Chester R and Supreme Lambert and their five children, Art, Joe, Leon, Betty (Inman) and Wayne, moved into a home on 2 acres in the 4200 block of S High in 1938.
There were only a few other houses around at the time. There were dirt roads and few things around, many years later more houses and businesses moved in.
Grandmother worked the farn and took care of their children. Grandfather worked at his garage, known as Lambert's Garage.
In January 1942 their sixth child, Mary (Swearengin) was born. Grandfather died in 1973 and Grandmother kept the house but would stay with her daughter, Mary, and family. In 1981, she sold the house, which was moved to another loacation in the southeast part of the city. Grandmother lives with her daughter, Mary.
Grandmother was 81 years old in March. During the day she keeps her 20 month old great grandson. The house may be gone but the memories still linger.
