Wilbur was born Feb 10, 1881, in Bakersfield, Ohio, coming to Kansas, at the age of one year, with his parents, who settled on the farm owned by Pete Cawley, but now owned by Richard Yazel. Later, his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Hawk, purchased the farm occupied by the Herbert Happel family.
Mr. Hawk received his education at Sunny Hill school and attended A.C.H.S., graduating with the class of 1898. He later served on the board of trustees of his Alma Mater. He also attended the University of Kansas two years, taking a law course, following which he taught two successful years at the Clingan school.
The next nine years of his life he spent in Atchison where he was an accommodating clerk in the Leichenstein Clothing Store.
In 1911 he was appointed by President Taft as deputy warden of the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. A Republican in politics from the word go, he also served as Republican state chairman of Kansas.
After his term of deputy warden expired, he returned to Atchison, purchasing an interest in the Daily Champion, which later merged with the Atchison Daily Globe. He was the main spoke in the wheel of action for the Globe until about twelve years ago, when he went to Amarillo, Texas, where he has since become the general manager of the News-Globe.
Six years ago, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Hallie Lucas, of Amarillo.
Surviving him besides his widow, are three brothers, Charles, of Shawnee, Okla.; Clifford and Robert, of Effingham; three sisters, Mrs. Vera Happel, Effingham; Mrs. Maggie Higley, Muscotah; Mrs. Mary Foster, Monrovia.
