Hawkins. The only information it gives is a death date of Feb. 16, 1888. I have looked for the obituary in the Republic County newspapers online (http://belleville.newspaperarchive.com/Default.aspx) and have not come up with anything. Not all of the county papers are up yet so if there is an obit, it may be in one of the ones not up on line yet. I have not found anything in our files on him or his family either. His location in the Hawks cemetery is Lot 128 1, if that helps. Republic County Historical Society Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
