Apollo was still Warren and the old canal ran parallel with the river on the day almost a century ago when Samuel and Eliza (Eckman?) Hawk added tot heir family with the addtion of the man who ended his long life last night.
Survivors include Mrs. G. E. Ament, Mrs. L.R. Shockey, Miss Edith Hawk and A.W. Hawk. ALso surviving are 17 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Paulton residence with Rev. C.W. Cochran of Apollo FIrst Presbyterian Church in charge. Burial will be in Apollo Cemetery.
