The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 31, 1917
Mr. John C. Hawthorn Passes To Great Beyond

Mr. John C. Hawthorn, one of the county's most prominent and pioneer citizens 
passed to the great beyond at the home of his step-son, Mr. Sam Norton, nine 
miles above town, last Tuesday evening about ten o'clock.  Mr. Hawthorn was in 
his 81st year.  He had only been sick for ten days, yet he had been feeble for 
some time owing to his ripe old age.  His death was due to old age.  The 
funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at Pine Level cemetery, being 
conducted by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.

Mr. Hawthorn was a Confederate Veteran and had resided all his life in Decatur 
and Grady counties.  He was a loyal member of Cairo Lodge of Masons and was a 
regular attendant up to the last few years when his age would not allow him to 
attend.  This gentleman was a very prominent citizen and was well known 
throughout the county, having been Justice of the Peace for a number of years

He is survived by two step-sons, Messrs. E. A. and Sam Norton, besides many 
relatives and friends.  The Messenger extends condolence to the bereaved ones.
