General Notes: Husband - Edwin Houston Lamberton


He was educated at Phillip's Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in June, 1876; at Columbia College Law school, New York city, and the University of Leipsic, Germany. He studied law also with his brother, R. G. Lamberton, and April 21, 1879, was admitted to the Venango bar. On the 18th of October, 1881, he was admitted to the supreme court of Pennsylvania, and May 3, 1882, to the supreme court and state courts of Minnesota. On the 30th of June, 1882, he was admitted to the district courts of the third judicial district of Dakota territory, and December 20, 1883, to the circuit court of the United States for the district of Minnesota. From May, 1882, until December, 1884, he resided at Moorehead, Minnesota, where, as attorney for the St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Manitoba Railway Company at that point, he had an extensive practice in the various courts of Minnesota and Dakota. He also took an active part in politics, serving on the Democratic county committee, and as a delegate to the Democratic state convention at St. Paul assisted in sending a solid delegation to support Grover Cleveland's nomination for president in the national convention at Chicago. In the campaign that followed he supported the Democratic cause and made many public addresses in behalf of its candidates. In the winter of 1884 Mr. Lamberton, having purchased his brother's law library, succeeded him in practice at Franklin and after that time continued in the active duties of his profession in the Pennsylvania courts.
