Am searching for his burial site. A proprietor of an antique store which I shopped has
Hawkins headstone and only wants it placed at Hawkin’s grave. Hours have been spent on
line just to get the above info but, still no cemetery can I find to contact. Hopes are
the cemetery will have it sent back. Proprietor does not wish any monies for the
headstone,
Please help me and Hawkins, if you can.
