Short Sketch of the Life and
Death Of H. Coleman Lawson,

On Tuesday, April II, 1904, one of
Union County's oldest and staunchest
citizehs passed away.
Fl. Coleman Lawson was born in
Cross Keys township, Union county, on
June "a, 1927. He spent his young man
hood in his native county, until seized
with the gold fever in 1s49, he made his
way to California, 10y way of the 18TH
mus Of Panama. 1t was always very
interesting to hear him relate his expe-
riences, and observations on this trip,
during which he stopped at Jamaica, and
other points in the West Indies, and had
an opportunity of studying free negro
labor 15 years before it was forced on
his own State In about two years he
returned to South Carolina, and was en-
gagged in farming in Union and Fairfield
cOunGies until the outbreak of the war,
when he volunteered, joining Capt. Har-
lands Co. of the 3rd S. G.. cavalry. I
have talked to several of his conrad es,
and they, one and all, bear willing testi-
mOny to his faithfulness as soldier.
After the sun de he returned home
cripple, having u 60 on crutches for
more than year. He was absolutely
penniless, but with that sublime courage
that had 80 often animated the Confed-
e-ate soldier on the field of battle, he be-
gan work and accumulated very nice
property.
While his educational advantages had
been very limited, he was always very
close observer of men and events, and if
his pref was not aroused, l mover
knew man who could form more Just
estimate OF the character and ability cf
another. When he had formed an opil
ion of one, be it favorable or otherwise,
it was almost impossible to change him.
He married on January o, 1861, Miss
Emma Osborne, of Fairfield county, who
bore him children, only of whom
survive him. His wife passed away
about II years ago; he was devoted
husband and this wound was never
healed. OF him it can, be truly said,
that In all the relations of life, he did his
duty fearlessly and faithfully.
