Death of Abbott Lawrence

A despatch from Boston this morning brings
us intelligence of the death of Abbott Lawrence.
an event which the recent accounts of his feeble
health and failing strength have rendered every
day more probable. He died at eleven O'Clock
this morning. His disease is reported to have
been congestion ofthe liver. As well known
member of an enterprisng wealthy and munif.
cent family. his loss will he deeply felt in his own
state and will attract attention throughout the
country, through which he was extensively known
rs one of the chief supporters of the great man
ufaeturing interest and ina lesser degree as
public man.
Mr.. Lawrence was born in 1872 in the village
ofGroton, in Massachusetts, and was therefore
about 63 years Of age, at the time of his deceusp
and probably in the prime of his mental powers
His father was a respectable farmer of Middlescx
county, of limited means, who was too poor to
give his large family of children any better edu
cation than the village common school afforded.
In 1s0S he went to Boston, whittier his elder
brother Amos had preceded him. and engaged in
business a limited scale a retail merchant.
Having been successful in this undertakings in
the course of few years he went into partner =
ship with Amos an importing merchant The
firm did a large business in British fabrics and
for several years Mr.. Lawrence resided in Eng
land as purchasing partner.
lie continued in this branch of trade, with n
high reputation for integrity and business capac.
ity, until the establishment of manufactures in
New England, when he left the importing bust
ness, and invested largely in the calico mills of
Lowell, with which he continued ever afterwards
to be intimately identified. In this business, in
which he amassed princsy fortune, and aided
largely in building up the city of Lowell to its
present prosperous condition, he was for many
years the head of the great firm of A. & A. Law
renee * Co.
In lS35,Mr. Lawrence first entered public life.
and until 1889 served as representative from
Boston, in the twenty fourth and twenty fifth

among oar trans Atlantic cousins His fine ap-
pearance and dignifed niiability coupled with
