Edward T. Lawton
 Edward T. Lawton passed away at his home one and one half miles north of
New Auburn on Saturday, Nov. 30, at the age of 71 years, 3 months and 22
days.  He had been a sufferer with cancer for many years which sapped his
vitality and was the direct cause of his demise.
 Deceased was born in Mount Carmel, Mich., and was married in 1866 in
Wisconsin coming to Minnesota in 1868 and settling on the farm where he
lived continuously until his death.  He was the father of six children,
five of whom are living; namely: Mrs. Lineal A. Walters, of Dodge Center,
Minn.; Wellington P., of North Dakota; Wynam A. and Eunice, who reside at
home, and David E. of New Auburn, Wis.
 The funeral services were held Tuesday at the S. D. D. church at New
Alburn, which were conducted by Elder M. Harry.  The text of his sermon was
Cor. II, 5:1, “For we know that if the earthly house of this tabernacle be
dissolved we have a building of God, a house not made with hands.”
 The late Edward T. Lawton was a man who was held in highest esteem by all
who knew him.  He was an honest, upright citizen, and his demise is deeply
regretted.  The many friends of the family sympathize with them in their
bereavement.  -  Glencoe Enterprise.
