Wellington Lattimer Hawpe known as "Wake" for whom we can find no printed biography, but by talking to some of the "older generation" and corresponding with his grandson, Franz Hawpe, we have gathered some information on him. He was apparently much loved by his family. He was a man of small stature and afflicted with asthma. Born in 1856, he was only seven at the time of his father's death.
In March of 1880 he married his sweetheart, Albinia, sold out his share of the family land to his sister Cora and her husband, Jacob McPherson, and moved to Stephens County, Texas, between Brekenridge and Cisco. There they farmed and reared their children (six). Later he moved with his family to Indian Territory and bought a farm near the Rush Springs community in 1907. He and his family lived there as honored and respected citizens. He died in 1932.
