Samuel Lawrason
Samuel McCutcheon Lawrason (July 31, 1852 – November 8, 1924) was an attorney who served two nonconsecutive terms in the Louisiana State Senate from West Feliciana Parish, located north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is principally known for the Lawrason Act of 1898, by which municipalities in Louisiana may incorporate into towns or cities without specific clearance from the state legislature.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lawrason, Samuel McCutcheon )〕〔''A Dictionary of Louisiana Biography'' uses 1909-1924 files from the law firm Lawrason & Kilbourne in St. Francisville, Louisiana, and certain West Feliciana Parish records in writing its biography of Samuel Lawrason.〕
==Background==
Lawrason was born in New Orleans to George Carson Lawrason and the former Zelia McCutcheon. He was educated in France and Spain before he received a degree in 1872 in civil engineering from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. Two years later he received a LL.D. degree from Tulane University Law School, then part of the institution known as the University of Louisiana at New Orleans, where he subsequently began his law practice.〔 Lawrason also held interests in cotton and sugar planting at different locations along the Mississippi River.〔
In 1875, Lawrason married the former Harriet "Hattie" Mathews, daughter of Charles Lewis Mathews and the former Penelope Stewart. He then relocated his law practice and residence to West Feliciana Parish. The couple had nine children: Zelia Lawrason, Annie Mathews Lawrason Butler, George C. Lawrason, Charles Lawrason, Helen Stewart Lawrason Kilpatrick, Margaret Butler Lawrason, Thomas Butler Lawrason, and Levering Lawrason.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mathews-Ventress=Lawrason Family Papers )〕 In 1891, the Lawrasons' next-to-the-youngest child, Samuel, Jr., died at three months of age on May 8 of that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samuel Lawrason, Jr. (1891) )〕
Lawrason was affiliated with the Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francisville, the seat of West Feliciana Parish. He was also a member of the Masonic lodge.〔
