W. A. Lawrence on March 30, 1871. Dur
ing tho first three years of their married
life they resided in M0rkton, but business
opportunities led to their removal to BriG-
toi whore they have since resided. She
had quiet and geut,e ways ondellinS her
self to every one about her. 50 mindful Of
the comfort and happiness Of others Tho
POOR were richly supplied, none ever went
from her door unadcd. and in church and
society WORK she could he depended upon
while in health. She was resident Of the

time president of the Library association
