Emma Hawes (died 1888 in Birmingham) was the wife of Richard Hawes. She and her two daughters were murdered by him during the weekend of December 1, 1888. Her body was found in the lake at Lakeview Park on December 8. The discovery led to a lynch mob gathering to kill Hawes, already imprisoned for the murder of his older daughter, whose body had been found in East Lake on December 4.
