Biography

This profile is part of the Hawke Name Study.

Ernest, born 31 March 1888 in Suffield Township, Ohio,[1][2][3] is the son of Albert Hawk and Addie M. Robenstine.[1][2] He grew up in a broken home in Suffield—by 1900 he (age 12) was living with his mother (38) after his parents divorced.[4] The 1900 census shows that his mother was "widowed" but Albert was still alive in Columbus, Ohio.[5] His mother Addie worked in a factory.[4] In 1910, Ernest (age 23) was a lodged with the Franzen family in Akron, Ohio, as he labored as a house carpenter.[6]

On 14 July 1912 in Windsor, Canada, he married Minnie L Siegfreid (29 September 1895-2 May 1977), daughter of Lewis Siegfried and Cozella Myers.[7] They had a son, Howard, but later divorced.[8]

In 1917, he was described as tall and slender with blue eyes and black hair.[3] At that time he said he was supporting his grandmother, wife and child as a farmer in Mogadore, Ohio.[3] In 1920, Ernest (age 31) cultivated his own land in Suffield Township to support his wife Minnie L. (23), son Howard L. (5) and his wife's grandmother Lovina M. Myers (69).[9]

No census records have been located for 1930 and 1940; however, Minnie (age 35) has remarried to Lloyd T. Achey, who lists Howard L. Hawk (15) as his stepson in 1930.[10] Ernest did register for the draft in 1942.[11] At that time he was living in Akron and working for the Works Progress Administration (WPA).[11] He listed a friend, rather than a wife, as his nearest contact.[11] His death record provides evidence of his divorce.[8]

Ernest probably died 6 March 1966 in Akron, Ohio.[8]

Research Notes

  • Various records show his birth 30 or 31 March 1888.
  • I have some doubts that the attached death record is for the same person. He is a merchant as was his father, but the birth year was given as 1890 rather than 1888.
