Hackworth who resides in Oklahoma, Mrs. L. T. Hoblit of Holtville, Calif., Mrs. John Lankford at Old Metz, Mrs. Edwards near Pappinville, and another daughter whose name and residence cannot be learned.

McGregor Post, G.A.R., for many years, but on going to Oklahoma withdrew his membership. Mr. Hackworth resided in and near Metz for many years and was known by almost everyone. He was a good man and had many friends.
