JOSEPH LYONS HAWKINS, was born in Flamboro, Ontario, September 21, 1840. He was for three years engaged in stove and tinware business at Burford, Ontario, and in January, 1866, emigrated to Kansas, locating in Ottawa; was employed in the stove and tinware business for some months. The fall of 1867 embarked in the same on his own account, and carried on an extensive business at this place until September 1881, when he sold out. He also for six years of that period connected with the stove and tinware firm of Maberry & Shimmons , at Lawrence, Kansas. Mr. Hawkins is at present engaged in building enterprises, and is largely interested in the Ottawa Opera House and block, just finished, in company with Messrs. Ring & Smith and A. W. Baker. This block is the finest in the city. The subject of this sketch is one of the enterprising men of Ottawa; he has for the past eight years represented the Second ward in the City Council.

During the summer and fall of 1856, immigration continued, though not in very large numbers. Prominent among the settlers of that year were Nimrod Hankins, William M. Brown, Carlyle Faulkner, Carroll Prewett, Henry Doren, G. A. Gideon, William Mayberry, Thomas Bashaw, M. W. Post and Joseph Ludley. The two last named came in February, 1856, being engaged in the survey of the standard parallels. They finished this survey with the fifth parallel through Allen County, and concluded to locate at or near Cofachique. Some time during the following summer, Ludley brought a small saw mill from Westport, Mo., and set it up in the timber near Cofachique and began operations at once. The mill was run by horse power, and was the first mill or other machinery to be put in operation in Allen County. After running it for some time Ludley sold the mill to Drury S. Tye. (Source: William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas was first published in 1883 by A. T. Andreas, Chicago, IL.)
