FAMILY REUNIONS
Fifty celebrate 50th reunion
Londesboro Hall was decorated with
streamers and balloons on Sunday, July 12,
1987 when approximately 50 descendants of
Anthony Lawson and his wife, Sarah
( Clark) Lawson met to celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of the first reunion. That first
reunion was held on July 19, 1937 at Harbour
Park, Goderich, with 125 family members
present. The family has met every year with
the exception of a few years during World
War II and 1985 which they decided to
cancel.
FAMILY HISTORY
Anthony Lawson left his home in
Yorkshire, England, in 1837 at 18 years of
age. After an ocean voyage of seven weeks
he made his way to Pickering Township
where he lived for about 13 years. He mar-
ried Sarah Clark, who, with her family has
also emigrated to Canada from Yorkshire.
They first settled on the Base Line, and a
few years later moved to a farm on the
Maitland Concession. In 1875 they moved to
a farm in Hullett Township (Concession 6,
Lot 13) where their son Robert arid-later-
their
nteatertheir grandson, Lorne Lawson lived. They
raised a family of seven boys: John,
William, Joseph, Thomas, Robert, Samuel,
Luke, and three daughters: Jane, Ruth,
Mary. The youngest daughter, Annie, died
at eight years of age.
THE REUNION
At the reunion family history chart and
old pictures were displayed and seemed to
spark interest in relationships. Doris and
Ted Warren showed slides of their recent
trip to England where they met a cousin,
Mary ( Lawson) Pashby, who is a descen-
dant of Anthony Lawson's brother, John
Lawson, who lived and farmed near Wilton,
North Yorkshire, England.
After a delicious smorgasbord supper,
Shirley Hannah welcomed everyone. A mo-
ment's silence was observed for those who
have passed away since. last year. Prizes
were given: for the birthday nearest the
reunion date, Clara Brindley; to Donna and
Charles Tilston, who came the longest
distance; to Glenyce and Ralph Glew for the
wedding anniversary closest to the reunion
date; to the largest family present, Barbara
and Paul Moss as well as Linda and Paul
Suplat (tied) ; to Martin Rust for the most
buttons on his clothing; and to the youngest
baby present, Darren Hart, son of Susan and
David Hart.
Due to dwindling attendance and the fact
that many have moved out of the area, it
was unanimously agreed that a Reunion will
not be held next year. It was suggested by
Barbara Moss that any remaining funds be
donated to Clinton Public Hospital from the
50th Anniversary Committee of the Lawson -
Clark Reunion.
