"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 55, No 12, p 191, Mar. 20, 1899.

At Boulder, Colo., Feb. 20, 1899, of consumption, Luzerne, son of Loyal H. and Mary Victoria Lawton, in the 38th year of his age.

The subject of this notice was born in Albion, Wis., July 26, 1861. His mother died Sept. 10, 1867. He battled bravely and gained an education, which enabled him to be principal of important schools in Minnesota. He was determined to make still higher attainments, and did some advance work at the State University here in Boulder. In his earlier years he became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of A]bion, Wis., and never changed his membership. The flattering disease, with his remarkable ambition, gave him hope of recovery almost to the last but some time before death he folded his hands upon his breast, in quiet submission, and breathed out his life without a struggle. We all feel satisfied that he gained the Christian's victory over death, through our blessed Saviour Jesus Christ. Feb. 20, 1890, he was joined in marriage to Miss Edith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bailey, of New Auburn, Minn. Thus this sister in Christ was left a widow on the 9th anniversary of her wedding day, and the three-year-old daughter fatherless. Funeral service here at Boulder; burial at North Loup, Neb.
