has aided in demonstrating that Clarke county is at least one of the garden
spots of the country. In politics he is a stanch and steadfast Republican, and
for several years served the people of this community as Justice of the Peace.
	His marriage to Miss Sarah Snover occurred in New York State, March 8, 1854.
Four children were born to them, two are deceased and those living being Edward
and Eva, the latter the wife of Joshua E. Metcalfe, a farmer living in Clarke
county. Mrs. Lambert is now deceased.
