Everett Lawley House

The Everett Lawley House, built in 1921, stands as a symbol of early 20th-century architecture and local family heritage. Everett Lawley, born on February 17, 1892, in Beeville, Texas, married Alma Genivieve Dilworth on December 1, 1920. Alma, the daughter of C.E. and Lenora Dilworth, grew up in the area, and the couple chose a site near her family’s home to build their own. Together, Everett and Alma had one son, Everett Lawley, Jr.

Throughout his life, Everett was committed to both his family and community. He registered for military service during World War I in 1918 and was active in various local endeavors. The house he and Alma built reflects the values of hard work, dedication, and family ties that were so important during this period of early 20th-century Texas.

Everett passed away on October 19, 1962, after a life spent contributing to his community and supporting his family. He is interred at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio.

The Everett Lawley House remains a cherished part of local history, representing both the personal legacy of the Lawley family and the broader historical evolution of the community.
