instituted search, About o'clock
he was found pinned to the ground by
the body Of tree which had fallen
across his chest and abdomen, killing
hinf, it is supposed, instantly. The
presumption is that the tree had been
lodged by some vines, and that he
had climbed up to cut them when the
tree iell throwing him under L. His
remains were taken home and inferred
in the cemetery at Williamsport Wed

OBITUARY..

LAWRENCE A. TEwRs was horn in IL
linois, Feb, 1867. When about twenty
years old he came with his parents to
Colorado aud settled on ranch some
seven miles south Of Rocky Ford.
Through industry and economy he accu-
mulated nice tract OF land which would
have made him a very elegant home for
all time to come, but in the midst OF life
we are in the valley OF the shadow OF
death. A few years ago he had n spell
Of mountain fever the effects of which
left diseased heart, from which he suf-
fered intensely at times and which final
Iy resulted in his death. At the age OF
lS he became . Christian in faith and
practice, which proved to be source OF
great comfort to him in his last days.
Just before breathing his last he looked
at his mother and very much composed
said, "Dear mother, don't weep for me.
am going to be at rest. II 10 beat for
me to 90. I am perfectly willing to die.
We will not be separated long"
Bro. Lawrence was a good man, loved
by all and an honored member OF the X.
p. lodge.
None will miss him 80 much rs his
dear old mother, aud may her sons last
words as well as the Christian's hope
strengthen her.
The funeral services were conducted
at his home, II miles south OF town by
burial service which was very impressive
ly and solemnly performed with much
credit to the order. Is. l.. NJ.
