The Franklin Sun, February 13, 1875, Page 3, Column 1
     It becomes our sad duty to have to chronicle the death of another of our 
most valued and esteemed citizens.  Robert T. Hawthorn, Sheriff of this parish, 
died of Pneumonia, after an illness of 8 days, on Sunday the 7th inst.  Few men 
will be more universally regretted than Mr. Hawthorn.  Prompt and efficient in 
the discharge of the duties of his office, his courteous deportment at all 
times, won the regard of those who were associated with him in business 
relations.  A trust-worthy friend, and a kind husband and father, his death 
will leave a void in the community which will be hard to fill.
     On Monday, at 3 o'clock P.M., the remains were taken in charge by the 
Winnsboro Grance, of which deceased was a member, and deposited in the family 
grave yard 2 miles from town.  The solumn [sic] and impressive Funeral rites of 
the Order were performed by Rev. A.W. Moore, Chaplain to the Grange, in 
presence of a large number of mourning friends.  We tender his sorrowing family 
our heartfelt sympathy in their deep bereavement.

NOTE:  Page 2, Column 1 of the same issue announces the Sicily Island Masons 
will hold a funeral ceremony at Hawthorn's grave.
