There is a graveyard in Williamson called the Dr. George W. Lawson Cemetery. It has approximately 30 graves. Have these gravestones been transcribed? I would like to know who else is buried there - besides George Lawson. Does anyone know of Lawson graves in other cemeteries in the area? I understand that Williamson was once part of Logan County, but is now in Mingo County. When was Mingo County formed? Darlene
