Thanks Jenn and Gail for taking the time to look this up. Definitely the Laura, Lawson, and Virginia in 1930 are mine. It's very possible the Lawson Earl at Girard College is mine also. I believe the father may have been deceased by 1920, and the family was poor, and Girard College was a tuition free boarding school for low income families. Thanks again for your help.

Girard was originally a school for poor fatherless boys. I knew some boys that went there. So if this is Lawson, it would mean his father is dead. Girard was in the Philly area. -----Original Message----- From: DbrhStan@comcast.net [mailto:DbrhStan@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 10:46 PM To: PA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACEN] EARL, Lawson, Montgomery Cty., 1920 Thanks Jenn and Gail for taking the time to look this up.
