MRS. MARGARET LAWRENCE.

  Mrs. Margaret Jennings Lawrence, widow of John L. Lawrence, died at 
12:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the home of her son, A. H. Maxwell 
Lawrence, 1227 Seventh avenue, from heart trouble.  She had been in ill 
health for the past two years and her death, although not unexpected, 
was very sudden. Mrs. Lawrence was born in this city on June 14, 1860, 
the daughter of A. H. and Anna B. Maxwell, both deceased.  She was 
married on September 9, 1884, to John L. Lawrence, of Bristol, England, 
who preceded her to the grave on April 1, 1914.  She was a member of 
St. Luke's Episcopal church.  Besides her son at whose home she died, 
she is survived by these two sons and one daughter: J. Llewellyn 
Lawrence, of Washington, D.C. and Norman M. Lawrence, captain of the 
325th infantry, in France, and Miss Margaret F., at home. One brother, 
George H. Maxwell, of this city, also survives.  The funeral services 
will be held at her late home Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, 
followed by interment in Fairview cemetery.  Services and interment 
will be private.  Friends will kindly omit flowers.
