JOHN LAWRENCE DIED
OF HEART FAILURE
Orleans Hunter Was Not Lost in Es
sex County Forests. Died Day
He Left Camp and Traveled
But Few Miles.
Most stories regarding the death of
John Lawrence while hunting in the
Essex county forests last week are
untrue. An autopsy performed on
the body at Orleans Tuesday after
noon shows that Mr Ijlwtshcp Ad.A
of heart failure, and the facts of the
finding of the body bear out this fact.
Mr. Lawrence and his brother-in-law.
Edward Grow, were in a. Griffith
& Carpenter lumber camp in Norton j
for the huntine- season. On Tnpsdnv 1
M. Grow got wet and tired and decid-
ed on Wednesday not to hunt. Mr.
JnT'SrrTw Sl0nbUdid K0t
? SwrnS? Eigiw?- W bt
came alarmed the next day, and al-
though he was not well, traveled out
of the woods to Norton, a distance of
some seven miles.
On Friday morning three men
started into the forest to pick up the
Lawrence trail in the snow. In the
meantime word had reached another
hunters' camp a few miles from the
Lawrence and Grow camp, in which
were D. W. Hildreth of Newport, O.
H. Mossman of Barton and Thomas
Buzzo and E. C Skinner of Orleans,
the latter being a distant relative of
Mr. Lawrence,
Mr. Skinner organized a searching
expedition and took up the trail, but
Saturday night overtook them in the
forest, where they camped, the trail
being difficult to follow in places be
cause another hunter had followed
Lawrence's tracks for some distance,
finally swinging to his own camp,
and the searching party, not knowing
which track to take, followed the
wrong track many miles-
On Sunday morning the Lawrence
toward
track was again taken up. It swung
camp. Soon there were evi-
dences that Mr. Lawrence was not
feeling right because he had used his
gun as a cane. Soon the gun was
found stuck in the snow and a few
rods further was the body of Law
rence, face down, only one and one
half miles from camp. He had trav
eled a distance not to exceed seven
miles in all, there were no sigrfc of
wandering and he was headed
straight for camD. undoubtedly dying
Ion Wednesday afternoon, the day he
went out.
The body was finally gotten out
of the woods to Island Pond and to
Orleans on Tuesday. The wife and
children have the great sympathy of
their wide acquaintance.
To know that Mr. Lawrence did not
die of starvation, -exhaustion or pri
vation and that he might have been
overtaken in death wherever he had
been is a bit of comfort to his friends
after having credited the first rumors
that came from the Essex county
woods.
