Masonic history of 1892
BROTHER SAMUEL CROCKER LAWRENCE, 33°, Boston, Mass., was born in Medford, Mass., November 22, 1832. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town, and at Groton Academy, and graduated at Harvard University in 1855. Soon after leaving college, he went to Chicago, where for two years he was a partner in the banking firm of Bigelow & Lawrence. Returning to Massachusetts, he entered the firm of Daniel Lawrence & Sons, of Medford and Boston, of which he has long been the respected chief. He early showed a fondness for the military, and after several years of service in the State Militia, with rapid promotion from grade to grade, he was commissioned, in 1860, colonel of the Fifth Regiment of Massachusetts Militia. When the civil war broke out in 1861, he volunteered with his regiment and started, April 21, for Washington. The regiment fought with credit at the battle of Bull Run, where Col. Lawrence was wounded. In 1862, he was commissioned by Governor Andrew as a brigadier-general of the State Militia, which rank he resigned in 1864. He received, in 1869, a high compliment in being elected Commander of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, of Boston, the oldest and most distinguished military organization of the State. BROTHER LAWRENCE'S interest in Masonry, has run parallel with his activity in military affairs. He entered the fraternity in 1854, and from that time has been a prominent worker in the Masonic field. He has filled many of the highest positions in the various grades and-branches of Masonry, and his energy, method and executive ability have been of great and recognized service to the Craft. He has especially been an active promoter of the interests of the Scottish Rite, and it was largely due to his exertions that the breach which had long existed between rival bodies of the Rite was healed, and a union established, May 17, 1867, which has raised the Scottish Rite in this jurisdiction to an enviable position of prosperity. For fourteen years he stood at the head of the Rite in Massachusetts, resigning in 1879. BROTHER LAWRENCE'S career as a Mason culminated n his election as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, in December 1880. His election was a spontaneous tribute to his character and distinguished services to the Institution. He was thrice elected to this office, and during his term of service, the Masons of the State, largely through his influence and exertions, succeeded in liquidating the balance ($162,000) of the heavy debt, which had long rested upon the Grand Lodge, incurred in the building of the Temple in Boston. He took the presidency of the Eastern Railroad Company in 1875, at the moment of its financial shipwreck, and succeeded in keeping that valuable property intact, and in harmonizing the creditors and shareholders into arrangements which saved their interests, aggregating twenty millions in value, from the wasting effects of a struggle in bankruptcy, and at the same time preserved the extensive leasehold of the Company from disruption. BROTHER LAWRENCE was married in 1859 to Carrie R. Badger, daughter of Rev. William Badger, of Wilton, Maine.
