HAWKINS CEMETERY (SAYRE)

This cemetery contains two marked graves, those of Dr. Isaac 
Hawkins and his wife Martha.  The cemetery is located at the 
old town of Sayre.  From Reader, go east on Sayre Drive off Hwy. 
368 for almost one mile.  Cross the old railroad bed (the 
railroad was dismantled in 2000), and take the second gravel 
road to the left (called Locklar St.).  Go about 100 yards.  A 
small cemetery containing two graves will be on your left.  On 
the opposite side of the gravel road is a dim trail.  Follow this 
trail for about 100 feet. The Hawkins’ graves will be on your 
right about 50 feet off the trail.  One stone is standing and the 
other is broken and lying on the ground. 

Fred Hawkins, a descendant of these folks, tells me that Dr. 
Hawkins owned the stagecoach stop/hotel that was located here 
and was a popular rest stop. 

This record was made September 12, 2000 by Jerry McKelvy.

Hawkins, Martha A. – born 7-2-18??---died 11-10-1859 (?); stone 
is broken and lying on the ground.  The years are hard to read 
due to the broken stone.
