Obituary of Elisha Griffith LAWHEAD, Crawford County, Illinois This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Crawford County Web Site Contributed by Deborah Sweeney. I have no further information on this family. Elisha Griffith Lawhead died at his home in Hutsonville, Friday, after a several months illness. He was born in Marietta, O., Oct. 1, 1840, being aged 70 years, 9 months and 27 days. On Oct. 13, 1860, he was married to Maria McNabb, who died four years ago. To this union were born eight children, all of whom survive being Mrs. Mary J. Stevens, Mrs. Belle Lawhead, Mrs. Fannie Watson, John, George, Albert, Charles and Adolphus Lawhead. He survived in the Civil war, enlisting in Co. D 145th Ind. Vol. Inf., and no one was more interested than he in seeing that proper services were held in memory of his deceased comrades. He removed here with his family in 1880 and has since made this place his home. Mr. Lawhead was married a second time to Mrs. Ella Alberty, Oct. 2, 1909, who with his children tendedly cared for him in his last illness. - - - Paper Unknown ************************************************************************** USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
