Hawley, Lena (1874 - 1958)


GREENWOOD--The Rev. Ethel Nulton will officiate at services Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Grace Methodist Church here for Mrs. John Hawley, 84, who died of Pneumonia Saturday afternoon, Feb. 22, 1958, at the Havenet Nursing Home in Owen, Clark County, where she had been a patient since Jan. 2, 1956.


The body will be taken to the church at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday from the Hill Funeral Home, where it now lies in state. Burial will take place in the Greenwood Cemetery.


Until moving to Owen, Mrs. Hawley led an active life and did her housework while confined to a wheel chair for more than 25 years. She and her husband, who died in 1934, came to Greenwood in 1930, after retiring from farming.


The former Lena Rivers Dutcher was born Sept. 30, 1874, in Stockbridge, Wis., and was the first graduate of Stockbridge High School. She and Mrs. Hawley were married there an. 1, 1894, and then farmed in Calumet County until 1899. That year they came to Clark County, farming in the Town of Weston until 1918, and then in the Town of Loyal.


Mrs. Hawley was a member of Forest Queen Camp of the Royal Neighbors.


She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Cyril (Marjorie) Neverman of Joliet, Ill., and Mrs. Ernest (Irene) Hannah of Mineral Point, 20 grandchildren and 43 great-grandchildren. A son, Dale, died in 1951 and another son, Milton, died 11 years ago. Three brothers and five sisters also are deceased.
