Perry Melvin Hawkins Long-time Tionesta resident Perry Melvin Hawkins was a true believer in the value of education. So much so, that Mr. Hawkins worked his entire life to provide a fund, upon his demise, to help students who wanted to attain higher eord their goal. Mr. Hawkins passed away of natural causes on June 9, 2004, in Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon, at the age of 87. Never married, Mr. Hawkins bequeathed every penny he could save during his lifetime, to help provide student scholarships through a substantial Hawkins Trust to be arranged with Modoc Joint Unified School District. Born in Clearwater, Idaho on June 20, 1916, to Madison Hawkins and Lila Belle Sylvester, he loved to hunt and graduated from schools in Klamath Falls, OR. He spent a year of study while working his way through the University of California, Berkeley. But following a disabling accident at the end of his first year at college, he was unable to continue his position at the college and unable to further continue to fund his college education. He left school and began working in lumber mills and box factories for several years that followed. He took night classes and was hired as a Biologist with the State of California. He worked throughout northern California at the inspection stations from Truckee and Reno's bordertown stations to Modoc's Highway 139 inspection station, before retiring, years later. He lived at Willow Ranch for a time and then purchased the Timber Mountain Store in 1945 in Tionesta. He later sold the business to Connie Parsons. He earned the respect of his long-time neighbor and friend of 50 years, William S. Muller of Tionesta, who said Mr. Hawkins "lived like a miser to save every penny he could to further the education of others." He is survived by a niece near Applegate and a nephew in New York. A memorial service is pending and will be held at Mr. Hawkins' Tionesta residence. Davenport's Chapel of the Good Shepherd, Klamath Falls, OR. is in charge of cremation ~~~~~~ Billie C. & Anita 'Jean' Reynolds Family Researcher of "The Last Frontier" Modoc County, California --- Our outgoing mail is checked by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus.
