Charles Bart Hawley ’32

Bart Hawley, former president of Hilton-Hawley Co., his family's printing and litho inks manufacturing facility in Cincinnati, died Sept. 24, 2003, of congestive heart failure at his Indian Hill home. He was 92.

He graduated from Princeton in 1932 with a degree in politics. He was manager of the gym team, and a member of Minor "P," Iron Rim Club, and Charter Club.

After college he returned to Cincinnati to join the family business. He enlisted in the Navy in 1943 and served as a lieutenant at the procurement and material office in San Francisco until the war's end. He again returned to Cincinnati to become president of Hilton-Hawley, where he stayed until the company was acquired by Borden Inc. in 1961. He then was a regional manager of the printing ink division until retiring in 1975.

Bart married Alexina Wilder, with whom he had a daughter, in 1939. They divorced in 1944. He was preceded in death by his second wife, Catherine Taylor Boyd Hawley, in 1975. Survivors include his wife, Mary Louise Hawley; two daughters, Alexina Lane and Kitty Schmidt; two sons, Charles Hawley and Frederick Hawley; stepson Edward Wagner Terrill; stepdaughter Pam Treverton; eight grandchildren; five step-grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and one step-great-grandchild, to all of whom we extend our condolences.
