| Notes |
- Jessie was the youngest child of William and Martha A Hawk (nee London). Following the death of his father between 1905 and 1910, the family moved to Madison Co, IL. It is assumed that they moved there because his older sister, Minta, had married James Grant Stump in 1907 and moved to Madison Co, IL. Jessie lived with his mother until her death in 1916, and then moved in with his sister Stella Sonnenberg. Cause of death was apoplexy (stroke). The son of Stella, Hudson B Sonnenberg (who was then 13 years old) always remembered hearing a crash in the middle of the night when Jessie had his stroke. Apparently he had reached out and fallen off the bed and taken the lamp with him, which crashed to the floor with a loud noise and awakened the whole house.
