CHARLES LAWSON.—He was born August 2, 1843, in Fulton county, Indiana. While
young, his parents removed to Missouri, where he remained until he came overland
to California, in 1857. The fall of that year he spent in Honey Lake valley, and
the winter in Sierra county. He was engaged in teaming and packing until 1871,
spending only a portion of each year up to that time in Lassen county. In that
year he purchased the ranch of 344 acres, three and a half miles south-east of
Susanville, on which he has since lived. In politics, he is a democrat. Mr.
Lawson was married April 21, 1878, to Eugenia Benjamin, of Susanville, who was
born in Sonoma county, this state, December 1, 1857. Their children are Everett,
born May 30, 1879; and Edna, born May 23, 1881.
