VETERANS CARRY FRIEND TO GRAVE
-----
The funeral of James L. Hawkins, former chief of police, State detective and a G. A. R. veteran, who died on Friday, last, took place from the home of his son-in-law, William J. Lackey, No. 408 West Twenty-third street this afternoon. The funeral was largely attended, many veterans of the Civil War, some of whom served in the First Delaware Battery with Colonel Hawkins, being at the home of the deceased. The services at the home were in charge of the Rev. George C. Hall, archdeacon of St. John's P. E. Church.
the pall bearers were Colonel John W. Brear, John Kelley, William W. Lackey, and Louis Claire, all of whom served in the First Delaware Battery with Mr. Hawkins and William J. Hemphill, a lifelong friend.
Interment was made at Riverview cemetery where members of Lafayette Lodge, No, 14, A. F. and A. M., had charge of the services.
