F. Lawhead Feb. 18, 1920, aged 80 years, 1 month and 13 days. He was united in marriage to Martha Burch, near Bloomfield, Ind. To this union were born three children. His wife and three children preceeded him in death. He was again married to Margaret Rea, near Bloomfield, Ind. To this union were born seven children. The wife and four children preceeded him in death a number of years ago. He united with the M. P. Church at York, Ill., some thirty years ago and lived a faithful Christian to the end. He leaves two daughters and one son, one step daughter and one step son, a number of grand-children and eighteen great grand-children to mourn his departure. He had been a sufferer since November. But, bore his suffering with patience, always trusting in his blessed Savior. Only last Sunday he told relatives and friends that "he wanted to go home to Heaven if it was the will of God". Thus reconciled with all men and with his God he passed over the mystic river and is now at rest in the land that is fairer than days. May his mantle fall upon another and his good work go for others. The funeral service took place at the U. H. Church, Robinson, Ill. Rev. W. Duncan was in charge and internment took place at Hutsonville cemetery. - - - -Paper Unknown Note: His wife Margaret's obit appears at http://searches1.www.usgwarchives.net/archives/il/crawford/obit/malawhead.txt I have no further information on this family. ************************************************************************** USGENWEB ARCHIVES NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by any other organization or persons.
