Bio

Son of: William Alexander and Susan E. Wood Hawthorne Husband of: Bertha Brazelton Hall Hawthorne Father of: Vera Wave, Nola Mae, Dorris Dianna, Marjorie Wayne, Bertha Marowyn Dr. Edward Wayne Hawthorne (September 13, 1854 - November 17, 1931) PAYS LAST TRIBUTE Beloved Physician Laid to Rest - Revered by All Who Knew Him Last Friday afternoon a community gathered at the Gypsum Methodist church to pay its tribute of respect and reverence to a man who had taken a prominent part in all of its affairs for more than thirty years. That Dr. Hawthorne had a multitude of friends was amply evidenced by the overflowing church and the many beautiful floral offerings at the funeral services. All of the immediate members of the family were able to be present. Two daughters, Mrs. Nola Williamson and Miss Marjorie Hawthorne of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, drove from that place with Mr. Williamson making the trip of approximately 800 miles in 22 hours.  The two brothers of Dr. Hawthorne, William Hawthorne of McPherson and Charles Hawthorne of San Francisco, California also returned. Three of his daughters, Mrs. Vera Jones, wife of Dr. W. R. Jones of Canton, Mrs. Bert Hesher and Miss Marowyn and Mrs. Hawthorne were at the bedside of the beloved physician when death came. A male quartet composed of George Stein, T. R. Tinkler, J. S. Harris and L. H. Banks accompanied by Mrs. T. R. Tinkler, furnished the music for the services. Rev. B. C. Wolf of the Gypsum Methodist Church, was in charge. The pallbearers, professional comrades of Dr. Hawthorne were Dr. O. R. Brittain, Dr. W. R. Dillingham, Mr. W. E. Mowery, and Dr. P. A. Loyd, all of Salina; Dr. R. H. Cheney and Dr. E. E. Wheatley of Gypsum. A large number of the Doctor's old friends served as honorary pall bearers. They were: James Mortimer, Sr., August Schwarz, John Schmitter, E. E. Schmitter, Dr. H. W. Graves, A. Tilgner, C. H. Gaumer, M. J. Hesher, S.G. King, A. B. Gillum. H. E. Reese, J. E. Dickerson, D. W. Bishop, F. E. Seaman. O. O. Teichgraeber, C. Spellman, L. H. Gregg, Sr. all of Gypsum and Charles Lindgren of Canton. Among the many beautiful floral pieces was one presented by the business men of Gypsum that was deeply significant. It was a representation of a wheel from which one spoke and felloe was broken. All of Gypsum business houses closed during the hour of the services. The schools also dismissed in order that the faculty and school children attend and pay their respects to the man who had been a member of the school board for some 12 years. Besides practically everyone from the whole town and surrounding community, many people came from other places regardless of the condition of the roads, just as he had answered their sick in any and all kinds of weather. Among the out-of-town attendants were Mrs. and Mrs. P. C. Pfalzgraf, Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Cheney, Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, Dr. and Mrs. Needles and Mrs. and Mrs. Richard Pettle all of Salina; J. P. Atkinson and son of Brookville,; Mr. and Mrs. Martin Donmeyer of Solomon, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindgren of Canton. The loss of Dr. Hawthorne is a blow to this community from which it will not soon recover. His keen interest and participation in all worthy activities; his courageous optimistic attitude toward life, his lovable personality; and his unselfish, self-sacrificing professional spirit all united to place Dr. Hawthorne in unique relation that few men ever come to occupy in their community. That we shall miss him does not begin to express the sorrow and loss that the whole town and community shares.
