George W. Hawksworth

   In the death of George W. Hawksworth which occurred at his home No. 
1123 Eighth avenue, yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock, this community
loses one of its most highly esteemed citizens, the church one of its
most valued members, the Pennsylvania railroad company a trusted
employee, and his family and friends one whose memory will long be
fondly cherished. The deceased was born in Kent county, Md., May 31,
1808, and was consequently 83 years, 6 months and 19 days of age at the
time of his death. Mr. Hawksworth was united in marriage in 1840 to
Miss Susan Groff, of Lebanon, and to this union nine children were
born--four sons and five daughters-and of these eight survive him,
together with the aged wife and mother. The daughters are: Emma, wife
of the late G.W. Patton, of Philadelphia; Elizabeth, wife of  John
McCormick, of Altoona; Ella, wife of  Major John C. Paul, of
Plainfield, N.J.; Annie, wife of F.B. Stuart, of Washington, D.C.; and
Julia, wife of John Hurd of Altoona. The sons are Thomas A., George W.
Jr., and William C., all of this city. One son, Herman L., died in
infancy. There are also twenty-two grandchildren.
   The funeral will take place at his late residence, 1123 Eighth 
avenue, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Services at the home will be
conducted by  H.R. Bender, D.D. The interment will be in Fairview
cemetery.
