Tawes Was Buried Tuesday Afternoon One of the community's most prominent citizens, Mr. Isaac H. Tawes, died at his home on Somerset Avenue Sunday morning, after only a few days illness. He had passed his 86th birthday. He was born in Lawsonia, the son of the late Edward and Grace Lawson Tawes, and had spent all his life in this community, and was the last surviving member of a family of twelve children. One of the first Crisfield men to engage in the soft shell crab business, he had spent 65 years of his life as a seafood packer, handling oysters, crabs and fish. With his brother, the late James C. Tawes, he operated the firm of Tawes & Co., for a long time and then was interested in the firm of Carson-Tawes Company until his retirement about two years ago. He was the oldest member of Chesapeake Lodge No. 147. A.F. & A.M., in point of years of membership, and was a Knights Templar and Shriner. An active member of Immanuel Methodist church for about 70 years he had been one of its most ardent supporters. He was a Director of the Bank of Crisfield for a great many years and seldom missed a meeting there. For most of his life he had been a leader in Republican political circles in the county and was widely known throughout the State as an astute politician who wielded great influence. Democrats as well as Republicans sought his advice and profited by it. As a citizen, Mr. Tawes had gained and held great respect and esteem from people in all walks of life. He was an interesting man to converse with, and his friends were legion, and included both white and colored citizens. His death has caused much sorrow among them. For many of the long years of his life he was a leader in civic affairs, proud of his city and working busily to advance its interests. He was one of the best versed men in the State regarding the conservation of the State's natural water resources, and had advised Governors and other officials many times as to proper methods to increase oyster and other seafood production. He reposed at his home until Tuesday, when funeral services were held there at 2.30 p.m., conducted by Rev. Melvin E. Wheatley and Rev. E.E. Garland. Interment was in the Crisfield cemetery. Members of Chesapeake Lodge of Masons attended the funeral in a body and the following members acted as bearors: M. Brevoort Thawley, J. Coyne Sterling, Warren F. Sterling, A Wellington Tawes, A. Earl Dize, John T. Handy, W. Frank Daugherty, and Charles W. Howeth. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Addie Croswell Tawes, and a number of nephews and nieces.
