ANOTHER AGED RESIDENT ENTERS ETERNAL REST
Charles W. LAWRENCE (SRGP 07749) Passes Away at His Home Here
Thursday, After Short Illness—Death Due to Age. On Thursday, July 24, at
9 a.m. occurred the death of Charles W. Lawrence, an old, well known and
highly esteemed resident of Mansfield. Death was due to the general breakdown
customary to old age. Although he had been failing in health for the past
five years, nevertheless his tireless energy kept him busy at gardening
and doing other odd jobs about the home. About two weeks ago, however,
he was forced to give up. Everything was provided in the way of medical
skill and care to bring about his recovery, but for about two days in advance,
the relatives and friends were told that the end was near. He was born
in Rutland Township on March 9, 1845. His parents were Norris and Belva
Ett Lawrence, of Lawrence Corners. On September 11, 1873, he was married
to Miss Charity Jenkins and to this union were born two sons, Martin V.
and J. Clarence. His entire live was spent in and about Rutland Township
and Mansfield borough where he enjoyed a wide acquaintance.He joined the
M. E. Church at Lawrence corners when a very young man and was a faithful
member there until he moved to Mansfield, and joined the M. C. Church,
which he attended regularly until poor health made it necessary for him
to keep near his home. The funeral services were held at his late home
on East Main Street, Mansfield, and due to the absence of the Methodist
Pastor, Reverend F. P. Simmons, the Reverend Ernest C. Potter, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, officiated. The interment was in the family
plot in Prospect Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Charity Lawrence;
two sons Martin V., an employee of the N.Y.C.R.R., and J. Clarence, a clerk
in the Baynes Shoe Store; also a number of cousins. Mr. Lawrence, or "Charley"
as he was familiarly called, was a friend to all an enemy of none. He was
devoted to his family and was always ready to do his share in anything
that might be desired of him. He will be greatly missed, not only by his
immediate family, but by all who have been in the habit of coming in daily
contact with him and enjoying his pleasant powers of conversation and characteristic
cheerfulness. (handwritten on article 1924)
