She was 72 years of age, and had been in feeble health for a long time. For the past two months she had been unable to leave her home.
Mrs. Lawson is survived by the following loving children: One daughter, Mrs. Kate Fincher, and five sons, Jesse Lawson, Charles Lawson, Robert Lawson, Munro Lawson and Berry Lawson, all of Union county.
Mrs. Lawson was for many years a consistent member of Lower Fairforest church, and her beautiful life was a benediction to all who knew her. She lived in the spirit of Christ, and was always ready to minister to others. She was a faithful wife and a devoted mother, and has left to her children a rich heritage, indeed.
