Speakers eulogizing the life of Lawrence, who was returning from attending the World Series in New York, were Bishop Richard Olsen and W. K. Dye, of Neola, and Ovey Richardson, a former Basin resident who now resides in Salt Lake City. Each paid tribute to the active life of Lawrence and gave assurance that death was just a beginning of a fuller eternal eter-nal life. Bishop Olsen read several poems to clinch his thoughts and expressions. The opening song, "In The Garden," Gar-den," was sung by Mrs. Kate Peterson and Mrs. Lecta Horrocks. A quartet composed of Mrs. Peterson, Pet-erson, Mrs. Horrocks ' and Lazelle and Ferris Henrie, sang "Beyond The Sunset;" and the closing song, "We Will Meet At the End of the Trail, Dear Heart," was sung by Mrs. Dorothy Luck. Prayer at the home was given by Roger Horrocks; the opening prayer was by Bishop Lazelle Henrie; the benediction by James O. Peterson and the grave was dedicated by Dr. R. V. Larson.

Lawrence was discharged in May, 1954 at Camp Boren in California Cali-fornia from the United States Army Air Corps after serving his country four years, thirty-six months of that time being spent in Japan. He received his preliminary prelim-inary training at the Lackland air Base, and gained special training in communications, radio and radar, ra-dar, at Camp Gordon in Georgia. While detailed to Japan, Lawrence was in charge of all communications communica-tions including radar and radio, for his outfit. It was radio and the World Series that prompted his ill-fated eastern trip which started Sept. 29. He was investigating a possible tie-up with RCA while in New York. |
