  • Notes 
    • The late Erastus N. Hawke, whose death took place on Thursday

      The late Erastus N. Hawke, whose death took place on Thursday last, was born in Hawkesville and, resided on a farm at that place until twelve years ago, when the family removed to Waterloo, where he was engaged as an agent of the Massey-Harris Co. He was well known and highly respected throughout this vicinity and had attained the age of 56 years 5 months and 3 days.

      A wife and a family of eight children, five daughters and three sons, survive. The funeral was held on Monday at 12 o'clock from the residence where service was held, thence to Hawkesville cemetery for burial.

      The late Mr. Hawke was a highly respected citizen, and by his genial disposition and honest and fair treatment he had built up a very lucrative business in this district for the Massey-Harris Co. It was no unusual thing to see from 75 to 100 farmers' teams each bearing a load of Massey Harris implements, when spring supply of machinery was delivered at Waterloo. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the family of the deceased in this, their hour of sore bereavement. - Citizen
