Early This Morning.
 Rev Martin P. Lawlor died at o'clock this morning at his residence, 15S North Main street, after an illness of about three months.
 Father Lawlor was born in Mount rath, Queens county, Ireland, and came to Waterbury in 1852, his par ents, MT and Mrs John Lawlor, and other members of the family having already established a residence in z this town. He attended the public schools and later entered St Charles college, where he studied for the priesthood He was ordained in 1870 and entered upon his priestly du- ties in Westerly. Later he minis tered in Pawtucket, Norwalk, New / Milford, his first pastorate. New Lon don, Fairfield, Danbury and Meriden. For several years past he has not had any parish. His health was poor and he was not able to attend to the iarduous duties required from one who / keeps up with the daily life of the priesthood. When not troubled with sickness he was a familiar figure about town and probably no man in the community had better know ledge of public affairs or kept closer watch upon the movements of men ill public places. He was ripe scholar md kept in touch with his studies right along, so that although his health was poor he was abreast of the times and when occasion called for it he never hesitated to step to the front and tell those about him few things. A few years ago during a public meeting in the city hall for the pur- pose of making some appropriation for school purposes Father Lawlor was one of the speakers, and the way l1c talked about the conditions prompted many who did not know him to inquire which party he repre- sented on the district committee. He liked to talk of his early days in Wa terbury and had the history of the { town and those who were prominent here half a century ago on the tip of his tongue. He made few trips to the old world and took pride in tell ing of the marked improvement mo- ticeable in Ireland at the present time compared with what it was when his father was a boy. He was a mem ; ber of very large family, all of whom with the exception of one brother Christopher Lawlor, are dead. He was an uncle to Thomas F. and Mary E. Lawlor. children of the late Peter Lawlor; Michael J. McEvoy Hinton T. McEvoy Martin J. McEvoy and Frank F. McEvoy, children of his sister Mary Lawlor McEvoy: Jo- seph F. Lawlor, son of his brother, Michael Lawlor The funeral will take place Friday morning at 10:3O o'clock to the church Of the Immacu- late Conception.
