________________________________
1912 - 2002 Henry Lawty, often referred to as "Hank" by his many friends, passed away on March 7, 2002.
He was born December 9, 1912 to Kathryn Johnson Lawty from Denmark and Christopher Lawty from Scarborough, England in the house his father built on the Eastern Washington Homestead known as Royal Slope. Henry walked two miles to attend classes in a one room House. An industrious man, he followed his father into logging camps to work in the kitchen, then on to the Boeing Company where he was a crane operator. In 1939, he met and married Betty Putnam, daughter of Glen and Elsie Putnam of Arlington.
Then his independent spirit took hold and he bought into the turkey business, running a full operation from incubating eggs to dressing the birds for sale at the home production site. He also made deliveries to area businesses. He was proud of his development of a "Broad-breasted (meaty) Bronze" turkey. Henry was active with the school board and he and Betty participated in events at the Sisco Heights Community Hall.
Next he moved his family back to the homestead site where he set up his well and irrigation, then built his barn and family home. He raised black angus and charlais cattle and grew crops.
Henry lost a brother, Douglas, on the homestead at age three. Another brother, Malcolm, a pilot, died in the Second World War.
His eldest son, Marine Corps Major, Glenn Charles Lawty, a Vietnam vet with two tours behind him, drowned while on a fishing trip in Florida.
His devoted wife of 61 years died on October 7, 2001.
Henry is survived by four remaining children, Malcolm in Virginia, Katie in Seattle, Christal of Othello, and Jon in North Bend, WA. There are 12 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Henry was loved and respected by all and he will be greatly missed.
He asked that no service be held and that his ashes be interred at the Pioneer Cemetery on Royal Slope in Eastern Washington.
