Mortimer J. Lawrence had two sons whom he named Mortimer. His oldest son was named Mortimer Lyman Lawrence, but that Mortimer went by "M. Lyman." His second son (pictured above) was Mortimer William Lawrence and went by "Mortimer W." Both of these sons, as well as his third son who unexplainably was not called "Mortimer," were active in the family publishing business. This photo was taken shortly before Mortimer W. Lawrence's untimely death in 1909 at the age of just 36. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection.Download Original File
