DEATH OF MR. HAWKINS.—
This community was sadly shacked
on Monday last when it became'
known that Mr. John Hawkins
of the London Road North had pass-
ed away Truly, "In the midst of life
we as in ,death." So accustomed to
seeing his familiar face, and4 eheery
emilc from time to time, the sudden-
ness and grimness of the event seems
all the more stirring and incredible.
The deceased had not enjoyed good
health for many years, but no nerson
ever dreamed that the end was so
near. He was attending to his farm
duties as usual on Saturday, and while
assisting in the removal of a rack
from a wagon had the aillsfortunet to
rupture his stomach. The pains that
followed were intense and the/ family
physician was at once summoteed, but
on diagnosing his case it was found
that medical aid could do nothing ta-
wee& saving his life And: on Monday
morning he passed away, Mr. Hawk-
ins was a native of Usborne, being
a san of Mr George Hawkins, who
stip resides an the old.homestead, op-
posite *deceaaed's aim, and whet 'has
reached the great age of 95 years. Af-
ter gettinee a common school educa-
tion the deceased qualified for a
teschei and for several years, taught
school just east of town. After this.
he took „up farming which( he contin-
ued ur to the tirae, of his death. The
deceased was aged 54 years, 7months
anti 8 days. About 20 years( ago 1»e
married Miss Jane Chapman, who pre
deceased him about two years. Mr.
Hawkins was a man of high Ideals;
he numbered his friends as many and
was one of the most highly retspected
and esteemed residents of the com-
munity -He took a deep interest in
public matters and waa well nformed
on all public issues. As a farm,ea. he
had few equals and by his industrious
habits and faithful application to duty
had accumulated considerable of this
world's goods He was a staunch. Con-
servative and a valued member of
Trivitt Memorial Church. He is sur-
vived by one san, also.his father and
faur brothers—Thomas of Windsor,
Joseph of town, Fr-ank of Usborne &
George in Calgary. At* the *lime of
goine -tc press arrangements for the -
funeral had not been completed.
