Florence Lawrence (born Florence Annie Bridgwood; January 2, 1886 – December 28, 1938) was a Canadian-American stage performer and film actress. She is often referred to as the "first movie star", and was thought to be the first film actor to be named publicly until evidence published in 2019 indicated that the first named film star was French actor Max Linder. At the height of her fame in the 1910s, she was known as the "Biograph Girl" for work as one of the leading ladies in silent films from the Biograph Company. She appeared in almost 300 films for various motion picture companies throughout her career.

Lawrence and Winifred buried their daughter as soon as the snow melted enough for the ground to thaw.

The McAdams - Valerie, Jackson and his wife, Louise, their son Patrick and his wife, Clara - and Beth joined them at a cemetery near the river.

The Father gave Florence's eulogy and silence fell over everyone as he spoke from memory passage Job 1:21, the words far too appropriate for the loss of young life.

Lawrence and Winifred both took dirt in their palms, throwing it over the small casket that laid within the ground until Winifred couldn't take it anymore.

Unable to look any longer, Winifred turned away and clung to her husband with desperation. By the time the undertaker came over to finish the burial, both were uncertain which of them was even holding the other up.

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” — Job 1:21
