Of the first union , three sons still live, and all were with their father during his last illness. He was married last to Mrs. Augusta A. Ayers, Golden City, Missouri, who survives him.

The deceased entered the Union Army from Illinois and served his country faithfully. ( The Co. A. 31Regt. Illinois Vol. Inf. )Father Hamilton was converted when thirty years of age and united with the Presbyterian ChurchIn 1890 when he moved into Kansas, he joined the M.E. Church and was a faithful member till death. He was very deaf and it was difficult for him to hear , so much so that he said he had not been able to hear an entire sermon for 20 years yet he was a constant and regular attendant at church and got great good thereby. During his last illness he called his wife and three sons and his step-son to his bedside and asked them to place their hands upon him and then he sang "Pass me not , O Gentle Savior", and ask them to meet him in Heaven.His funeral will take place Friday from the Methodist Church with Rev. Wolf officiating. The deceased was a member of the Fremont post of the GAR and Odd Fellows.
