KNOX -- Lawrence E. "Bug" Raven, 78, died Feb. 3, 1994, at Waterville. He was a self-employed farmer in Knox and retired from the Department of Transportation. He was a licensed Maine guide and enjoyed horse racing. As a young man, he was well-known as a pitcher for the Freedom/Knox town baseball team and later coached Little League. He is survived by his wife, Beatrice (Suitor) Raven of Knox; five sons, Melvin of Appleton, Robert of Burnham, Algene of Palermo, Arnold of Thorndike, Roger of Knox; three daughters, Janice Gardner of Montville, Barbara Giannotti and Myrna Raven of Unity; five brothers and eight sisters, 18 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first wife, Lillian (Stevens) Raven, in 1938. Friends may call at the Lawry Brothers Funeral Home, Main and Depot Streets, Unity, from 6-8 p.m. Sunday. Graveside services will be held in the spring at the East Knox Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of one's choice.
Bug married Lillian May Stevens on 1 Jul 1935 in Montville, ME.1 2 (Lillian May Stevens was born on 5 Dec 1917 in Waterville, ME,10 died on 19 Sep 1938 in Belfast, ME 11 and was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Waterville, ME.). The cause of her death was car accident.
Bug next married Beatrice Lillian "Bea" Suitor on 25 Nov 1939 in Springvale, ME.3 4 (Beatrice Lillian "Bea" Suitor was born on 7 May 1922 in Montville, ME, died on 13 Apr 2016 in Waterville, ME and was buried on 19 Apr 2016 in East Knox Cemetery, Knox, ME.)
Marriage Notes:
Their marriage record says they were married 25 Oct 1939, but they were actually married 25 Nov 1939 in Springvale where Bug was working with his future father-in-law, Isaac Suitor. It's a strange record, because it is stamped for York county, but it was filled out by Fred Kenney, the Knox town clerk.
