Mr. Lambert met a horrible death on the streets of Harrisonburg on Monday, when he fell under the wheels of a giant tracton engine and was crushed.
He had just bought the big piece of machinery from a Harrisonburg firm, and was starting on his return journey of forty-five miles across the Alleghany Mountains.
He was walking near the machine when he stumbled and fell under the wheels.
His driver stopped the engine at once, but not in time to save his life.
The crowd that gathered took the injured man into a store, where he died before the arrival of a physician.
His neck was broken and his head and side crushed fearfully.
He is survived by his father, Amby Lambert, of Rockingham and his wife and six children in Pendleton County.
