(January 16, 1811 - September 11, 1867) A native of Virginia, William McKendree Lambdin was the son of a Methodist minister. In 1834, he married Phebe G. Lamb, and after her death in 1849 he married Susan A. Thompson (1830-1910) in 1855. Two years later, the Lambdins moved to Texas and settled in Waco. Ordained in the Methodist church, Lambdin began his ministry in Texas as president of Waco Female College in 1857. He later served churches in Bosqueville, Houston and Waco, and was presiding elder of the Fort Worth district from 1860 to 1864. He died of yellow fever in 1867. Recorded - 2001 |
