    _____________________________

    BENJAMIN ELMORE HAWKE, M.D., of No. 21 Wellesley street, Toronto, is one of the well-established physicians of that city, and one whose professional preparation has been unusually complete, a fact which, in connection with his agreeable personality and close attention to his work, accounts fully for the success which he has attained. The Hawke family was originally of English extraction, but migrated to the New World before the American Revolution and settled in Pennsylvania. In 1811 Benjamin Hawke, grandfather of the Doctor, left the United States, and coming to Canada located in County York, on Yonge street, about twenty miles from Toronto, then called York. lie had charge of building the Yonge street road, through what is now known as Hogg's Hollow. About 1855 he moved with his family to County Waterloo, Wellesley township, where he settled on a farm and remained until his death, in 1866, at the age of eighty-four years. Hawkesville, in the County of Waterloo, was named for the family, some of whom were its first settlers. They were prominent men in their localities, and in the first council for the township of Wellesley there were four members of the name of Hawke. Benjamin Hawke married Miss Mary Lount, an aunt of the late Judge William Lount. so well known in Ontario. Mrs. Hawke was born in Pennsylvania and died in Welllesley.

    William Hawke, son of Benjamin, was born in County York, in the Yonge street home, in 1828. He was a farmer and stock raiser by occupation and became one of the prominent men of his locality. His death occurred in 1889, in the Toronto General Hospital, as the result of an operation, an event the more to be deplored as he was but just past the very prime of life. Mr. Hawke was twice married. His first wife was Miss Jane Monkman, who belonged to one of the old families of County York, and by this union there were four children, namely: Erastus, an implement dealer; Lavinia, wife of Pierce Petch: Rachel, wife of David Harrow; and Edgar, Melfort, Sask. By his second marriage Mr. Hawke was united to Miss Isabella Harrow, who was bom in Scotland in 1841, daughter of William and Jane Harrow. The Harrow family came to Canada when Mrs. Hawke was nine years old, and settled in County Waterloo on a farm, where her father died later. To Benjamin and Isabella Hawke ten children were bom, as follows: George, of Aurora; Albert, a physician in Galt; Henry; Benjamin E.; Calvin; Janet, wife of Rev. A. J. Johnston; Frank; Agnes, residing in Galt; Harvey and Walter, also off Galt.

    Dr. Benjamin E. Hawke was born in Wellesley in 1866. His general education was received in the Berlin schools, after which he entered upon the study of medicine in Trinity Medical College, of Toronto, from which he graduated in 1887. As he was desirous of still further study along his chosen lines Dr. Hawke then proceeded to New York City, where he entered the New York Polyclinic and Post-Graduate School, from which institution, a year later, he received a degree also. Thus equipped for his profession, he returned to his native township and began practising in the village of Wellesley. After two years he removed to Stratford, where he was located for ten years, and then in 1901 settled in Toronto, where he quickly built up a good practice. Dr. Hawke was married in 1893, to Miss Mayme Trow, daughter of the late Hon. James Trow, of Stratford, who was for twenty-five years a member of the Dominion Parliament. In political faith Dr. Hawke is a Reformer, while fraternally he belongs to the MMasons.

    The Hawke family are very proud of their descent and carefully cherish certain heirlooms in their possession. Dr. Hawke's mother, who now resides in Galt, is very proud of a chair which Benjamin Hawke brought with him to Canada in 1811, while another valued article is the seat from the first carriage in Toronto; this seat Mrs. Hawke has had upholstered and placed in a corner of her sitting-room in Galt. The Doctor esteems very highly a pair of old- fashioned tongs made by Samuel Lount, a blacksmith at Holland's Landing, and who was hanged in Toronto in the year 1838 for participating in the rebellion of 1837-38. Samuel Lount was a brother of the Doctor's grandmother.

    HAWKE, BENJAMIN E.
    a brother of Albert Hawke was born at Hawkesville on April 3, 1866. He was educated there and at Berlin High School, obtaining a second class teacher's certificate. He then entered Trinity Medical College, Toronto, graduating in 1887.

    After taking some postgraduate work in New York, he bought the practice of Dr. L. B. Clemens of Wellesley. The Dumfries Reformer approved of him, saying "our young friend passed a very successful course, and being possessed of a pleasing address and genial manners, will, we have little doubt, become a successful and popular practitioner."

    The same paper on April 25, 1889 said that he had sold his practice to Dr. J. McGillawee for $1000.00 and was moving to Spokane Falls W. T. his American stay lasted only a short time the September 5th. issue referring to him as "one of the victims of the great fire at Spokane Falls." On October 17th. he opened an office in Stratford.

    After about eight years, in April, 1897, it was reported that he had just returned from Rat Portage where he had spent

    the winter in practice. His next move was to Toronto. The Weekly Reformer of June 11, 1908 had the following item:

    New Magazine.

    We are in receipt of the initial number of a new magazine, "The Curler and Bowler" published in Toronto by Dr. B. E. Hawke and Mr. J. M. McDonald, two of the best known and most popular bowlers and curlers in the province.

    In 1909 his card appeared in the Berlin Telegraph as an itenerant surgeon.

    In 1910 he was acquitted of the charge of attempting to perform a criminal operation. In 1912 however the Telegraph of March 4th. reported that "Dr. B. E. Hawke Disappears". He was named in the verdict of a coroner's jury for a similar charge. There was no further mention of this matter, and indeed his name did not appear again until the Weekly Reporter of June 27, 1918 reported that he had received a promotion in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Britain.

    His obituary appeared in the Toronto Telegram on August 9, 1924. He had served in the army and was aboard the liner Laconia when it was torpedoed. He had been in the water a long time and had been in poor health thereafter, dying of a stroke in Liverpool on July 27, 1924.
