Marshall Lambert

Funeral services for Marshall E. Lambert, 90, of Ekalaka were held Monday afternoon, Sept. 12, 2005, in the Carter County High School Gymnasium in Ekalaka, with Tom Stieg officiating. Burial followed at Beaver Lodge Cemetery in Ekalaka.

Mr. Lambert died peacefully at Dahl Memorial Nursing Home in Ekalaka on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2005.

Born Dec. 2, 1914, in Baker to Brice and Myrtle Castleberry Lambert, he spent his early years in Plevna and other towns along the Milwaukee Railroad where his father worked. At age eight, in 1923, he was orphaned when a tornado near Bucyrus, N.D., and destroyed a house his family was visiting, killing his parents and a younger sister. The remainder of his school years were spent near Ekalaka, where he was raised by his grandparents, Frank and Ida Castleberry. He also enjoyed spending summers with an aunt, Nell Rife, and cousin, Bob Kinsey, north of Baker.

After graduating from Carter County High School in Ekalaka in 1932, Mr. Lambert sold his horse and saddle and headed for California to attend school at Fresno State College where he studied business. School and adventure drew him then to the gold fields of Alaska and the University of Alaska where he found himself at the outbreak of World War II.

Joining the United States Army Air Corps, Mr. Lambert completed flight training at Randolph Field, Texas, in 1942; and completed 50 combat missions in the Mediterranean theater as a bomber pilot.

He married Dora Ann Miller while in Texas in 1942, and the couple enjoyed 63 years of marriage before his death. Two sons were born, Brice in 1945 and Russell in 1946, and the family settled in Ekalaka following World War II, where Mr. Lambert taught science at Carter County High School until his retirement in 1975.

Mr. Lambert, as director of the Carter County Museum, a position he assumed upon returning to Ekalaka in 1946, spent summers pursuing an intense interest in paleontology, and finally assembled a duckbill dinosaur skeleton, now a centerpiece of the museum. He remained as museum director until retiring from that position in 1996. His years of effort resulted in a national award for amateur paleontology.

Throughout his life, Mr. Lambert maintained his curiosity about things around him, and dedicated himself to sharing his interests with others.

His survivors include his wife, Dora; one son, Brice, and his wife, Lois; a granddaughter, Katie; a grandson, Reed; and two cousins, Fulton Castleberry and Lee Castleberry.

He was preceded in death by one son, Russell; and an infant granddaughter, Morgan. The family suggests that memorials be sent to the Carter County Museum.
