HAWKS, William E., Obituary
WM. HAWKS, PIONEER DIED AT CHLORIDE
The death of William Eugene Hawks at his home in Chloride, Arizona, at 6:30 A. M., Oct. 21st, 1920, will create a void in our community which will be hard to replace. His end came after a good night's rest, and at the finish of a modest breakfast he passed along without a struggle. He was born Jan. 10th, 1846, in Welling, Allegany County, New York. He was married to Carrie Ross Conger Jan. 16th, 1872, who was with him to the end ministering to his wants as the spark of life went out. There are three children, Harold C. Hawks of Chloride, Mrs. Blanche A. Pirie of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Edith Mildred Strassel of Louisville, KY. Mr. Hawks had been an early pioneer of the great west, having come into the rocky mountains in 1864, while a mere youth, and assisting in doing a man's part toward taming the wilderness by scouting for the government, carrying dispatches and doing the various other tasks that came into the lives of those around the outposts of civilization in those strenuous days. He had lived in Chloride twenty years, engaged in mining and merchandising; he was a member of the Masonic Order, also of the Forresters. He was a kind and loving father, a loyal husband, and a good and respected citizen. There is not a man or woman in all our region who will not ever have a kindly regard for William Eugene Hawks, and extend the hand of friendship and words of sympathy to all the members of the sorrowing family.

RULEN, Arthur LeRoy, Obituary
Last Tuesday morning the body of Arthur LeRoy Rulen was taken from beneath a freight train near Louise, two miles east of Kingman. The wheels of the train had passed over the body above the hips, cutting it in two, Rulon had stepped onto the pilot of the locomotive as it was leaving a siding at Louise for the purpose of opening a switch as the train reached the east end of the Kingman yards. Apparently the jolting over the switch threw him off, as he was missed as the train got out on the main line and his terribly mangled remains were found seven cars back from the engine. Coroner Smith was called and the remains brought to Kingman, where an inquisition was held, the facts being give as above stated by the train men. Rulon was aged about 30 years and was a resident of Needles, where he leaves a widow and two children to mourn his untimely death. [Mohave County Miner and Our Mineral Wealth.
