"Jefferson County Republican", Aug. 5, 1898, Pg. 1, Col. 2

Fifty years ago this evening about 6 o'clock Jeff HAWOOD drove into this city and put up a hotel north of the northwest corner of the square, kept by a man named Geo. HAWN. Jeff's mother kept a boarding house in the house where George SHRINER now lives. Jeff, of course, was a young man at that time and came west to grow up with the country, and he is still here and enjoying life. May he live long and always have plenty.
