  Notes	"J.T. Hawthorne Taken by Death, Prominent Roganville Pioneer Survived by 350 Descendants" Jasper, Texas (November 3, 1934) Joshua Timothy Hawthorne, 85, one of east Texas' most prominent pioneers, died at his home at Roganville, following a month's illness. "Uncle Tim" as he was known to his friends, was born in Decatur, Georgia, February 2, 1849, but moved to Texas at the age of 8 years and has been a Jasper county resident ever since. This is the first death to occur in his immediate family despite the fact that he was the father of 14 children and now has approximately 350 descendants. (NOTE: this seems high, compared to the count of 96 grandchildren and 35 great-granchildren mentioned in his wife's obituary two years later. Perhaps they are including nieces in nephews in the count of 350?) He has been a member of the Primitive Baptist Church for the last 45 years. Funeral services will be held at 3 pm Sunday at Friendship near Roganville. Elder S.D. Newton of the Primitive Baptist Church at Orange will officiate. Burial will follow there under the direction of the Stringer Undertaking company of Jasper. He is survived by his wife, Mary, eight sons, F.P, J.C., J.T., Sion and Walter of Kirbyville, Polk, Tommie, and Zora of Roganville, six daughters Mrs. H.C. West of Kirbyville, Mrs. D.A. Jones and Mrs. J.N. Martin of Roganville, Mrs. U.M. Hooks of Bleakwood, Mrs. C.S.Day of Newton and Mrs. Earl Norberg of Ashland, Oregon; 184 grandchildren, and a number of great grandchildren.
