A portrait of Theodosia Hawley, the wife of Congregational minister, Henry K. Hawley. The Hawleys moved to the parsonage (217 Sixth Street) next to the Congregational Church on the corner of Sixth Street and Kellogg Avenue in 1915. They lived there until their retirement in 1935 when they moved to Florida. When they moved to Ames, their two older children, John and Elizabeth, were already teenagers, but their younger children, twins Robert and Ruth, were two or three years old and attended the Ames schools, graduating from Ames High School in 1930 (a year after Farwell Brown). All four Hawley children attended Oberlin College, in Ohio; but the older two graduated from Oberlin and the twins (like Farwell Brown) attended only one year and then returned to Ames where they attended Iowa State College. (Farwell Brown and Robert Hawley graduated from ISC in 1934.) (See also: 93.503.3-5)
