William Barney (W.B.) Lawrence and Nettie Ann Murray were married on 17 Nov 1886 in DeWitt County, TX. They were living in DeWitt County at the time of the 1900 & 1910 census but apparently moved to the San Marcos area sometime between 1910 and 1913. W.B. died near Round Rock, TX in 1913; one son (Murray) died in WWI in 1918 and is buried in San Marcos; another son (Boyd) died in San Marcos in 1919 and is buried in San Marcos, and his widow was living in San Marcos in 1920. By the time of the 1930 & 1940 census, Nettie had moved to Fort Worth.
W.B. was buried in Epperson-Brown-Jonischkies cemetery in DeWitt Co where his infant son and Nettie's parents were buired. His widow and several other children are buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth and it appears that his family erected a monument stone for W.B. at that cemetery as well, even though he is not actually buried there.
W.B. and Nellie had a total of 11 children:
1. an infant boy (1887-1887) who is buried in the same cemetery as his father
