Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, November 17, 1904

Death of Mr. J. R. Hawthorne.
The Progressive Era regrets to learn of the death at his home in Pine 
Apple of Mr. J. R. Hawthorne lately. Mr. Hawthorne for some time had 
been a sufferer with a cancerous throat affection, and his death was 
due to this cause. Always of a bright, cheerful and happy disposition, 
his last moments were cheered and brightened by his happy disposition. 
He was an honest, generous and just man; and was an uncompusing  
democrat, who always rendered true service to his party, whenever 
occasion required it. He was a son of the late Col. J. R. Hawthorne of 
Pine Apple, and like his father, he ever regarded his word promise as 
his bond. His last prayer was that God would let him die an easy 
death, and surely the Master answered that entreaty, for his end was 
peaceful and without pain. When such men, as Dick Hawthorne die, they 
are a loss, to an entire people; and to his widow and children, our 
consoling words, are that "a good name is better than riches," and 
such a legacy, Mr. Hawthorne has left to his family and friends. Peace 
to his soul.
