Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. MAT LAWRENCE. Uncle Mat Lawrence is eighty-nine years old, straight as an arrow, six feet three inches tall, can read and write without glasses and is as well preserved a citizen as can be found in Kentucky for his age. He lives on the Hardscrabble and Oak Ridge turnpike road five miles from town and frequently rides horseback to town by himself. He is a Democrat in politics and very intense in his convictions and is frequently a delegate to state and county conventions. He owns a good farm of 100 acres and has a nice home and is a typical Kentucky gentleman of the old school. Lawrence = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/grant/lawrence.m.txt
