Born in Ontario on 22 April 1876, son of William Thomas Lathwell (1845-1926) and Annie Kneeshaw (c1846-1922), he obtained a BA degree, became a teacher, and arrived in Manitoba by the 1890s. His career included a Principalship at Austin School (1898-1899) and teaching at North Plympton School (1899), after which he was Principal of Crystal City School (1900-1901) and Glenboro School (1903-1904). On 2 January 1907, he married Florence Minerva Tweed (1879-1959) in the Rural Municipality of Louise. They moved to Calgary, Alberta soon thereafter and had at least six children: William George Lathwell (1907-?), George Thomas Robert Lathwell (1909-?), Charles Daniel Lathwell (1910-1978), Harry Tweed Lathwell (c1913-?), Florence Tweedie Lathwell (c1914-?), and Edward Russell Lathwell (c1920-?). In Calgary, he was an active participant in municipal affairs, being elected to City Council (1910-?, Ward Two), and coming in third for the Mayoral contest (1916). During this time, he became a barrister and partnered with J. E. Varley in 1908, remaining in the profession into the early 1920s. In 1922, he returned to teaching, including at South Calgary High School (1922-?). By 1926, he lived at 26-24-2W5 at Springbank. He died at DeBolt on 15 November 1932.
