"Mrs. John E. Lawton died at the home of an aunt in
Buffalo, early on Tuesday morning, February 1st. Her maiden
name was Gertrude Chadderdon. She was the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Chadderdon of Holland. At the age of
sixteen she accepted Christ as her Savior and united with the ninth
street M. E. church in Olean.
On July 7th, 1907, she was united in marriage to John E. Lawton of
East Ashford, N. Y. About eleven years ago they removed to Holland,
where they have since made that their home.
Mrs. Lawton was a woman of noble Christian character. Like Dorces
of old she 'was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did,'
and was held in high esteem by all who knew her. Her death is a
great loss to the community.
The funeral services were held on Friday afternoon, February 4th, at the
Holland M. E. church, of which she was a loyal and faithful member.
Rev. Howard Charles of Alden, N. Y., officiated. He was assisted by
Revs. Burnham and Conrad.
The ladies of the Rebecca Lodge, of which organization Mrs. Lawton was a
member, attended the service in a body. The large audience, which
taxed the capacity of the church, gave silent but potent testimony
to the high esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. The
remains were laid to rest in the Spring Brook cemetery.
Mrs. Lawton is survived by her husband and parents, also by two sisters,
Mrs. Chas. Lawton of Machias and Mrs. Clark Cradler of
Franklinville; one brother, Harry C. Chadderdon of Olean; besides a
large circle of more distant relatives, who all mourn their great
loss in her untimely death.
'She saw a hand you could not see,
Which beckoned her away;
She heard a voice you could not hear,
which would not let her stay.
Borne to that land of endless song.
Where she is free from pain;
She's numbered now with Angel strong
Where we may meet again.'"
