JAMES HOLLIDAY HAWKINS.—Energy and well-directed ambition, guided and controlled
by good judgment, have constituted the foundation upon which John H. Hawkins has
built his success. He is a native of Van Alstyne, Texas, and his birth occurred
November 22, 1887, a son of Jesse and Laura Hawkins. His father was a native of
Mississippi and his death occurred twenty years ago. Mr. Hawkins' mother passed
away in 1915. John H., the subject of this review, attended the public schools
of Texas. His father was a rancher and dealt in cattle quite extensively. At the
age of sixteen Mr. Hawkins started out in life and readily found employment on
the ranches of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. In 1905 he came to California and
followed various vocations, and in 1915 he purchased an eighty-acre farm, which
he has mostly in alfalfa. Mr. Hawkins was united in marriage with Katherine
Harvey, a native of Oregon. By a former marriage Mrs. Hawkins has two children:
Roy, aged twenty, and Hazel, aged fifteen. Fraternally Mr. Hawkins is a member
of the I. O. O. F. of Imperial and formerly held membership in the Woodmen of
the World. Mr. Hawkins has achieved success in life as a result of his own
efforts, as he started out in life without influential friends or financial aid.
