C.C. Lamb was from North Carolina, but called Escambia County home. He cut his teeth on determination and a hard work ethic to provide for his family and make a better life for them. It’s hard to come by an agriculturalist that was knowledgeable in veterinarian science,animal husbandry, mechanical abilities,custom combining, row crop production and all the other skills he had. “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes….rest in peace, Mr. Lamb.
