  	They are living in the household of his parents. He was a bank clerk. Two young children, Ruth (5) and Mary (2), were also enumerated in David and Sally Hawkins' household as grandchildren. They were likely children of Wesley and Mary Hawkins. Wesley Urban Hawkins, said to be a child of Wesley and Mary, was not enumerated with the household although others indicate he was born in 1877. This anomaly could be an error by the census enumerator, Mary actually being Wesley Urban.
