Joseph S. Hawks was born in the state of Maine, May 26, 1822, and died in Hesper, Iowa, Nov. 8, 1902. On Dec. 25, 1851, Mr. Hawks was married to Miss Deborah W. Goddard. To them were born two sons, Sewall G. and Avin A., both of whom, with the mother, survive to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. Sometime in the sixties Mr. Hawks, with his family, came to Hesper and since that time he has been one of our prosperous and honored citizens. He was a member of the Friends church and was always loyal both financially and as an attendant upon church services. The funeral services were held at the Friends church on the 10th, Dr. Philip Slack officiating.
