In 1991 their oldest child, Raymond, wrote the following about his father:
"Until 1926, John Carson Hawkins was a tenant farmer. During 1926, he bought a 1926-model Ford roadster, and in order to pay for it, he went to work for the Pure Oil Company refinery in Ardmore, intending to work there only until he paid for his car.
Instead, when he retired from Pure Oil 28 years later, he was still struggling to pay for a car! Pure Oil Company closed down the Ardmore refinery at the height of the Great Depression, around 1933, and for a few months thereafter, J. C. Hawkins worked at whatever odd job he could find in order to support his family.
During the fall of 1934, he came to Nederland and went to work for Pure Oil's Smith's Bluff Refinery, where he remained until age 64, retiring in 1954.
After the Nederland post office was moved to 1220 Boston (into what is now the east half of Rienstra Furniture Company), J.C. Hawkins worked as custodian of the post office for a few years, and retired from there as well on the small pension of $11.00 a month. Eventually, ill health caused from heart problems forced him to leave the post office, and his bad heart, coupled with severe injuries from an auto accident, resulted in his death on March 26, 1973."
