Read More	Born December 24, 1844, in Logan county Ohio, died June 10, 1927 at his home in Grenola, Kansas. Age eighty two years, five months and sixteen days. By birth, a son of that great state that furnished one-fourth of the Federal troops; by adoption, a son of the Sunflower state, which he served in the state legislature. He being a true type of these two great States that have moulded public opinion and furnished many noble statesmen. What can I say of him whose presence was so familiar to the people of Elk county and especially Grenola? He served Elk county in more than one official capacity. All of the deeds of the Grenola townsite have the name of Thomas P. Hawkins upon them as president. He has been the continuous Commander of Appomatox G. A. R. Post. He with his young wife settled on their farm south of Grenola in 1870. That he was a man of industry and strong will is manifest by the manner in which he and Belle, his wife, began the great battle of life on the frontier, and became the wealthiest farmers in that section. Here ten children were born into their home; the twins dying in 1892; Tommy passing away in early manhood, and Clay giving his life for his Country in Overseas service, in the World War. The following are left with the frail wife and mother to mourn their loss: Everett and William Hawkins, of Filer, Idaho; Mrs. Alice Roper, of Mulberry, Kansas; and Mrs. Birdie Wilber, Mrs. Dora Brown and Edward Hawkins, of Grenola. There are also a number of grandchildren and great grandchhildren. Thus, having served in private and public service among us for fifty-seven years, and lived the allotted period of human life, he passes, a true type of the American citizen, ripe in deeds of public interest and full of honor. The funeral services were conducted according to his wishes by Mrs. Belle Reid Yates, at the Methodist church at Grenola, at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The body was then conducted to Greenlawn cemetery by the Grenola Legion who performed the last military rites.--Belle Reid Yates. (Contributed by Rebecca Osmond Hold, great great grandaughter of Thomas P. Hawken) T. P. Hawkins real last name was Hawken. He was descended from the famous Hawken family who came from Switzerland in the 1700's and made the famous Hawken gun. When T. P. was a Union soldier during the Civil War, his name was misspelled as Hawkins, and he just went by that name thereafter. He himself purchased the large tombstone that sits on his grave, and when he and his family were admiring it, a grandchild said, "Look, Grandpa, they spelled your name wrong!" T. P. replied, "No, that is my real name." This story was related to me, Rebecca Ann Osmond Hold, in 1984 by T. P.'s granddaughter, Ruby Wartick, who was the daughter of Dora Hawken (Hawkins) Brown, who was T. P.'s daughter.
