William L. LAWRENCE #478682
Birth: 10 Jan 1844 Ballard Co., Kentucky
Note: William L. Lawrence served in the
Confederate army from 1861 til
1865. He served in Company E,
Twelfth Tennessee Infantry until
the middle of the Battle of
Corinth. When Gen. Sydney Johnston
was killed the Army of Tennessee
regiments were re-roganized. He
was then transferred to 'Company L,
Third Kentucky Infantry. He was
captured Sept. 25, 1864 near
Athens, AL. and was transferred to
Louisville Military Prison, in KY.
He was to be transferred to the
prison in Camp Chase, Ohio, but
escaped enroute. After he escaped
he rejoined his unit. He fought
until the end of the War, going on
the last raid made by Gen. Bedford
Forrest on Selma. Obituary (copy of
which is in the family Bible which
is in the possession of Henry
Lawrence)
W.L. Lawrence Dead Passes away at
his home on North Pruett Street -
Death due to bowel trouble. W.L.
Lawrence, a well known resident of
North Pruett Street, aged fifty-
five years, died at the family home
just before noon today, after an
illness since last Sunday. Death
was due to obstruction of the
bowels. The deceased was a very
clever old gentleman and respected
by all who knew him. He was an
active member of the Fraternal Home
and was engaged at times
instituting lodges of that order at
various places, and carried a
policy of $1,000 in that
organization. He was also a member
of the local Ancient Order of
United Workmen, carrying with that
order a policy of $2,000, making a
total of $3,000 insurance he had on
his life. A family of a wife, four
sons and one daughter survive him,
with whom their large number of
friends deeply sympathize. The
funeral and burial arrangements
have not been definitely decided
upon but will probably be conducted from the famiy home Sunday
afternoon, under the auspices of the two orders with which the deceased was identified
