   JOHN A. HAWKINS, farmer and stock-raiser, was born near where he now resides,
in Washington Township, October 15, 1848, and is one of four living children in
a family of eight born to Jonathan and Elizabeth (Aikman) Hawkins, who came from
Daviess County to Greene County, Ind., in 1847, where they died in about 1871
and 1878 respectively, members of long standing in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. John A. Hawkins was reared in his native county, receiving in youth but
a common school education, and on attaining his majority began doing for
himself. He selected farming as his vocation through life, as did his father
before him, and is the present owner of 123 acres of good farming and grazing
land. In 1872, he was united in marriage with Miss Louisa Casey, who was born in
Tennessee, May 25, 1849, a daughter of Dempsy and Dicy Casey, and by her is the
father of three daughters, named Ida Belle, Dicy Elizabeth and Louisa. Mr.
Hawkins is an enterprising and progressive citizen, a Republican in politics,
and himself and wife belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
