He practiced the medical profession in New York, and in 1868 came to Council Bluffs. He was married in New York in 1846 and has been blessed with two children - Frank E. and Ella M. Frank E. was born in 1848, and in 1878 married Elizabeth Cody Stanton, who has born him one daughter - Margaret Livingston Stanton. Ella M. was born in 1851, and in 1871 married John Monell, son of Dr. Monell of Omaha, Neb. They had one daughter, Anna Mabel, who came from Omaha on a visit to Dr. Lawrence in Council Bluffs, and while there died, in February 1880, aged two and one-half years.
