            My father belongs to the Catholic Church. He was born in Cahercevine, Kerry County, Ireland on the 15^th of March 1842. He was married to Emma Quinney in Utah. My mother was born on the 15^th of November 1853 in Foleshill, Warwickshire, England. She used to be the Latter-Day Saints. They have six sons and three daughters. Two of their sons were killed. Five of them are married. My father has been a foreman of Section for many years, but he quited it as he was too old. He and his wife are living in Los Angeles, California at present. He works easily as watchman for the railroad there. He is getting old.

            I was born in Latham, Lane Co., Oregon on the 28^th of March 1877. I lived there for a few years, but my folks moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho when I was a small girl, and moved to Morgan City, Utah from Idaho and lived there for 17 years. When I was married to Leo Hawkins, we lived in Rigby, Fremont Co., Idaho for 8 months. We moved to Bountiful from Rigby and have been living here since 12 years. I traveled to Evanston, Wyoming, Pueblo, Denver and Marshall, Colorado twice times. I was sent to the school for the deaf in Salt Lake City when I was eleven years old. I attended there and Ogden for ten years. I studied Language, Arithmetic, Geography and History, and took Sewing and Fancy Work. I graduated from the tenth grade in Ogden, on the 6^th of June 1899.

Barrell and Laron Pratt were my former teachers. I was baptized by E. A. Stratford of Ogden on the 8^th of July 1900 and then I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I held the [position of] Secretary for the Sunday School for the Deaf at the Ogden Fourth Ward for one year. I taught some deaf kindergarten boys and girls. I was married to Leo Hawkins on the 17^th of June 1903 in the Salt Lake Temple. We have three fine daughters and one son. Our oldest girl is eleven years old and our youngest son is 6 months old. I stay at our own home and am taking care of our children and housekeeper since I was married.
