From The History of Holt county Missouri, Circa 1917, Page 405-406:
"Fred Lawrence lives on his fine farm of 400 acres in north Benton Township, which formerly was the property of Joseph Groves, now deceased. He was born in Union Township, October 6, 1871, the month and year of the great Chicago fire. He resided on his father's farm until his marriage at the age of 24 years. He then began farming for himself on a farm adjoining that of his father to the east, and which he purchased in 1895. In 1907 he bought another farm in the neighborhood and lived there until the spring of 1912, when he moved to his present farm.
He is the son of Hosea and Mary S. (Curry) Lawrence, natives of Ohio. They came to Holt county in 1855, and in 1871 bought the farm in Union Township on which they now live. Mr. Lawrence has been very successful and is an influential man in his township. He owns 860 acres of land in Holt county, 200 acres in Atchison county, and 500 acres in Decatur county, Kansas. He also owns property and a feed mill in Craig; is a stockholder in the Farmer's & Merchant Bank of Craig, and has been its President for a number of years.
Fred Lawrence was married January 1, 1896, to Miss Emma A. Smith of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They have four children; Neil S., Dale, Eva, and Hosea Bertie. Mr. Lawrence is a member of the Odd Fellows and Modern Woodmen lodges."
Fred Lawrence, former presiding judge of the county court, and later representing Holt county in the state legislature, died suddenly Wednesday at his farm three and one-half miles northeast of Mound City.
Since the destruction by fire of their residence a few weeks ago, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence had been making their home with the family of their daughter, Mrs. Earl Gillis. Taking along a lunch Wednesday he drove to his farm with the idea of caring for some livestock and looking after some needed repairs. As he failed to return late in the evening, the family became uneasy. Mr. and Mrs. Gillis drove over to the place and discovered Mr. Lawrence's body near the entrance to the feed lot. Indications were that the man had been stricken soon after reaching his farm that morning. he had not been feeling well for several weeks.
Mr. Lawrence was a native of Holt county, born Oct. 6, 1871, and spent his early manhood in the community northeast of Craig. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. H.B. Lawrence. Following in the footsteps of his father, he became an extensive farmer and was prominent in Republican politics. Mr. Lawrence also took an active interest in religious work. From 1922 until 1926 he was presiding judge of the county court, and from 1926 until 1930 served Holt county in the state legislature.
Jan. 1, 1896, he was united in marriage with Miss Emma Smith, who also resided in the Craig locality. Aside from the widow, he is survived by three daughters and one son, Mrs. Earl Gillis, Mound City; Mrs. Harry Ewing, Tarkio; Mrs. Clark Kennett, Granger, Mo.; Nell Lawrence, Craig. Three sisters and two brothers also are living: Mrs. J.D. Gomel, Craig; Mrs. Thomas Kennish, Mound City; Mrs. H. Reams, Maitland; Ralph W. and Clarence B. Lawrence, residents of the Craig locality.
Funeral services for Mr. Lawrence were held at the Methodist Church in Mound City Friday at 1 o'clock p.m. after which the body was taken to the I.O.O.F. cemetery near Craig for burial.
