Notes: Manon Hawley was born 20 Nov 1915 in Oasis, Millard, Utah. She was the youngest of nine children of Sims Matheny Hawley and Arizona (Zona) Church. In the 1920 U.S. census, Manon was living with her family on Eagle Street in Eureka, Juab, Utah. The family was renting their residence, and her father Sims was a farmer, farming on his own farm. The children at home were Armond B., 12, Melvin J., 7, Eldon B., 7, and Maron, 3. The oldest three attended school.

Manon's father Sims died in 1927 as a result of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's disease. In the 1930 U.S. census, Manon was living with her family on State Road in Oasis, Millard, Utah. Her mother Zona, now widowed, was the owner of the alfalfa farm. The children at home were Melvin J., 18, Eldon B., 18, and Maron, 14, all attending school.

Manon attended Hinckley High School and went on to LDS Business College. She worked for a cousin in Los Angeles, California. She married Benjamin H. Robison on 8 Sep 1939 in the LDS Temple in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah.

Manon and Benjamin lived in Hinckley until Benjamin joined the U.S. Marines in 1945. They now had two children, and Manon and the children joined him in San Diego, California for several months. Upon their return they lived and farmed in Sutherland, Millard, Utah for 34 years, raising a total of five children.

Manon was active in the LDS Church, serving in several positions in the Relief Society and Young Women's. She was busy as a farmer's wife, and crocheted over 100 afghans for family members. She and her husband traveled, going around the world on several cruises.
