A week ago we mentioned the ILL
ness of Mrs. Ethel Hawkins and
thought it only cold, but it grew
worse and last Saturday morning the
doctor pronounced it pleuro- -pneumon-
| ia. H. A. Waite took her to Fairview
| hospital, where everything was done
for her, but she died shortly after
midnight Sunday night. 1t was a
shock to the community, as very few
knew she was very sick. Ethel, only
daughter of George and Eta Thomp-
kins Clark, was born here in Bruns-
wick, July %, 1885, and always lived
here. She graduated in 1908 in Sec
ond graduating class from this high
school. She was married in Decem-
Der, 1906 to Cuba Hawkins. Ethel
was our exchange girl from April 4,
1910 to November 1, 1911, and from
June /, 1914, until her final illness,
/ making six years and two months.
Patrons on all our telephone lines
contributed towards, flowers and the
telephone company gave pillow with
the word Number" on it, as this was
always the first word she said when
she answered your call. Ethel was
a jolly, good-hearted girl, liked by
everybody and was an exceptionally
fine operator in the exchange. She
was very fond of music and used to
play the piano for her brother, Glenn
Clark, with his violin. Words can not
| express how we will miss Ethel every
day. She leaves husband, father
and mother, two brothers, Glenn and
Grove, and many relatives and friends.
