Archie Thomas Lambert, born August 6, 1856, was the eighth child born to James and Loucrecia Lambert. Archie Thomas left Burnsville when he was still a young man due to the trouble with Joe Marlar which finally resulted in Marlar cutting to death Archie's brother James Monroe Lambert. James and Arch (as he was known ) was in the woods cutting wood when Joe Marlar happened by. Marlar had some whiskey and offered a drink to the Lamberts. An argument developed between Marlar and the Lamberts which ended with Arch trying to cut Marlar with an ax. Tempers failed to cool, and one night a few days later, James stood talking to one of the Marlars in the town of Burnsville, when Joe Marlar walked by. When he got to James, he cut him across the lower part of the stomach and kept walking. James was picked up and carried into a store and laid on the counter. Joe Marlar later came into the store and asked what had happened. James is supposed to have said, "You know what happened, you s.o.b., you cut me." James was cut on the 22nd day of January 1887 and died two days later on the 24th.
In order to protect Arch he was sent to live with his oldest brother John in McNairy County, Tn. The above account was told to me by my father, Archie Lee Lambert who was the son of Archie Thomas, and also by Everette McMeans, whose father Jimmy McMeans (some spell it McMinns), who was in the town of Burnsville the night the cutting took place. He was an eye witness to much of what occurred that night. The court docket of J.T. Finley, justice of the peace, reads as follows: "That the aforesaid James M. (Monroe) Lambert came to his death on the morning of the 24th of January, 1887 by a wound made by a sharp instrument, piercing him in the body just below the stomach in the right side, penetrating the intestines, causing hemorrhaging. Said instrument being in the hands of Joe Marlar on the 22nd day of January in the county of Tishomingo, State of Mississippi.
