Death of y. w. LawtOn.

Samuel Wheeler Lawton passed away
at his home on Madison Ave-, Friday
evening last, about IL o'clock, death
coming quite unexpectedly as a result Of
neuralgia of the heart, his last sickness
covering a period of about four days
only.
Deceased was born in Windsor, Me-,
Jan. 4, 1928, and was one of a large
family of children, of whom there are
now remaining two brothers and two
sisters residing In far away States.
Mr.. Lawton has long been identified
with Skowhegan business interests, hav-
Ing been resident of our town for more
than 40 years, all the time up to the
present fall being engaged in active
business, both mercantile and as buyer
and shipper of hoops. 1t was in
the latter business that his extern
sive acquaintance was formed in
Maine and throughout the country, as
his dealings in this commodity were so
large at one time that he was termed the
"hoop pole king" For period of over
a quarter Of a century he was also en-.
gagged with the late f. S. Prescott In the
grocery business, here, under the firm
name of Lawton & Prescott.
Since the death of his wife, some six
teen years ago, his health has been
gradually failing, yet he always pre-
served the same outward CHEEKY spirit
that always characterized his life up to
the time of his death, which was particu-
larly noticeable in the home during his
last sickness.
OF the immediate household one
daughter, Mrs. Belle Coffin, who has
tenderly cared for him in his declining
years, and a grandchild, Miss Barbara,
daughter of his son, are left. The son,
Forrest, residing in South Carolina, was
prevented from being present at the
funeral.
The funeral was held from his late
home, on Sunday last, at 2 p. M, under
the supervision of Folsom & Nutting,
| funeral directors. The religious services
were conducted by R4v. Il. W. Kim ball,
and he was buried with Masonic honors,
heing a member of the Masonic bodies In
town, who attended as organic itions,

mandery acting as an escort. The
Masonic burial service was delivered by
F. II. Wing. The fl)ral tributes OF the
order and of friends were beautiful and
appropriate.
