Lawrence attended Country School #48 and then #49. He was baptized in 1915 and confirmed in 1931 into the Lutheran faith at Eidskog Lutheran Church.
On January 28 1946, he was married to Arvilla Smith. After their marriage they farmed by Long Tom Lake and later moved to a farm located by the "old radio station."
Lawrence was always a farmer at heart. He enjoyed every season from the sowing of seeds to harvest time. The farm animals were his "trusting" friends.
On November 6, 1941 Lawrence lost his right arm while picking corn on the Elai Steen farm in Artichoke Township. This was two days before he was to leave for the military service. This was never a handicap, just an inconvenience.
In 1986 he retired from tending the land and moved to town. He continued to check his farm each day until his sudden illness in March of 2004. Lawrence enjoyed reading, word search puzzles and especially enjoyed spending time with his family.
Survivors include his wife, Arvilla; three daughters, Ethel, Judith, and Sherry; five grandchildren, Wade, Jeff, Christopher, Josh and Ashley; one great grandson, Nicholas; four brothers, Homer, Marvin, Ed, and Harold; four sisters, Murial, Hazel, Lorraine, and Delores; sister-in-law Darlene; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Janet and Russ; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Aaron and Sharon; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, Art, Lester and Chester; and two sisters, Alice and Luella.
