GRIP CLAIMS AS VICTIM WILLIAM B. LAWSON
Whose Death Yesterday Removes a Prominent Civil Engineer From the West.
William B. Lawson, one of the best known railroad and consulting civil engineers of Colorado, died yesterday at his residence, 1535 Emerson Street, after an illness of only two days. Friday afternoon he returned from Pueblo suffering from the grip, which was followed early yesterday morning by a stroke of apoplexy, which resulted in death at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Lawson was born in Illinois fifty-five years ago, and after receiving his education as an engineer in Alton, Ill., he went into the employ of the Burlington as a rodman. From that he rose steadily until when he came to Colorado fourteen years ago he was assistant engineer of the Burlington. He was in charge of the Burlington survey for a line into northwestern Colorado through Boulder County and Middle Park. Later he was engaged in railroad construction in Idaho. A few years ago he was employed as engineer of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and was examining the reservoir which the company is building at Pueblo when he was taken ill. He had an enviable reputation for accuracy that rendered him one of the best known engineers of the West. Mrs. Lawson survives her husband, but there where no children. Arrangements for the funeral have not been made.
