As Lawson Mead is missing from the census records of the family, and I couldn't find a death I had a look on census records and he is in a Hospital School. He is noted as orphan, so I would imagine that it is some kind of a home but can't be sure.

Interesting as you mentioned, at the beginning that the person you were looking for may be in a home. I know this isn't him but it may have been the fuel for a family story.
