Notes from: LINDA MAUREGARD
Robert N. Lambertson was reared on the home farm, and in his
youth attended the log cabin subscription schools with their
puncheon floors, slab seats and clapboard roof, in which he
received the rudiments of an education. In April of 1852, he
went to Sangamon County, Illinois, making the journey from his
native county by wagon, he having never even seen a railroad
till that year. Four months later he removed to Peoria, of the
same State, and the following January he went to Stark County,
Illinois. He was married March 11, 1857, to Maria E. Stanley, a
daughter of John Stanley. They have had nine children born to
them - Frank E., Carrie A., William N., Nellie M., James C.,
Charles, Roy and Fannie E.

While living in Illinois Mr. Lambertson worked by the year for
Jacob Emery, for a period of seven years, and for seven years
was engaged in farming of his own account. He left Stark County
in September, 1867, since which he has made his home in Clarke
County, Iowa. On leaving his native State he had but $10.75,
and was obliged to drive a team to defray the expenses of his
passage to Illinois and his board. He has now 440 acres of
choice land, which he has accumulated by his own industry and
persevering energy, and to-day he is classed among the
prosperous citizens of Troy Township. Mrs. Lambertson is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

Dolly FLANSBURG

Flansburg is an Old Dutch name appearing in New York as early as 1716. It was then Vlensburgh. Later it became Flensburgh, Flansborough, Flansburgh, and Flansburg. The Old Dutch Church records of Albany, New York, contain the names and the dates of the births of the first 3 children of John Flansburg and his wife Catharine Becker. These children were born before their parents moved west. The names and dates agree with those given in a Family Bible in the possession of (Mr. Luther) Julia Stanley Keeney, Wayne, Nebraska. This Bible formerly belonged to Catherine Becker Flansburg and was given by her to her granddaughter, Catharine Margaret Stanley, her namesake. Catharine Margaret Stanley was the mother of Julia Stanley Keeney.
