St. John, Oct. 8 - Rev. D.C. LAWSON, Westmorland Co. clergyman, died at the Asylum here last night. The remains will be taken to Amherst, N.S. for interment. Deceased, who was in his 74th year, was well known in Moncton. For many years he was an active minister and only about a year ago he was taken ill and ultimately his mind became affected, necessitating his removal to the asylum. Mr. Lawson resided for many years at Westmorland Point where his widow still lives on the old homestead. He leaves a widow, four sons and a daughter. The sons are Albert LAWSON, J.D. LAWSON of Amherst, Rev. Geo. LAWSON, Kent Co. and Wm LAWSON of London, England. His daughter is Mrs. T.A. KINNEAR of Sackville.
