Francis
US Marshal
March 1840 - April 23, 1914
Francis and his wife Elizabeth came from Pawnee County, Kansas in 1888, where he was the first Sheriff and a US Marshal. He was known as a fearless officer. The first criminal case in the county never came to trial on the presumption a man who shot at Sheriff Hawkins and couldn't hit a man the size of Hawkins was perfectly safe to run at large.

HAWKINS, F.C. - We stop the press to announce the death of F.C. Hawkins, who fell dead in his yard, corner 2nd and Cherry, at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, April 30, 1914
Rogers lost one of its best known citizens when F.C. Hawkins dropped dead in the yard of his home, corner Poplar and 2nd street, last Thursday morning, April 23d. He had just returned from town and had said nothing of feeling worse than usual. He had suffered with heart trouble for some time and an attack last fall had made his friends apprehensive that he might have another and a more serious stroke. Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon at two o'clock and were conducted by Rev. J.F. Little. At the cemetery the services were taken in charge by the local order of Masons and the Knight Templars, a number of the latter order being present from Bentonville as well as other friends. Mr. Hawkins was 74 years old, having been born in Tribble county, Ohio in March 1840. He was married in 1884 at Lamed, Kan. to Miss Lizzie Miller and to them were born two children, Prof. Frank Hawkins of the U. of A. faculty at Fayetteville, and Mrs. Finis Miller of Rogers. Mr. Hawkins and family went to Bentonville in 1888 where he engaged in the implement and stock business. They came to Rogers in 1900 and Mr. Hawkins was in the livery business here on South First street for several years. He was also an auctioneer. Failing health caused him to retire from active business and he invested his money in local property and had given his attention to that and to his home place. Mr. Hawkins was a large man in physique; a big, good natured man who made friends easily and was known to everybody in this end of the county. He was slow in making promises and taking up new projects but his word was as good as a bond and whenever he was for you, he was for you good and strong. By his death Rogers has lost a good citizen and his associates a staunch friend.

HAWKINS, Frank C. - Frank C. Hawkins, a former resident of Bentonville, died suddenly at his home in Rogers today. He was mowing his yard about 9 o'clock when he was overcome with a rush of blood to the head and died almost at once. His many friends will regret to hear of his sudden demise for he was a good friend and a respected citizen.
