Oliver J. LAMBORN, aged 89, Civil War veteran, died while lying in a swing on the front porch of his home in Kewanna at 12:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Death, which was unexpected, was caused by heart trouble. Mr. Lamborn had worked in the garden of his home during the morning and it is thought this labor taxed his strength. Oliver Lamborn was born in Ohio, Mar. 1839, son of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron LAMBORN. He lived in the Kewanna neighborhood all of his life excepting a few years which he spent in Pulaski County. He was united in marriage in Peru in 1868 to Miss Martha NESBIT who died at the home of their daughter in South Bend, June 15, 1926. Mr. Lamborn had followed the occupation of a farmer, and was a member of the G.A.R. Upon entering the civil war he was enrolled in the 39th Indiana Volunteers, which was changed to a cavalry regiment. It was then called the 8th Indiana Cavalry. Being captured at the battle of Stone River, he spent three months and twenty-one days in Libby prison.
Survivors are four children, two sons,Walter [LAMBORN] of Hammond and Frank [LAMBORN] of South Bend, and two daughters, Mrs. Albert SMITH, Hammond and Mrs. Carrie SMITH, of South Bend. Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 at his home in Kewanna with the Rev. W. S. HARGRAVES, minister of the Kewanna M.E. Church officiating. Burial will be made in the Kewanna I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
