Son of Bartlett Tuthill Hawkins and Clarrisa Barteau Haff, husband of Martha French Whitson.
Emmett Hawkins, a farmer-carpenter, aged 55, was killed accidentally by the discharge of a shotgun, while fox hunting in Brookhaven, NY. He was found in the woods a half-mile north of his home.
Obituary - Emmett S. Hawkins, a native a prominent resident of South Haven, was killed by a load of shot from his own gun in the woods near his home Thursday morning of last week, the tragedy being discovered by neighbors when his continued absence from the house was noticed. The body was not found until after dark that night, when H.B. Walton, one of the members of the search party, found (him) lying in the edge of a swamp with a terrible wound through the stomach and the gun lying nearby containing one exploded shell and one full.
It is believed that Mr. Hawkins went out on a trail of foxes which had been ranging uncomfortably close to his house, and somehow fell on his gun, causing it to explode. Mrs. Hawkins was visiting at Greenlawn. Fred Raynor, a neighbor, who customarily got milk from Mr. Hawkins, sent his daughter there Thursday morning and she found nobody there.
When later visits disclosed the facts that the cows had gone unmilked and the poultry unfed something amiss was feared, and the matter was reported at the residence of Rev. F.E. Allen, pastor of the Presbyterian church, in which Mr. Hawkins was active. George Miller broke into the Hawkins residence and when nobody was found there a search of the country was instituted.
Mr. Hawkins was 56 years old, a carpenter by trade. He spent practically all his life in South Haven, coming of an old family there. He leaves only his wife, who was formerly a teacher, her maiden name being Smith.
