P. Strong, of Vergennes, Vermont, where he remained until he attained the age of sixteen years, when he went to Potsdam, New York, to engage in business with his uncle, Berlin Price, who was one of the owners of the Bank of Potsdam, New York. He remained there until his twentieth year, then going to Chicago, where he entered a dry goods house. Accompanied by his brother, Henry A.

Mr. Hawley at once proceeded to Butte County, and subsequently to Plumas County, where he was engaged in quartz-mining fifteen years.
