Personal Matters
...
Many Government servants are retiring under the provisions of the Superannuation Act, but probably few of them have had the varied experiences of Mr. James Lawton, who for the past thirty-six years has been connected with the defence forces of the Dominion. In 1860 Mr. Lawton enlisted as a drummer in the 66th Wiltshire Regiment, famously known as the "Springers." He was for ten years attached to that regiment, seeing service in Canada and India. In 1870 Mr. Lawton came from the latter place to New Zealand, and the martial spirit being inherent he joined the Armed Constabulary. Since severing his connection with that corps Mr. Lawton has been on the staff of the Defence Stores, and on Wednesday he was the recipient of a presentation from his comrades to mark the occasion of his retirement. Captain O'Sullivan, Director of Military Stores, in making the presentation, which took the form of a travelling rug and case of pipes, referred to the esteem in which Mr. Lawton was generally held, and on behalf of those assembled wished him many years of health and prosperity to enjoy his well-earned rest.

Lawton - In fond and loving memory of James, beloved husband of Sarah Ann Lawton, who passed away at Wellington on the 27th, February, 1912.
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone;
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
The midnight stars are beaming
Upon his silent grave;
Sleeping, without dreaming,
Lies the one we could not save.
Inserted by his loving wife and family
