Alice Maria Lawton, widow of the late Giles Lawton, was born in Rockville, R. I., April 1, 1831, and died in Albion, Wis., Sept. 1, 1899.
She was the daughter of Dea. John and Mary Potter Webster. Early in life she gave her heart to the Saviour and united with the Third Hopkinton church. May 3, 1855, she changed her membership to the Albion, Wis., church, having removed to that place with her parents. In the fall of 1868 her husband died, leaving her with two children and two step-children, all of whom survive to mourn their loss. She was helpful in times of sickness, often going to care for the sick, and will be greatly missed in the neighborhood, because of her sympathy in times of bereavement. The funeral services were held from her residence Sept. 3, Rev. Geo. W. Burdick officiating in the absence of Pastor S. H. Babcock. G. W. B.
