TAWES DIED WEDNESDAY FUNERAL SERVICES TO BE HELD TODAY Capt. Lorenzo E. Tawes, prominent Crisfield resident whose home is on Richardson Avenue, died there early Wednesday after noon of this week. He would have been 92 years of age in December. Capt. Len had been in ill health for about four months, but was not compelled to take to his bed until a few days before his death. He was born in Crisfield, the son of the late Noah and Grace Nelson Tawes, and had made this city his home all his life. Capt. Len was a deep water sailor. He went to sea when he was 14 years old, and followed the water until his retirement some years ago. His first experiences were with sailing vessels, where he won rapid promotion until he was placed in command of several of them. Later he went into steam powered ships as commander. It was along the Atlantic coast that he did most of his sailing and was best known to other shipmasters, and where he had a wide reputation as a fearless mariner and one who was well qualified to handle all types of vessels. After he retired from the sea and came ashore for good, he was employed in the retail mercantile business for several years, and was active and interested in civic and religious and fraternal affairs in the community. He was a long time member of Chesapeake Lodge of Masons, was one of the founders and a charter member of Chesapeake Chapter of the Eastern Star, and a member of Immanuel Methodist Church, which he regularly attended. A man of energy and high integrity, Capt. Len had won the esteem and affection of his townspeople. He was modest, companionable, and had a great liking for people. He liked to help others and did this many times and in many ways. He loved his church and his lodge work, and was faithful in attending their meetings and taking part in their proceedings. He was a fine citizen in every regard, and everyone who knew him has been saddened by his passing. Funeral services will be held today, Friday, at 2.00 p. m. at the Bradshaw Funeral Parlors, conducted by Dr. J. Yancey Fincher. Masonic services will be conducted at the grave by Chesapeake Lodge No. 147, A. F. & A. M. Interment will be in Sunnyridge Memorial Park. Mr. Tawes only immediate survivor is his grandson, C. Lorenzo Tawes, and one great-grandchild. The Crisfield Times, Crisfield, Maryland, Friday, August 22, 1952, p. 1 __________
