Leonard Tracy Lawrence passed away at his home on the evening of August 21, 1951. He was the son of Joseph Warren and Margaret Tracy Lawrence and was born August 19, 1877 on a farm west of Corning. Losing his father at the early age of sixteen, Leonard assumed responsibilities beyond his years in managing his mother's farm. His attendance at Corning High School was followed by a number of years of teaching school.
On May 18, 1904, he was married to Carrie Pell. After three years with the Wheeler Implement Company, where he was office manager, he spent two years in the railway postal service. But his heart was always on the farm and in 1917, he moved to the farm north of Corning, which has been his home ever since.
He was a member of the Eastern Star and the Shrine Lodge.
Devotion to his home and helping others were two of his outstanding characteristics. He was never so happy as when he could lend a hand to a neighbor. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his widow and a brother Devol of Washington D. C. and Della Tilton of Winnetka, Illinois.
Funeral services were held Friday, August 24, at the Methodist Church in Corning, conducted by Re. Frank Jacobs. Interment in Walnut Grove Cemetery.
