Joshua Timothy "Tim" Hawthorne, Jr.

Notes:

"J.T. Hawthorne Taken by Death, Prominent Roganville Pioneer Survived by 350 Descendants"

Jasper, Texas (November 3, 1934) Joshua Timothy Hawthorne, 85, one of east Texas' most prominent pioneers, died at his home at Roganville, following a month's illness.

"Uncle Tim" as he was known to his friends, was born in Decatur, Georgia, February 2, 1849, but moved to Texas at the age of 8 years and has been a Jasper county resident ever since. This is the first death to occur in his immediate family despite the fact that he was the father of 14 children and now has approximately 350 descendants. (NOTE: this seems high, compared to the count of 96 grandchildren and 35 great-granchildren mentioned in his wife's obituary two years later. Perhaps they are including nieces in nephews in the count of 350?) He has been a member of the Primitive Baptist Church for the last 45 years.

Funeral services will be held at 3 pm Sunday at Friendship near Roganville. Elder S.D. Newton of the Primitive Baptist Church at Orange will officiate. Burial will follow there under the direction of the Stringer Undertaking company of Jasper. He is survived by his wife, Mary, eight sons, F.P, J.C., J.T., Sion and Walter of Kirbyville, Polk, Tommie, and Zora of Roganville, six daughters Mrs. H.C. West of Kirbyville, Mrs. D.A. Jones and Mrs. J.N. Martin of Roganville, Mrs. U.M. Hooks of Bleakwood, Mrs. C.S.Day of Newton and Mrs. Earl Norberg of Ashland, Oregon; 184 grandchildren, and a number of great grandchildren.

"Hawthorne Will Celebrate a Century" San Augustine Tribune, July 29, 1999 p 13

Zora Hawthorne will be honored for his 100th birthday at a reunion Saturday, July 31, at the Hen House Ridge Pavillion at Martin Dies Jr State Park near Dam B.

Hawthorne was born July 30, 1899, to Tim and Mary Hawthorne of Roganville, a small sawmill town 11 miles south of Jasper. Hawthorne was the youngest of 14 children.

Until grown, Hawthorne worked on the family farm which was by the Santa Fe railroad tracks and could tell which train was coming through just by the whistle.

Growing up listening to those whistles gave him the desire to work on the railroad. At age 21, he went to work on a switch engine in Roganville during the winter and continued to work on the farm during the summer months.

In 1928, Hawthrone went to work for Kirby Lumber Company at Camp 11 near Silsbee.

During the Depression, he farmed until 1937 when he went back to work for Kirby until 1941.

World War II began while he worked for Livingston shipyard in Orange where he was employed until 1942 when his dream of riding the rails was realized as he went to work for Kansas City Southern (K.C.S.) where he remained employed for 30 years until retirement at age 70.

In 1996, Hawthorne lost his wife of 73 years, Mae Fairchild Hawthorne.

He now shares his life with the remainder of his family which includes daughter Mary Lou King and husband Larry of Broaddus and daughter Doris Jean Ostraner of The Woodlands.

Hawthorne is grandfather to six, great grandfather to 17 and great-great grandfather to three.
