Mr. Giddings, Icantil Resident Passes Away

family. Lawson was a member of the F. & A. M. of Pasadena and had retired, some 
years ago as manager of the Mt. View Cemetery.	
Survivors include his widow, Lilyan, Cantil, mother, Jennie H. of Pasadena; three 
brothers, Levi W., Laguna Beach; J. Reed and Paul, Pasadena; two sisters, June

Private funeral services were conducted by the Masonic fraternity at the Mt. 
View Cemetery Chapel followed by cremation. Arrangements were handled by 
O'Donnell Funeral Home.
