ALEXANDER LAWRENCE, farmer, section 28, Norwich Township, was born in Oxford 
Co., Can., July 22, 1836, and 

is the son of Samuel and Susanna (Kipp) Lawrence, both of whom were natives of 
the Dominion.  Mr. Lawrence 

obtained his education at the common schools of his native county, and was 
trained by his father to the 

calling of farmer.  At 20 years of age he found himself at liberty to engage 
in active life on his own 

account, and entered upon the pursuit of cooper, for 15 years.

He was married Aug. 9, 1865, to Charlotte Hoag, and of their union four 
children have been born:  Myrtie 

E., Anna M., Nora I. and Harris A.

The family located in Newaygo County in 1867, settling in Norwich Township 
when it contained but three 

permanent resident householders.  He entered a claim under the Homestead Act, 
consisting of 120 acres of 

land, of which he still retains possession.  In political tendencies he is a 
Republican, and has held the 

office of Township Treasurer four years.
