Gertrude was an emphatically bright child and her active little life gave her a large circle of acquaintances. Because of the way she came into the town everybody was interested in her, and she was a favorite of all who knew her. She was a lover of beautiful sacred songs and her shrill childish voice could after be heard above the voices of the older singers in the congregation One of her favorite songs was, "When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there." Gertrude was sick only two weeks, but during that time her suffering was intense. She will be missed by many, THe sorrowing parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.

JOSEPH LAWTON
- The citizens of Milledgeville were profoundly grieved Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock upon hearing the sad and sudden news that Postmaster Joseph E. Lawton had fallen about twelve feet when trimming a tree on the front of his residence lawn and was picked up unconscious and carried into his home. Dr. Overholser was immediately called and arrived in a moment only to find, as he believed a fatal injury which proved to be too true as Mr. Lawton never regained consciousness and died about ten o'clock (8 August 1911), an hour afterward. Mr. Lawton arose early Tuesday morning as was his usual custom of doing and went to the post office to attend his official duties. He returned about 8 o'clock to have Mrs. Lawton treat his eyes after which he secured a ladder and went to trim a tree on his front lawn. While doing so a number of citizens passed by, one of whom was D.C. Busell who told him he better get down and let someone more able do that work. It is not known just how or what caused him to fall. The last account of anyone seeing him before he fell was by Miss Matie Hubberd who saw him descending from the top of the ladder. In a few seconds a crash was heard by W.F. sunderland from his Fotograph gallery nearby. Mr. S. Heard several groans and finally looked out and saw Mr. Lawton lying on the ground and quickly ran to him finding him then unconscious.
He was picked up by Messrs. Sunderland, Dr. Overholser and our foreman Mr. MaGill and Mr. Chapman and carried into his home. An examination showed he had fallen on his head producing a concussion of the brain. Dr. Staley of Freeport was sent for but Mr. Lawton died about an hour before he arrived. As the word quickly traveled throut our little city an expression of sadness was manifested upon the face of every person who heard the sudden and shocking news. A more general and deeper gloom was never before cast upon the hearts of the people of Milledgeville, and it was a day of sighing and mourning over the death of one of our most highly respected and honored citizens, for Mr. Lawton was recognized as such a man by the entire community who deeply mourn his sudden departure. Deceased was at the time of his death the oldest living business man in Milledgeville. He was born on the farm east of Milledgeville now occupied by Wm. Schnell. When about 18 years of age he came to Milledgeville and clerked in R.G. Shumway's drug store several years, after which he clered for Dr. Walters, later becoming a partner with him in the drug business. In 1886 they bought and had built the building which Mr. Lawton has occupied ever since. At the death of Dr. Walters some years ago Mr. Lawton became sole proprietor. Mr. Lawton has been connected with the Milledgeville post office the past 35 years, a number of years as deputy under Dr. Walters and the past 15 years was postmaster himself. As a business man and postmaster he has always been very obliging and accomodating, even under the most trying circumstances, and was always ready cheerfully to do any possible favor. Mr. Lawton was born October 7, 1848 and was 62 last October.
He will be greatly missed by the old soldiers who always went to him with pension vouchers. He will also be greatly missed at the post office by the general public upon whom he has waited these many years, but the greatest and saddest vacancy will be in the home where all his earthly joys, sorrows and happiness were shared by a devoted and affectionate wife and daughter that he dearly loved who deeply mourn the loss of husband and father but who hope and await a joyful meeting where sorrows are unknown.
Mr. Lawton always manifested a deep interest in church and Sunday School work. He was librarian of the M.E.S.S. for over 35 years and attended every Sunday for 13 years without a single omission. He has been a Mason ever since he was 21 years old and will be muried under Masonic rites. Funeral will be held at the M.E. church tomorrow (Thursday) at 2 p.m. Meet at the house at 1:30. Services in charge of local pastor, Rev. Hewitt.
Second Notice: Joseph Lawton was born October 7, 1848, just east of Milledgeville in the houes now occupied by William Schell. He was the fourth child of a family of six children born to Charles and Caroline Lawton. His four sisters died in childhood, and the brother William Lawton of Akron Ohio is still living.
He was married to Miss Anna Clements Jan. 3, 1892, it being the first Sunday evening after the dedication of the Milledgeville Methodist church. When about 18 years of age he came to Milledgeville to clerk in R.G. Shumway's drug store. He later became partner with Dr. F. H. Walters in the drug business. After the death of Dr. Walters, Mr. Lawton became the sole proprietor. He has been connected with the Milledgeville Postoffice either as deputy or postmaster ofr the past 35 years; being postmaster with the exception of four years during a period of 22 years. He also held the office of Justice of the Peace for several years.
He was deeply interested in the work of the Methodist church, and loyal in the support. For over 35 years he held the office of Librarian in the Sunday School. During this time he was seldom absent, and for the last 15 years was absent only three Sundays. For a time he wsa teacher of a class of girls. Since the organization of the Sunday School Missionary Society he has acted as its treasurer. For several years he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the church. Mr. Lawton has been a Mason ever since he was 21 years of age. He was one of the charter members of the modern Woodmen and also a member of the Mystic Workers.
Mr. Lawton met his death by falling from a tree Tuesday morning, Aug. 8th 1911. The entire community mourns the departure of one of its most highly respected citizens, probably there was no man better known and beloved. He will be greatly missed by the public which he has erved so faithfully those many years.
Few men loved their home and home ties more than he. It is there that his loss will be most felt by his loving wife and daughter Fern. Burial in South Elkhorn Cemetery.

- The following announcement of the death of Mrs. Aurelia Lee, mother-in-law of Mrs. Anna Kelly – Lee, is found in the Batavia NY News.
EDDIE ORLAND LEE
- The Salt Lake Tribune of August 17 announces the death of Eddie Orland Lee, an attorney at Salt Lake for the past 35 years, who died at Long Beach, Calif., he being out there for his health. The Tribune says he went there with Mrs. Lee to spend the winter, but returned to Salt Lake City in July, but his health immediately became worse and they returned to the beach. Word received yesterday from Long Beach, Cal., announces the death of Eddie Orland Lee, prominently identified with the legal, business and social activities of Salt Lake for the last thirty-five years.
Mr. Lee was born September 16, 1855 in the Province of Quebec, Canada. When he was 10 years of age his parents moved and settled on a farm near Mt. Carroll, Ill. He attended the district school at that place and later the Mt. Carroll high school. Afterward he graduated from the University of Illinois in 1878 as a bachelor of arts. He studied law privately in the office of Hon. James Shaw at Mt. Carroll and was admitted to the bar in Illinois in 1881. He practiced there until 1885, then moved to Sidney, Neb., at which place he was prosecuting attorney for Cheyenne county for two years. He continued practice in Nebraska until he moved to Salt Lake in January, 1891. Here he formed a partnership under the name of Lee and Post. Later, in July 1892, he and his lifetime friend, Hon. Hiram e. Booth, former United States attorney for the district of Utah, now residing in Los Angeles, Cal., organized a partnership under the name of Booth & Lee, which was subsequently extended by the addition of John G. Gray, making the firm name Booth, Lee & Gray, which firm by the retirement of Mr. Gray and the association of Hon Morris L. Ritchie, dean of the judicial bench of the state of Utah, became Booth, Lee & Ritchie. With various modifications as to membership, this is perhaps the oldest legal firm in the intermountain west. Other members of this firm not now connected are Joseph L. Lewisohn and Dale H. Parke, now practicing in San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively. At the time of his death, Mr. Lee was active senior member of the firm of Booth, Lee, Badger, Rich & Rich, composed of himself, Carl A. Badger, Benjamin L. Rich and H. A. Rich, Mr. Booth having ceased his active connection with the firm in 1921. Mr. Lee’s practice was entirely civil and confined to corporation, mining, and probate law. He seldom appeared in court, but devoted himself to consultation and office practice.
He was married August 20, 1884 to Jennie Cummings, who survives him. They had no children. Also surviving him is a brother, L. D. Lee of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Lee went to California in the winter and stayed until July, at which time he felt sufficiently recovered to return home, with the expectation of resuming practice. A week ago, however, his condition became manifestly serious and he was hurried to the coast, with the hope that a lower altitude and rest would restore his vigor. It is expected that Mrs. Lee will return to Salt Lake with his body at an early date. Some of our people will remember the Lee family. The brother spoken of, L. D., was once in the grocery business in the building now occupied by A. L. Edwards. Both of the Lee boys went to high school here.
