General regret was expressed yesterday over the death of William V. Lawlor, on
of Butte's best known business men, who succumbed early yesterday morning
after a short illness of intestinal trouble.  The majority of his friends did
not know that he was ill, he having only gone to the hospital a few days ago.

Mr. Lawlor was born 54 years ago near Center Grove, Ia., and came from there
to Butte during the '80s.  For five years he a J.D. Slemons were partners in
the real estate business and did well until Mr. Lawlor's wife became ill and
he went to Los Angeles to live.  She died there and later he removed to
Seattle, where he entered the banking business with Benjaimn[sic] White.  From
there he returned to Butte and entered the realty field with J. H. Rowe.
Later he joined interests with Mr. Rowe and J. T. O'Brien and upon the
latter's retirement from business the firm became Lawlor & Rowe.  He was
possessed of great business ability and acquired considerable wealth in Butte.

Mr. Lawlor was twice married and is survived by his wife, three sons and a
daughter.  Mr. Lawlor and son William are in this city.  Reed is studying law
in Los Angeles and Edward and Margaret are attending school in southern
California.  Mr. Lawlor was a member of the Butte council of the Knights of
Columbus, under whose auspices the funeral will be held from the family home,
701 West Galena street, Friday morning at 9:00 o'clock, proceeding thence to
