Richmond Conrad Hathorn, Sr., known as R. C. Hathorn or as Richmond C. Hathorn (November 25, 1893 – June 22, 1941), was a Democrat who represented his native Rapides Parish, Louisiana, from 1936 to 1940 in the Louisiana House of Representatives during the administrations of Governors Richard Leche and Earl Kemp Long, respectively. He served alongside W. T. Bradford and Jesse F. Lucas, who were in their second and last terms in the House.
Hathorn was a son of Richmond Yancey Hathorn (1858-1921) and the former Josephine Antoinette "Cennie" Borland. He served in the United States Army infantry in World War I. In 1919, he wed the former Mary Ella Richey (1897-2001), who was born in rural Rhinehart in Catahoula Parish. After his death, she was a widow for sixty years. The Hathorns had seven children, four from Alexandria: Louise Hathorn Slocum (1920-2013), Janet "Jinks" Hathorn Sauve (1922-2007), Richmond Conrad "Sonny" Hathorn, Jr. (1929-2009), and Irma Hathorn Davis. The surviving children are Robert J. "Jack" Hathorn (born October 1932) of the Poland Community in Rapides Parish and Lou Ann Hathorn Beard Thompson (born October 1933) of Vidalia in Concordaia Parish.
