About Sylvester Lawson
Syl Lawson was married in Oakland August 28, 1895 to Miss Carrie Overacker, who was born in Portland, Mich., the daughter of Philander and Marcella (Headley) Overacker, the former born in Michigan and the latter in Vermont. The mother passed away in Michigan, and the father now makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. Lawson. She is a graduate of the state normal at San Jose, being a member of the class of 1892. After her graduation she taught school for three years. Mr. and Mrs. Syl Lawson are the parents of four children, Howard, Walter, Emma and Justus. Mrs. Lawson is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and takes an active interest in its various organizations. Mr. Lawson is identified with the Woodmen of the World and politically he is a Republican. In addition to the partnership interests already mentioned, Syl Lawson was for five years associated with the Alameda Beet Company as superintendent. On the advent of the company in Yolo county he became interested in securing beet land and in creating an interest in beet-raising among the farmers. It is interesting to note in this connection that the first beets were hauled to the railroad in sacks and dumped into the cars.
