A leading chartered accountant in Montreal, Mr. Hawthorn
was elected a member of the management committee of P. S.

task of integrating the two firms. He was also a member of
the Policy and Administrative Committees of the merged firm.
He handled many of the most important audits—such as Du Pont

and also carried out many large special assignments . . . such as
the installation of punched-card accounting for the City of
Montreal.
Mr. Hawthorn was born in Grenada, West Indies, and spent
his early years in Trinidad, where he attended Queens Royal
College. He moved to Canada in 1920 and joined the firm of
P. S. Ross and Sons, of which he became a partner in 1928. A
member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Quebec
since 1926, he served on several of its committees and on committees
of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
He was president of the Quebec Institute in 1952. He took an
active interest in student affairs and was one of the organizers
of the Students' Society. He was a member of the Montreal Club,
the Mount Stephen Club and the Mount Royal Club. He is
survived by his wife, Beatrice, two daughters, a son and a grandchild.
