THE DURHAM CHRONICLE reliable makes, is one of our As time moves on in its ceaseless course. the Old landmarks that connect the present with the past gradually become fewer. The sturdy pioneers who emigrated into this western wild- erness while yet in its primeval state. and who manfully endured many homes for themselves and loved ones, certainly deserve more than a passing notice from the present generation. who are new enjoying the fruits of their hard labors. The subject of this short sketchâ€" ‘Villiam Lawson, Sr.,â€"â€"was very inti- mately connecned with the material advancement of Durham and vicinity for more than fifty years. As his mortal remains were laid in their last resting place in Saugeen cemetery on Monday of this week, a few notes as to his life may not be out of place. He was born in the township of Te- ronto Gore, County of Peel, on March 20th. 1832. and had celebrated his 76th birthday at the home of his only sister, Mrs. Ellen Hutton, near Vankerton, just four weeks previous to the day of his funeral. His parents were, William Lawson, from the north of England, and Jean McFarlane, of Kippen, Scotland. They ‘ emigrated to Canada, settled in Toron-l to Gore, near Toronto, where theyl lived until the time of their death,l each having attained the age of 99 and 97 years respectively. To them were born five of a familyâ€"one daughter and four sons:-â€"Ellen (Mrs. Hutton,l of \Valkerton,); \Villiam, just deceased: l Alexander in Manitoba: Joseph, who‘. lived on the old hmnestead near; Brampton until his death two years1 ago, and John. a merchant in Milton. l On November 14th, 1851. \Villiam : Lawson was married to Georgina Bur- lgess. of Toronto township, and in the 2 following spring they moved up to the ’ township of Bentinck, settling on the g farm now OCtupied by Mrs. John Law- . rence, just north of Hutton Hill. Here their famin of four-daughters and two ' sons were hm°n,â€"~Jane, wife of Hamil- ; ton lrwin, Antler, Saskz Mina, widow jot‘ the late Geo. Hopkins, of Hutton l Hill: Georgina, Mrs. Thomas Burgess, who died in the year 1880: Mary, wife 'of wm. R. Edge, of Edge Hill: wm., L on the farm just north of Durham: and 3 Robert A.. of Milton, general agent ' for Frost \Vood Company. After many years with the Cochrane firm, he became general agent fm‘ J. J. Fleury 00., of Aurora, with whom he kept- up business connections until very few years ago. Being so intimately concerned with agricultural interests he gave much of his time and the benefit of his ex- perience to assist the South Grey Ag- ricultural Society of which he was Di- rector for many years. He also was a License Commissioner for several terms and as such assisted very materially in enforcing a better observance of license laws. In politics he was a Liberal, but with none of the slavish subserviency to party, that would be content to ac- cept principles contrary to his better judgment. In religion he was a staunch Presby- terian. He was one of the faithful few who had the courage of their con- victions, to Withdraw on a question involving conscientious scruples re- garding instrumental music in church and who proceeded to build the present Presbyterian church in Durham, In various capacities he has been be- fore the public gaze, more or less for over fifty years and in each and every instance his acts and speech could bear the closest scrutiny. His word was as good as his bond, nor did he ever betray a. trust reposed in him. He had been a. remarkably strong and healthy man, standing about 6 ft. 3 in. in height with breadth of shoulder \VILLI AM LA“'SON, OBITUARY. that would cause attention to be drawn toward him in any crowd in, which he might happen to be. In July 1901 he had his first illness, due to kidney trouble from which it was not expected he would ever re- cover. He rallied, however, but had another bad attack of same in spring of 1907. Three weeks ago he left for a; visit to his son Robert at Milton, and , his nephews and nieces in and around i Brampton. He felt better and looked ‘ heartier than he had been for two years. Then for the third and last time he had an attack of his old kid-' ney trouble and despite the united? efforts of the best medical aid avail-l. able and the kindest and most carefu I inursing, he peacefully breathed his I last Friday evening in the presence of his two sons, and his nephews and nieces in Brampton after an illness of: ' I just 36 hours. 1 His body was brought home from Bramomn to Durham on Saturday afternoon and was buried on Monday 20th in the family plot beside the re- mains of his wife who pie-deceased him nine years last September 20th. It was a. largely attended funeral showing the respect in which he was held in the community. Rev. \Vm. Farquharson officiated at the house and grave. The pan-hearers were his two sons, \Villiam and Robert, three nephews. Dr. John Lawson, of Bramp- ton, Joseph Lavkson, of Guelph. John Hutton. of \Valkerton and one son-in- glztw, “'11). R.
