This was sent to my Mother (Evelyne McCracken, daughter of Ida. C.) from a daughter of Cora, with a note
“I don’t know if you have seen this or not. I had Photostat copies made. .My mother (Cora) of the family was the only one born in Grand Island date of her birth was Nov. 27-1876â€
It appears to have been copied from a newspaper, which would have been dated from 1888 when Amy married and before 1895 when Cora married. I copied it just as it was sent to my mother. Perhaps it will be of some interest to others in the Lamon family. Would enjoy contacts with others from the Lamon family if any are interested.Tenn. branch. David Lamon—Emanuel born 1876—Elbert b. 1832—Ida b—1875—Evelyne b. 1912---Joan Anglin, granddaughter of Cora Lamon McCracken.
Elbert Lamon was brought up to the life of a farmer, by his father Manuel Lamon and like the majority of boys has followed in his proginator's footsteps, and is now one of the leading agriculturists and stockmen of Hall County. He is a native of about (Hoosier State), born in Harrison County, June 10, 1831, whither his parents moved from their native State of Tennessee in 1829, both being a German parentage. Here the father was engaged in farming until his death, which occurred about 1868, his wife surviving him about 20 years, her death occurring at the advanced age of 97 years. Mr. Lamon was a man well known and highly esteemed for his many worthy qualities, and was for 12 consecutive years magistrate in his district. He was also a faithful soldier in the war of 1812. Elbert Lamon attained his manhood in Harrison County, Indiana making his home with his father, and was married there November 23, 1854 to Priscilla Green, a daughter of John and Leah Green, natives of the Bluegrass State. Mrs. Lamon was born and raised in Kentucky, and after her marriage she and Mr. Lamon settled on a farm in Crawford County, which they continue to till until the fall of 1874, when they came to Nebraska. From that time until the spring of 1880 Mr. Lamon rented land, but in the last named-year located on a farm he now occupies, which consists of 274 of fine land. He has just sold 200 acres, and now has a neat little farm of 74 acres, all under cultivation and well improved with Exxon buildings. He has a fine young bearing orchard of about 800 trees, also some cherry and plum trees. He has always been a Republican in his political views, and has served as a delegate to numerous County conventions. He has been a member of the school board in his district, and socially is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Douel Chapter number 11. His family consists of the following children: Manuel (who is married and resides in Sherman County, Nebraska) William C. (Who is married and resides in Grand Island), John, Walter, Virginia A. (Wife of Charles Labatt, of Los Angeles, California) Mary J.., (wife of E.C. Walker, a sketch of whom appears in this work) Amy E (Wife of Austin Roberts, of Decatur Countyy, Iowa) Minerva, Ida C., and Cora M..
