H.R. No. 1120
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The Stanley Lamb farm has been an integral part of
  the farming community in the Texas Panhandle for more than a
  century; and
         WHEREAS, Located near Groom, the Stanley Lamb farm traces its
  origins to 1919, when Jesse and Eva Hunt moved from Missouri to
  Texas and purchased 60 acres of land, followed by an additional
  acquisition of 160 acres; in January 1930, Mr. Hunt sold the
  original 60 acres to his daughter and son-in-law, Stella Hunt Lamb
  and Ernest Lamb; and
         WHEREAS, Ernest Lamb subsequently bought a house and moved it
  from the community of Rockledge to the farm; facing Route 66, the
  structure became the new home for a growing family, with Mr. Lamb
  adding on a kitchen, dining room, washroom, and bathroom; in time,
  he planted seven elm trees in honor of the seven children that he
  and his wife raised; and
         WHEREAS, The farm was conveyed to Stella Hunt Lamb when her
  husband passed away in 1966; the couple's son Stanley Lamb
  purchased the property in February 1975, nearly a year after his
  mother's death, and he and his family worked the land; today, the
  farm continues to produce wheat, and the old house, which is still
  standing, holds the memories of many happy family occasions and of
  the strength and fortitude that was required to endure such
  hardships as the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression; and
         WHEREAS, The Stanley Lamb farm has been owned and operated by
  the same family for over 100 years, and the family is indeed
  deserving of recognition for helping to carry forward the rich and
  important agricultural tradition of the Lone Star State; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the Lamb family for its enduring
  involvement in Texas farming and extend to its members sincere best
  wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Lamb family as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
