Found this article while transcribing obituaries, sadly, the next week's edition with the obituary is missing from the set of archives (Scotia, Nebraska newspaper) with which I am working. If I find it among other archived papers, I will post it here, but thought this might still be helpful:

G. E. LAMBERT CALLED BY DEATH
Highly Respected Scotia Man Passes Away Early This Morning In Grand Island Hospital
G. E. Lambert passed away this morning at one o'clock at the St. Francis hospital in Grand Island Neb. “Gus,” as he was best known, was but a young man, having at the time of his death, attained the age of 29 years.
Mr. Lambert was taken sick last Thursday and went to bed in the evening. Friday afternoon he was taken to the hospital at Grand Island to undergo an operation for appendicitis.
The operation was considered successful and he was getting along in fine shape until late Tuesday evening when his condition became serious, having developed peritonitis. From the time this complication set in, his condition became worse, and the end came at one this morning.
Relatives were called yesterday evening. Mrs. Lambert and two brother-in-laws were with him to the end. His father and brothers arrived a short time after he had passed away.
Mr. Lambert had been the U.P. agent here for 4 years and during that time has made a wide circle of warm friends.
He was a man of noble character and commanded the highest respect of all who knew him. He was thorough in all his work from the most minute detail to the accomplishment of his highest ideals. His business associates and friends knew him as a man of his word, his friendship was true blue and he was ever ready to aid a worthy cause. He was a devoted father and husband, a lover of his home and a good provider. His sincere and high ideals were never questioned.
He was an active member of the American Legion, Masonic Lodge and the Business Men's Club. The Legion and Masonic Lodge especially will miss his smiling countenance for in both he was always an active worker. He held an office of no little importance in the Masonic lodge.
He leaves to mourn his departure – his wife; two children, Corrine and Gus, Jr; his parents; four brothers; four sisters; and a multitude of loving relatives and friends.
Mere words cannot express our regret for his untimely death for as a close friend and business associate we have always termed him “A man among men.”
Funeral services will be held in Shelton, Sunday afternoon, March 7.
Complete obituary will appear next week.
