Edwin Hawley of Leonia NJ was killed in China on 17 Jun 1924. He left a wife in the US. This was in the 19 Jun 1924 edition of the Jersey Observer, page one, column 6, below the fold. It's on reel 5169 at either the NJ State Library or the State Archives in Trenton, NJ. Sorry I can't remember where it was but I was at both places that day and neglected to write that down. I just found the note today and can't remember, of course. This looks like the family, even though no children were mentioned in the paper. This Edwin was a salesman for an export house and the one in the Observer was a manager for an American company. 1920 Leonia, Bergen, New Jersey Edwin C Hawley, 38, abt 1882 Massachusetts, HOH, Winfred Hawley, 36, abt 1884 Massachusetts, wife Helen F Hawley, 13, abt 1907 China, daughter Chester W Hawley, 10, abt 1910 China, son FYI, they live in FL in 1930 - Precinct 71, Dade, Florida Louis G Ruggles, 46, abt 1884, Mass, HOH Winifred Ruggles, 47, abt 1883 Mass, wife Chester Hawley, 20, abt 1910 China, stepson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
