LAMB Is one of the well known sheep raisers of Paisley, carrying on an extensive business and owning valuable ranch property in Lake county. He was born in Cadiz, Henry county, Indiana, May 6, 1860, and is a son of Thomas E. and Helen M. (Blair) Lamb. The father was born in Henry county, February 22, 1834, and the mother was born in Deersville, Ohio. The death of the latter occurred in Pittsburg, Kansas, in 1876. The parents were married in Henry county, Indiana, whither Helen Blair went with her parents when about twelve years of age. The father first went to Kansas to investigate the possibilities of establishing a home there and a year later was joined by his family. His son Edmond came to Oregon in 1887 and six years ago was joined by his father, who removed from Kansas to this state and has since made his home with his son. for thirty-five years the father followed the carpenter's trade, but afterward he engaged in farming. In his family were eight children, five of whom are living; Edmond O.; Mabel, the wife of Joseph Daughterty, of Henry county, Indiana; Elmer B., a farmer of Sears, California; Mrs. Rose Scott, of Boise, Idaho; and Lorenzo D., a coal miner of Pittsburg, Kansas. Edmond O. Lamb resided at home until twenty years of age and afterward worked in a zinc smelter at Pittsburg, Kansas, for several years. He then engaged in farming in that state for two years, subsequent to which time he came to Oregon. Here he was connected with the sheep-raising industry in the employ of others and finally began running sheep on his own account. He has about forty-five hundred sheep leased out and is a well known representative of that industry, thoroughly informed concerning the best methods of breeding and caring for sheep. He is the owner of one hundred and sixty acres in Chewaucan valley where he now resides and he also owns mountain land and a ranch a mile east of Paisley which he devotes to the raising of hay and which is headquarters for his stock. His ranch is all under ditch and produces about two hundred tons of wild hay annually. He has free water from the Chewaucan river and his property ranks with the leading sheep-raising ranches of this district. He and his father reside alone and the former has passed the seventy-eighth milestone on life's journey. The son is active and energetic in promoting his business interests, has studied sheep-raising in the northwest from every possible standpoint and is meeting with success in his undertaking. In politics Mr. Lamb is an earnest republican and while he does not seek nor care for public office he keeps well informed concerning the salient questions of the day. He is identified with the various departments of Odd Fellowship, including the lodge, camp and order of Rebekah, and he is also a Master Mason and a member of the Eastern Star.
