The father died Jan. 28,1880.Mr. Hawley was the third of 1 1 children born to his parents ; and, at the age of 1 1 years, he began to maintain himself, which he did by working among the farmers until he was of age. In July, 1860, he came to Midland County, where he has since been resident. He operated some time as a lumberman,and bought 21 acres of land in Jerome Township,which he sold 18 months later, and bought 40 acres adjoining. He retained possession of this about one year, sold out, and bought 50 acres in Kalamazoo County. A year later he again sold out, and then he bought 40 acres of unimproved land not far from Edenville. On this land he erected a house and barn, which he sold a few months later. In the fall of the same year he bought 40 acres in Jerome Township, on which he built a house. He kept the place one year, sold out and purchased the farm he now owns and occupies, which includes 167 acres,with a small tract under improvements, and cultivation. Of this he has now 65 acres improved and tilled.
