LAWELLIN
LAWELLIN, Abednigo - Died Nov. 20, 1915, and was born June 16, 1836 in Randolph County, IN. In 1857, he and his parents, three brothers and two sisters came to Anderson County, Kansas, and settled in Jackson Township, on the farm on which he lived up to the time of his death. He was the last member of the family to cross over the River.
Not long after he came here, he married Miss Martha SANDLIN, and to them were born two daughters. The mother passed away shortly after the birth of the second daughter. In 1865, Mr. LAWELLIN and Rebecca SEVERN were married, and three daughters and two sons were born to them. Two of the children died at an early age, and the mother soon followed them.
Deceased lived to a ripe age, and was seventy-nine years, five months and four days old when he died.
He leaves a son, Wesley B. and four daughters, Mrs. Rachel SMITH, Mrs. Mary NICKELSON, Mrs. IDA RAYMOND and Mrs. Cythia ASKENS, eighteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren to mourn their great loss. All his children were with him when he passed away.
The funeral services were conducted at the home, Monday morning, Nov. 22nd, Rev. H.A. Church, of Baldwin, conducting the services. A large number of of friends and neighbors gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to one who had been so long among us, and who was highly esteemed by everyone who knew him, and many followed him to his last resting place, in the West Scipio cemetery, by the side of his loved ones who have gone before.
Mr. LAWELLIN was an ideal citizen. He was a man of unsullied honor and the strictest integrity, and all who knew him had the utmost confidence in his word. In his death, the community suffers a distinct loss.
"As precious one from us has gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God, in His wisdom, has recalled
The bloom his love has given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven."

LAWELLIN, Erma- July 7, 1927, drowned in Cedar Creek, near the dam, Sunday afternoon. She went to the creek with her mother, Mrs. O.A. LAWELLIN, and Mrs. DeArmond, and Charles MANLOVE. Erma and Mr. MANLOVE were in the shallow water splashing each other, and she stepped backward into deep water. Mr. MANLOVE tried to save her, but she pulled him down fighting to get out, and he went down helpless also. Mrs. Dearmond ran into the water and as MANLOVE was going down the third time, she managed to reach out with one hand and hang onto the boat nearly. Erma did not come back up to the surface. After considerable exertion, Mr. MANLOVE was revived, and Mrs. DeArmond ran for help to a farm house, but there was no telephone, and she ran to another, losing forty-five minutes before help arrived. W.E. BATES went out in his taxi, and the body of the girl was soon recovered. Funeral at U.P. Church, July 5. Pallbearers and singers were from the senior girls class. She was born on a farm near Garnett. She was the oldest child, and ready for the eighth grade. She is survived by parents, two brothers. and a sister, all four grandparents and a great grandparent. Mrs. J. A. (should be J.M. ??) , O.A. , said that she knew that her daughter Erma died July 3, and that the people join her in prayer that the message reach her son and he return to his family.
LAWELLIN, Jepthat -A Pioneer and Patriarch Passed "Over The River"...Jeptha W. LAWELLIN, one of the "landmarks" or pioneers, of Anderson County, has gone to his reward in test "Unknown Country" he has gone to meet those dear ones who proceded him years ago. Mr. LAWELLIN closed his eyes in the sleep that knows no awakening Saturday evening about 5 o'clock and his soul passed from the scenes of over half century of activity. Deceased was seventy-three years of age on the 4th day of this month Mr. LAWELLIN's life was an active one until a few years ago, when his age, couple with the infirmities brought on by hard work in earlier years, made it impossible for him to continue his work on the farm; but he continued to live on the old home place until a few weeks ago, when he was brought to the home of his daughter, Mrs. John PARSONS, where he breathed his last. About nine years ago he gave over the work of conducting the farm to his sons. During those nine years he suffers a great deal. Two or three years ago, if we remember right, he had a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered. Notwithstanding his pain and suffering, he was always cheerful and had a kind word for everybody. He never complained of his own suffering, and from his own mouth one never knew he suffered.
During the past two years, Mr. LAWELLIN has spent a good deal of time visiting his daughter Mrs. LAIZURE, who lives near Lamar, MO, but for some months has been on the old home place, on, or near Cedar Creek.
Mr. LAWELLIN was converted nearly fifty years ago, and he has lived a consistant Christian life ever since. His house was often thrown open to the people of his neighborhood for religious worship, and the "man of God" who braved the hardships of pioneer life to "carry the glad tidings of great joy" during those troublesome times- the times that tried men's souls- always found a haven of rest at the LAWELLIN home. Mrs. LAWELLIN, who shared the privations and hardships of pioneer life with her husband, died about twent-three years ago, and Mr. LAWELLIN did not marry again, but all of his love and tenderness went out to his children, whom he tried to raise in the "fear of God" or, more properly speaking, in the LOVE of God. That he succeeded is proven by the life and career of his children.
