Abstract: The following are excerpts from an oral history with T. Robert Boone Hawkins, interviewed June 1977. The Hawkins first came here in 1852, with my great-grandfather Arculus C. Hawkins. The family started from Virginia, moved out into Kentucky for a few years, then Missouri for a few years where my father, Arculus Jr., was born and then they came on across the plains. There were four sons. Three got out here. One of them was picked off by the Indians and they never did find him.
