Mrs. Nancy Lawson (Mrs. George Lawson), was born September 10,1843 at Connersville, Indiana. She was married in 1865 and in the early seventies came to Iowa and twenty years ago to Ida County. For the last eighteen years, she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Jessie Eells in Ida Grove. She united with the Presbyterian Church at the age of sixteen and so long as she was strong enough she took an active part in church work. Now at the age of 81, she is deeply interested in all the affairs of church and state. She is able to read the daily papers and enjoys visiting with friends, although not able to get out during the winter months.
