The funeral took place the following Monday afternoon and the services were conducted by Rev Geo Gomme. Robt Lawford was a son of a veteran of Waterloo and the Crimea, who having received his government grant came from the south of England and settled in the township of Beckwith where Robert was born. Three of the eleven children still survive, viz.: Mrs Dobson and Thos Lawford of Smiths Falls and Mrs Brownlee, of Ashton. Robert had a quiet and reliable life, chiefly as a farmer and a woodman. He was known far and wide for his ability in handling the axe. He was a member of the Baptist church, and was a Conservative in politics. In early life he married Sarah Thompson, sister of Geo Thompson, of our town. She passed away twenty-four years ago and left a family of five boys and 3 girls: Mrs Toop and Sidney, of Almonte; Earl of Westboro and George of Toronto, were both overseas for several years and won high honours. The other surviving members of their family are Robert, of Campbellford, and Mrs Sheriff Atkins of Gravelburg. William, the eldest, died in 1908 and Alice in 1913.
