Mr. Lamb has been upon our streets until a short time before his death. In his case the vital forces seem to give out all at once and the heart failed in its action. The machinery of the body had done its work and was worn out. Jacob Whitman Lamb was born at New Haven, Conn., May 21, 1823, and when a boy moved to Hoosic Falls, N.

Ken Lamb started his surveying career in Wyoming in 1955. At the
time much of the work involved locating mining claims (primarily
uranium), and oil leasing, drilling and processing claims, and
private and public land boundaries. The family moved to California
in 1965, where Ken worked for the City of Pleasanton Engineering
Department.
In 1977 Ken decided to start his own surveying firm. He, and wife
Edith, did most of the preliminary work to establish the business,
aided on a part-time basis by sons Mick and Gary. In 1978 Gary came
into the business on a full time basis while Mick returned to
college and finished out his four-year degree in Surveying and
Photogrammetry – working for the family business on holidays and
vacations. Ken’s specialty has always been boundary work, and he
worked for numerous clients, both public and private, during his
years in business.
Ken set a high standard for Lamb Land Surveying. He always went
above and beyond the minimum requirements for a job to ensure that
no evidence was overlooked. Many other surveyors who work in our
area have told us that if they found a Lamb survey covering or
adjacent to their project, or a Lamb survey monument at a property
corner, that they knew they had accurate information on which to
base their survey.
Ken retired in 1997, the twentieth anniversary of the business.
Lamb Surveying, Inc. was incorporated in 1998.
