Re: Harry "Lloyd" Lamb

Hi Lawrence:

Thanks for the extra article.

Your missing words are:

Loren Blanchard Ells & Vance Arthur “Dudge” Delahunt.

When Harry Lloyd Lamb’s wife died in 1922, some of the children were adopted out. Dorothy Bernice was adopted by the Kirkpatrick’s.

Blanchard Ells’ death record wasn’t on the N.B. Vitals Website.

Three Men Killed When Tug, Freighter Collide in Harbor
SAINT JOHN, NB March 20 - Three of the nine man crew of the tug Ocean Hawk
II drowned here yesterday when the unbound freighter Maud knifed through the
little craft and sent her splintered hull to the bottom.
The veteran tug men who perished in the mid-harbor collision were Lloyd
Lamb, 66, a native of Parrsboro, NS, Thomas A. Sherrard 39 and Blanchard
Ells, aged about 70, Port Greville, NS.
The big merchantman crashed into the tug amidships as the small craft veered
toward her port bow to take aboard a hawser. Her sharp bow plates cut into
the wooden-hulled tug, crushing and rolling her over.
Witnesses said there was a cloud of steam from the tug and when it lifted
the tug had disappeared.
