Her husband, the Right Reverend Cicero Stephens Hawks, was elected the first bishop of the new Diocese of Missouri in 1844. For 10 years he was also rector of Christ Church until the Diocese could afford to provide a separate salary for its Bishop. During his episcopate he oversaw the founding of more than 28 congregations across the State of Missouri and led them through a devastating period of cholera epidemics as well as the turbulent years of the Civil War.
Buried with him in this lot is his first wife Ann Jones Hawks whom he had known since childhood. Ann Jones Hawks was a daughter of Dr. Hugh and Ann Maria Guion Jones, of Huguenot descent, both natives of North Carolina.
Ann Jones Hawks died on July 1, 1855, and had apparently been first buried elsewhere before being moved to Bellefontaine in 1864. Their daughter Isabella, who died at age 13, is also buried here. (1851-1864)
