Lawrence, George William
George William Lawrence was born at Five Oak Green, Kent County England in 1851. He came to Kansas in 1871, first making his home in Matfield Green, being among the first to settle there. He saw this country in its primeval state. He witnessed the trains of emigrant wagons as they came bearing those who found homes and developed this most beautiful country.
He married Mary Purcell in 1878 and to this union were born twelve children, ten boys and two girls all of whom are living.
He was an honest and hard working man. He trained his children in truthfulness and right living. His sons and daughters will miss his council. His many friends will miss him in the neighborhood of Bazaar where he has resided for several years.
The Master called and he responded to the last and final summon on Sunday morning, November 15, 1914. The funeral service was held in the M.E. church, Tuesday, November 17, 1914. The address was given by Rev. C.O. Brooks. He was laid to rest in the Bazaar Cemetery, there to await the Resurrection.
