Nebraska the Land and the People: Volume 3 page 501

[p.501] Frederick G. Hawxby,Nemaha County attorney, is an able man in his profession, a public leader, probably one of the most influential men in the Democratic party of Nebraska. He is a native of the state, and his parents were pioneers of Nemaha County. A record even briefly told of their experiences and activities tells a great deal about the pioneer life of this section of the Middle West.

Nebraska the Land and the People: Volume 3 page 502

[p.502] Frederick George Hawxby was born at the homestead about two and a half miles northwest of Nemaha, December 10, 1871. He attended the Maple Grove School, a quarter of a mile north of the home, and rode horse-back to school at Nemaha three winters, after the fall plowing and seeding was done. He and his brother alternated in attending school, [p.502] each one working half a day in the fields and attending school the rest of the day. Their father insisted that the boys bring their books home, and he helped them with their lessons at night. During 1890-91 Mr. Hawxby attended the Western Normal College at Shenandoah, Iowa, his board, room rent, tuition and book rent for the forty-eight weeks costing him $153.50. In 1891-92 he taught a nine-months term in the Belfry school, five miles from home, riding horseback to and from the school so as to board at home. In 1893 he attended Lincoln Normal College under J. F. Sailor, securing a diploma as Bachelor of Pedagogy. He was superintendent of the public schools at Britton, South Dakota, for two years, 1894-95, being paid what he considered a large salary, $800 for a year of ten months. In 1895 he entered the University of Nebraska, graduated with the B. A. degree in June, 1899, and took his law degree in 1901. During the six years he was in the university he supported himself, carrying a daily newspaper on a route, and for three years was cashier of a boarding club. During his senior year in law school he was elected to the Twenty-seventh Legislature from Nemaha County and spoke all over the county during the presidential campaign of 1900, at a time when the county was strongly Republican. He was active in the Union Literary Society and the Union Boys Debating Club, and represented Nebraska on three successive interstate debates, with Missouri in 1898, Kansas in 1899, and Colorado in 1900. He was also on the staff of writers for the Hesperian College publication, and was engaged in teachers institute work one season.

Mr. Hawxby after being admitted to the bar formed a law partnership with George W. Cornell in 1901, and from 1903 was associated with Judge John S. Stull at Auburn until the death of Judge Stull in 1910. Later he had a partnership with W. C. Parriott, and in 1920 became a partner of Judge H. A. Lambert. Judge Lambert died in 1924. He is now associated with R. F. Neal. On the death of Judge Stull in 1910 he became attorney for his valuable estate, and since that time has been agent and superintendent of the Stull farms. Judge Stull bequeathed to him his extensive library, and that library, with his own and the library of the late Judge Lambert and the Neal library, gives him access to one of the finest law libraries in this part of the state.

Judge Hawxby is one of the ablest criminal lawyers in Nebraska. While county attorney he helped prosecute several notable murder cases, and has also appeared as attorney for the defense in trials that have attracted more than local attention. He made tremendously effective pleas before the jury in the defense of Lucy M. Neal, charged with the murder of B. T. Neal, and in the defense of Sylvia Waters, charged with shooting her former husband.

When he reached his majority he became affiliated with the Populist party and was connected with the first Farmers Alliance organized in his home district, about 1888. After his term in the Lower House of the Legislature he served two terms as county attorney, 1910-14, and as county judge in 1916-20. In 1917 he was tendered appointment as deputy attorney general under Gen. Willis E. Reed. Few men gave more freely of their time in behalf of all war activities. He was secretary of the Council of Defense of the county and chairman of the Four-Minute Men. As a speaker on political and general subjects his services have been much in demand at memorial exercises, Fourth of July celebrations, harvest home picnics and other gatherings. He has spoken on different occasions in Nemaha County for a quarter of a century.

Judge Hawxby at the age of fourteen was confirmed in the Episcopal Church at Nemaha, but since his marriage has been a member of the Christian Church at Auburn, and has served as a deacon of the church. He has been a contributor to Cotner College. He has been active in promoting the public library at Auburn, in the Chamber of Commerce, served six years as a member of the Auburn Board of Education, being president of the board two years. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since 1898. Judge Hawxby is a Nemaha County, and is a member of the Nemember of the State Historical Society, Nebraska State University Alumni Association of braska and American Bar Associations.

page 503
He married at Talmage, Nebraska, November 17, 1909, Miss Pearl Norton. They were married by Elder R. Harris, minister of the Christian Church and former lieutenant governor. They were married in the home of Squire William H. Norton, her grandfather, who was a Civil war veteran and G. A. R. man at Talmage. Mrs. Hawxby is the oldest daughter of Hugh and Myra (Claypool) Norton. Her father for many years was Missouri Pacific agent at Brock, later at Plattsmouth, now at Panama, Nebraska, and is chairman of the village board and president of the school board at Panama, and a justice of the peace. Mrs. Hawxby graduated with honors from the high school at Brock, and was taking a course in the Peru State Normal when her stepmother died, and she gave up college work to keep house for her father, and became foster-mother to her half-sister, Mildred. Her only brother, James Norton, served as a corporal with the Rainbow Division in France. Judge and Mrs. Hawxby have two daughters. Margaret Louise, born at Auburn February 20, 1911, is one of the brilliant scholars in the Auburn High School, and besides the honors of scholarship has been a member of the high school debating team and member of the annual staff, and excels in mathematics, dramatic work, debating and athletics. She is also a pianist and a leader in Christion Endeavor and Sunday School work. The second daughter, Ruth Lenore, born at Auburn August 7, 1913, is also in high school, has shown originality in composition work in English, is [p.503] a vocalist and violinist, and active in Girls Reserve and Camp Fire work, Christian Endeavor, and is a member of the young people's choir in the Christian Church.

Notes for WILLIAM HAWXBY:

WILLIAM HAWXBY, was born at Ripon, Yorkshire, England, January 29, 1838. He served an apprenticeship of four years as a butcher under his father, and also worked on a large farm under an older brother. He became a skilled buyer of live stock and had no superior as a judge of the quality of beef animals and draft horses. He was well educated, attending a high school at Melmerby and later a Latin school.

In 1856, at the age of twenty-three, he came to America on a sailing vessel, spending five weeks on the voyage. For two years he worked on a farm near Joliet, Illinois, at $13 a month, and in 1858 acquired eighty acres of land in Hardin County, Iowa. In 1860 he removed to Nemaha County, Nebraska. Among the early settlers, he butchered and delivered fresh meat, and in 1862, in order to rid his system of malaria, went to the mountains, making two trips as a freighter of provisions from Brownville to Denver. In 1867 he went back to visit his mother. In Nebraska he broke up and improved three farms, one in Richardson County and two in Nemeha County. After his marriage in 1870 he immediately built a house on what has since been known as the Hawxby Homestead, the southwest quarter of section 35, township 5, range 15, in Nemaha Precinct.

He was a lover of blooded stock, promoted the breeding of pure bred Shorthorn cattle and Percheron borses, and planted one of the first orchards in Nemaha Precinct. He was active in the Farmers Alliance and the Grange movement. William Hawxby lived to be eighty-nine years, nine months old, passing away in 1922. He was one of the very oldest Masons in the county when he died, was active in the support of the Episcopal Church at Nemaha, and served on the local school board many years. He was also treasurer of the school district. He was a great reader, had a wonderful memory, and sacrificed everything that his children might attend normal school and college.

He was first a Republican, voting for John C. Fremont for President in 1856. Later he became a Populist and finally a Democrat.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1870, he married Hannah Maria Hodkin, who was born in Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England, October 9, 1841, daughter of George and Martha (Hambleton) Hodkin.
