  LEVI H. HAWKINS, of Summit Lake township, is a native of Winchester, Frederick

county, Virginia, as were his ancestors for several generations. His father,

John Hawkins, is now living in the state of West Virginia. His mother, Emma

(Ramey) Hawkins, died in her native state thirty-five years ago.



  To these parents Levi Hawkins was born Oct. 11, 1857. He secured an education

in his native state, was reared on a farm there, and made his home in Virginia

until 1882. In the fall of that year he moved to Will county, Ill., and farmed

there four years. He then moved to Sioux county, Iowa, and engaged in farming

until 1893. That year he arrived in Nobles county, bought his farm -northwest

quarter of section 12, Summit Lake township-and has resided there since. In

addition to the home farm he owns eighty acres one mile south of his home.



  Mr. Hawkins was married in Illinois Feb. 22, 1886, to Lucinda J. Patterson, a

native of Illinois. To them has been born one child, Pearl, born May 9, 1890.



  In local public affairs Mr. Hawkins has always taken an interest, and has held

several township and school offices. He has been school treasurer for the last

nine years and township assessor for the last five years. He served as road boss

for several years and is now road inspector for Summit Lake township. He served

on the town board one year. Mr. Hawkins is a member of the Presbyterian church

of Reading, of the M. W. A. of Reading, and of the I. O. O. F. of Worthington.
