ASAHEL G. HAWKINS
        Asahel G. Hawkins, only child of Mr. and Mrs George B. Hawkins of Lansing,
was born in Vermontville, October 14, 1889. When he was three years old his
parents moved to Lansing where he has since resided. He was a home-loving
boy and when he grew to manhood, the home ties were even stronger. He and
his mother were real pals, and while his grandmother, Mrs. Lucinda Hawkins
was living, he made frequent visits here to see her.
        He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles.
        He passed away at his home, 309 West Grand River Avenue at 8:20 Sunday
morning, April 28, 1929, aged 39 years, 6 months and 14 days.
        The body was taken to the Joy Funeral Home Tuesday where services were
held at one o'clock. In the absence of his pastor, Rev. Thomas Sheehan,
pastor of the First M. E. church, officiated. Burial was made in the family
lot at Woodlawn Cemetery, Vermontville.
