JOHN
A. LAMBERT, M. D. Among the popular, successful
and rising young physicians and surgeons of Indianapolis
Dr. John A. Lambert is one of the most prominent.
Born at Rockville, Parke County, Ind., Mar. 4, 1860, he is a
son of James R. and Minerva (Green) Lambert. He
remained in his native town until he was eleven years old
and their received his early schooling. In 1871 the
family removed to Indianapolis, where his father entered the
drug trade, and there he was a student in the public schools
and graduated from the high school in 1875. During the
intervals in his school life he spent his time in his
father's drug store learning pharmacy and gaining a
practical knowledge of the drug business, and after leaving
school he continued in his father's employ and as his
father's partner until 1886. Meantime (in 1880) he had
entered the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, graduating
from the institution in 1882. In 1886 he severed his
business partnership with his father and opened an
independent drug store, which he managed with considerable
success until 1889, when he disposed of it in order to
complete his studies in medicine and surgery, which, in his
spare time, he had carried forward to such a stage that he
was ready to take lectures. Entering the Central
College of Physicians and Surgeons, he was graduated there,
from in the class of 1891, with the degree of M. D., and
immediately entered upon the practice of his profession in
the northern part of the city. His success has been
most substantial financially and most flattering
professionally, and he has attracted a large, influential
and constantly increasing patronage. Indeed, he at
once took a position in the medical profession of
Indianapolis that of itself demonstrated the degree of faith
reposed in him by his older professional brethren. In
the very year of his graduation from the Central College of
Physicians and Surgeons he was elected to the lectureship on
pharmacy, a position in the faculty of that institution
which he still holds, and he has also been assistant
demonstrator of anatomy in that college. He is a
member of the American Pharmaceutical Association, of the
Marion County Medical Society, of the Indiana State Medical
Society, and of the American Medical Association. When
the Indiana State Pharmaceutical Association came into
existence, in 1882, Dr. Lambert was one of its
organizers and charter members. He has always taken an
active and helpful interest in each of these several
societies and is esteemed as a prominent and useful member
by his associates in them. Great as are the profitable
demands upon the Doctor's time he has never yet refused his
professional services to the deserving poor who have needed
them and yet been unable to pay for them, and the instances
when he has thus donated the benefits of his knowledge and
skill in behalf of suffering humanity have been so numerous
as to give him a warm place in the hearts of many grateful
people. Dr. Lambert was married Oct. 17, 1883,
to Miss Sarah E. Brundage, a native of New York, and
daughter of Reuben N. and Ann (Sullivan) Brundage,
and they have one child, a son, named Frank B., who
was born Sept. 6, 1884. In politics the Doctor is a
stanch Republican.
