WILBUR S. HAWKINS FUNERAL RITES
Funeral of Wilbur S. Hawkins Held at Wesley Chapel, Friday Afternoon
of Last Week.---Rev. F. W. Stoll Delivered Funeral Discourse.---
Burial Was At Albin Cemetery.
As announced in the Independent, last issue, the funeral rites
of Wilbur S. Hawkins, who passed away at his home, southwest of
Newman, very suddenly on July 16, were held at Wesley Chapel, on
Friday, July 18. There was a large concourse of relatives and
friends present to pay their last respects to the deceased. The
services were conducted by Rev. F. W. Stoll, of Windsor, assisted by
Rev.B. M. Petty, of Newman.
Rev. Stol delivered a very fine memorial address to his
departed friend, and told of the friendship which existed between
Mr. Hawkins and himself. He had visited the deceased only a day or
two before his death, and at the time Mr. Hawkins had asked him to
deliver his funeral sermon, stating that he didn’t believe he was
long for this world. Mr. Hawkins hadn’t been feeling well for many
weeks, but his sudden death’was indeed a severe shock to his family
and friends.
Music for the funeral service was furnished by a quartette
composed of Mr. Charles L. Reed, Mrs. P. P. Long, Messrs. A. S.
Hawkins and H. B. Smith with Miss Martha Smith presiding on the
piano. The following songs were sung The Old Rugged Cross, It Is
Well With My Soul,’ and Nearer Still Nearer.
The services at the grave-. were under the auspices of I. 0. R.
M., Lodge No. 253, of Newman. and the burial ceremonies were very
impressive. The members of the order had charge of the flowers,
which were numerous and beautiful.
The active pall-bearers were: Jay T. Burgett, Charles C.
Burgett, T. P. Burgett, Ira E. Atto, Ray Allen and Clinton Boyer.
Honorary pall-bearers were Scott Burgett, Luther Winkler, J.
W. Boyer. J. W. Fansler, E. Jones and S. N. Albin.
The following obituary was read at the services by Rev. Stoll:
“Wilbur Sherman Hawkins, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Hawkins,
was born in Newman Township, December 9, 1865, and died at his home
on July 16, 1930, aged 64 years, 7 months and 7 days.
Mr. Hawkin’s mother died when he was only eight months of age
and was taken into the care of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hicks, who took
care of him until he was six years old. At this time his father re-
married and the boy was taken into his own home. Here on the farm he
grew to manhood and on September 11, 1887, he was married to Miss
Laura Haverstick. To this union five children were born: Mrs. Vina
A. Ayers and Mrs. Maude May Long, of near Newman; Wilbur Samuel, at
home; John Dewey, of near Camargo; and Allen, also at home.
In March, Mr. and Mrs. hawkins moved to the farm which is now
their home. Here in this same place they have lived of more than
forty years, among their friends and neighbors.
Mr. Hawkins was a lover of music and loved to sing the good
old songs of faith and hope. Some of his happiest hours seemed to be
from the book "The Newman Independent -- 77 Years of Clippings"
