Selma Martha Lambert
Selma Martha Lambert, age 95 of Howard Lake, died Saturday,

Selma was born March 7, 1906, in Albion Township, the daughter

On April 1, 1906, Selma was baptized into the Christian
faith at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Middleville Township, by the Rev. William
Meyer; and confirmed in her faith at the same church by the Rev. Albert
Streufert May 4, 1919.
