HISTORY by Tony Howe:
Hawkes was primarily a sawmill town that grew up around the sawmill of the W. S. Carter Lumber Co. This mill was sold to the Louise Lumber Co. in 1911, and finally shut down in 1915. The town mostly died out after the mill closed. A passing track was located here on the railroad, and continues to be used today. INDUSTRY - W. S. Carter Lumber Co.- 1905-1911 Louise Lumber Co.- 1911-1915 |
