      LAWRENCE W. PLATT,
  
  [p. 572] who is engaged in a real estate, loan and insurance business at
  New Castle, with convenient offices in the Patterson Block, on
  Washington Street, was born in this city February 8, 1874, and is a son
  of William and Sarah (Lawrence) Platt. The late William Platt was a well
  known citizen of New Castle, where he was engaged in a grocery business
  for a number of years, being located on South Mercer Street.
  
  Lawrence W. Platt obtained his education in the public schools of New
  Castle and at Clark's Business College. His first employment was as a
  clerk in a local shoe store, where he gained some business training. In
  1898 he embarked in his present business, securing an office in the
  First National Bank Building, where he continued until 1904, when he
  took possession of his present quarters. In enterprise and energy, he is
  a typical American and stands deservedly high among business men at New
  Castle. Mr. Platt married Miss Ethel M. Meadville. He is a member of the
  Odd Fellows and of the Knights of Pythias.
