Farmer.
Born at Parsborough, Nova Scotia on 11 January 1861, son of James Lemuel Lamb (1845-1908) and Mary McKeown (?-1866), the family came to Manitoba in 1882 and settled on a farm on Section 19, Township 15, Range 17 near Minnedosa. Charles Lamb quit school at the age of 13 to help on the farm, also working as a carpenter until 1909 when his father died. He took over the family farm. On 15 December 1890, he married Jane Ann Millham (1872-1951) at Shellmouth and they had seven children: Mary Matilda Lamb (1891-?), Charles Lemuel Lamb (1893-?), Colby Cyrus Lamb (1894-?), Alice Lillian Lamb (1899-?), Bertha Elizabeth Lamb (1904-?), Everett Clifford Lamb (1905-?), and Albert George Lamb (1911-?). He died at Minnedosa on 20 April 1932 and was buried in the Minnedosa Cemetery.
