HAWKINS-ROGERS

Quietly Married At Home of the Bride—Gone For An Eastern Wedding Trip.

E. W. Hawkins, a prominent and highly esteemed farmer of the Fairville neighborhood and Mrs. Maud Rogers, daughter of Robert B. Irvine, also of the county near Fairville, were quietly married Wednesday, March 15, at 10 a. m. at the Irvine country home. There was no one present except the immediate family to witness the ceremony, which was said by Rev. W. W. Robertson, pastor of the Fairville Baptist church.

Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins left immediately after the ceremony, drove to Marshall in time for the 10:30 C. & A. train, upon which they left for an extended eastern trip.

We learn from Mrs. Irvine, mother of the bride, that they would probably be gone a month. They will then return to Saline and be at home to their friends at the elegant country home of the groom, north of the city.

The bride is one of Saline's most charming ladies and she and the groom are from two of the counties representative families and have a large circle of friends who will join the Democrat-News in congratulations and best wishes.

The bride's going away gown was a grey cloth with hat and gloves to match and she carried lillies of the valley.

Hawkins Rites To Be Held Friday

Services Were At 3 o'Clock Friday at Marshall Baptist Church

Funeral services for Edward Withers Hawkins, 87, who passed away Wednesday morning, December 29, were held at [3] o'clock Friday at the First Baptist church in Marshall. Dr. Harvey Baker Smith, pastor of the Christian church, assisted by Rev. J. Herbert Gilmore, church pastor officiated. Burial was on the family lot in Ridge Park cemetery.

Mrs. W. M. Westbrook and G. W. Reid sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Beyond the Sunset" with organ accompaniment by Mrs. Charles Buckner.

Those in charge of the flowers were Mrs. Ethel Miller, Mrs. John D. Ruffin, Mrs. Mariah Winslow, Mrs. Ed Tanner and Mrs. George Lorimer.

Pallbearers were Sam Leimkuehler, Judge Perry G. Storts, Clarence Blackburn, C. E. Whitehead, Jack Long and Leverette Ransberger.

In his comforting message Dr. Smith said in part:

"Saline county is rich in the generations of men and women whose lives have been a continuing witness of worthy citizenship. We honor today such a family and person. Ed Hawkins has come to the end of his career among us and laid down his work. The job of his living has been recorded in devotion to aims which were of first worth to him.

"A farmer whose love of Saline county soil never wavered. Always farm successes belonged to his heart's delight. What more gracious calling than to be devoted to the soil and those products which give us food, shelter clothing and comforts.

"His genius for friends never wavered. few men had a wider acquaintance and his desire to fulfill the obligations of public office held him firmly. His conception of citizenship was not cheaply had. His inheritance, in political allegiances were firmly set. Beyond party he saw the need for principles around which parties formed and gave allegiance to the Jeffersonian theory of government, inherent in the people's rule.

"'He was one of the best sheriffs this county has ever had' was the statement of one who knows with thoroughness the county's past official records. Honesty and integrity in office must never by news but should always be honored.

"His community of Fairville was much in his affections. Here he planted his life, here he tilled the soil, reared his family to honorable maturity and worshipped in the Baptist church with neighbors and friends. Here he became a stockman of notable achievement, often having stock of superior worth in exhibitions at fairs. Here he planted his life with assurances of finding that which satisfied.

"As the maturing years lessened his activities he met the issues with courage and kindly acceptance. Always his smile had in it the grace of kindliness. He never forgot that he was a gentleman and never ceased to be a friend to those who welcomed that friendship. The years bring ripeness of experience to which all bow in humble acceptance of restricted living or bitterly rebel against slackening circle of living into ripe maturity. Somehow he had captured kindliness of the sunset and fell asleep full of years. May each of us wait, with those we love, for the morning light of God's day. A day without shadows, fears or sin and receive the mercy of Him Who said 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
