1. Obituary
DIED. LAWRANCE — In Laredo, Texas, April 27th, 1884, of typhoid fever, Miss DORA LAWRANCE, of Corpus Christi, aged 28 years.
It is with feelings of great sorrow we chronicle the death of this excellent, industrious and accomplished young lady. She was born and reared in this city where she leaves many friends and associates of her childhood, a sorely bereaved mother, brother and sister and other relatives to mourn her death. The deceased was a graduate of the Huntsville Normal Institute, and to assist a widowed mother was teaching in the public school of Laredo, where she had been engaged since last September. Miss Lawrance was sick only about two weeks, and died at the residence of Capt. S. T. Foster. The mother, who was with her daughter in the last few days of her life, arrived in the city Monday night with the remains. The funeral took place the following day from the residence of Prof. E. L. Faupel. The afflicted family have the sympathies of the entire community.

In this city he has filled several orders, among them a monument and fence for Mrs. Dr. Lawrence over the graves of her husband, son and daughter. He has also erected a beautiful iron fence around the grave of the late Mr. S. S. Lewis.
