HAWKINS MONUMENT

Inscription on front reads as follows:

SYLVESTER HAWKINS
BORN MAY 1, 1819
DIED FEB 1, 1895
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN


Sylvester Hawkins was born in New York according to census records.

His wife, Clarissa is buried in the same family plot (Greenwood Cemetery 
records)  She was born about 1825 in New York and family tree information 
sources say that she died March 30, 1898.  

Adeline Hawkins, Feb 8, 1934 buried 2-8-1934 Greenwood Cemetery Records.  
Census says she was born Feb 1850 in Michigan

Nancy Hawkins also buried in same family plot 1839 - Feb 7, 1927 buried 2-10-
1927.  Her husband, Harvey Hawkins, born June 28, 1933 and died Oct 7, 1931 is 
buried in Maple Grove Cemetery in Mason, Ingham County, Michigan.

There is a small headstone in the family plot which is unreadable.  Could 
probably be for Clarissa or Adeline Hawkins.

Note:  Inscription is on the opposite of the monument from the photo.  It is 
very faint and is very hard to read.  The inscription hardly showed up in a 
closeup photo taken.
