=====================================================
Grandfather Grant Lamb had died of cancer in 1937.Elvis Lamb was John E. Lamb, my father's youngest brother.Allene was his wife.
Harold Lamb in the record was the son of Dad's brother Ambrose Lamb.Harold was born in Arkansas on 9 Feb 1922 to AmbroseLamb and Lois Lottie Green.
Harold would enter the military and become a Tech Sgt.He married Lucille Williams and would be stationed near Lumberton, NorthCarolina, where the Lumbee Indians reside.
On 23 Apr 1948 an angry, jealous, and probably drunken Indian would shoot and kill Haroldina roadside incident involving other soldiers who were dating the Indian girls. Harold had left a letter in progress after they pressed him to drive for them.
Justice was never served in Harold's death.The incident would have a profound effect on Harold's brother Waylen Lloyd Lamb, who would become a deputy United States Marshal in South Carolina.
My brother Doyle, who could really embellish a story, said Waylen wrestled with thoughts of revenge and eventually found the man operating a small store.He let the man know who he was, while at the same time brushing his jacket back to reveal the large gun in its holster.And then the Marshal's badge.The shaken man was a broken speciman of humanity ...an object to be pitied.He had created his own prison and punishment.Waylen walked out... leaving him trembling ... but finally free in his own spirit.
