It is interesting that William had a daughter named LILY. Is that why the Lake is now named "LILY LAKE?" INTERESTING!

FERNHILL CEMETERY SAINT JOHN NB

George Lawton, died June 9th, 1878, aged 83 years, a native of Yorkshire, England. Also his wife, Mary, died Aug 26th, 1883, aged 80 years. Jane L, Wife of William Lawton died May 11th, 1907, aged 64 years. In memory of William Scott born Feb 14th, 1822, died Dec 24th, 1903. Also his wife Jane born Nov 18th, 1828, died Aug 29th, 1904 George Lawton was from Yorkshire, very close to Haworth where my beloved Bronte sisters lived. I visited the area and found it to be the most beautiful and most passionate place on earth...I felt it was and always had been my home. Darlene(Lawton) Love I will never be certain, medically, which side of the blanket I was born on...the Lawton side or the Cosman side...but my heart, my bones, my spirit, my instincts, my love, my life, my very being is entwined with the Yorkshire moors...a most elemental place...a place of rolling moors and great oceans of sky...a place of very private people who seek their own company in lonely places but are never lonely...for they are at home in wind and sky and heather and boulders and solitude. I am a poet and I know things...I am in touch with the universal memory and have been since a child. In Yorkshire, I met an "angel" or "ghost" or" spiritual messenger" on a bus...believe it or not...the hair on my neck and arms stood up and I was in shock....I was told....you are of this place...a child of the moors....
