Lawton. - At her home southeast of town, Wednesday, Dec. 24th, 1884, 
of inflammatory rheumatism, accompanied with fever, Mrs. Lizzie Lawton, 
wife of Seth Lawton, aged 29 years. 

Mrs. Lawton's death in one of those mysterious rulings of an all-wise 
Providence that are beyond the power of finite minds to fathom, and 
which only can be met with the unquestioning faith of a little child 
in the goodness of a loving father.  In the very prime of life, with 
a husband rejoicing in her wifely administrations, and four little 
girls, the eldest of which is but nine years of age, dependent upon 
her for a mother's care and guidance, it does indeed seem that her 
presence was yet needed in earthly home, and we sincerely sympathize 
with the daughter of Mr. Peter Williams, of Douglas township, and a 
sister of Peter Williams Jr. and Joh A. Williams, bother of Millbank, 
Dakota.  We believe she has also a sister and two brothers in California.
