Death of a Venerable Citizen.

Richard Hawkins who, for thirty five
years was stage agent and then Agent of
Adams Express Co. IN this city, died on
Friday morning last. aged seventy-four
years. His gigantic figure, always clad
in gray. and his kindly, handsome face had
been familiar to this community for a
generation. He commenced life as q
young man on the stage line between
Richmond and Petersburg and came to
Staunton in the service of what was in
those days the old Parish stage line. In
the average life time during which he had
held his position in Stanton. millions OF
dollars passed through his hands with
never copper wrong in his accounts. So
highly was he esteemed by the Express
company that when he retired they settled
a pension on him for faithful services. A
more kindly heart, or higher sense of
integrity never found place in the breast
of any man. In telegraphing the regrets
of the Express Company to his widow,
President Herring said, HE was one OF
the faithful ones we shall always remem-
her," He was buried. at his request,
without other ceremony than the reading
Of scriptures and prayer. He leaves a
widow, son, Mr.. Jas. P. Hawkins, and a
widowed daughter, Mrs. Harman.
