aged 81 years.
For the benefit of the many friends of the
deceased the following briet history of her life
Is given. She was born in Bridport, VT, the
daughter OF Jonas and Freelove lemenway.
In 1863 she married Col Chas. Hamilton, whom
she accompanied during the remainder OF the
war. After the war her husband was placed
in command of Fort Jefferson, Florida; and
from thence the family moved to Doctortown,
| Georgia, where Col. Hamilton engaged Tor sew
eral years in the lumber business. In 1870 Mrs.
Hamilton moved with her children to Bur-
| ilngton, Vt, but was recalled to Doctortown
| i'll 1873 by the death OF her husband. Two
! years later she returned to her old home in
! Bridport, where she remained until the spring
OF 1883, when she went to Manchester Center,
| the place OF herdeath.
| For some time previous to her last sickness
she had been n frequent sufferer from some
| internal disorder; although her courageous
nature ana UNIFORM cheerfulness OF demean-
or served to conceal, even from those init
mately associated with her, the true condition
Of her health. She was attacked with periton-
ltls sunday, March II, and passed away early
the following Thursday morning. The tuner
al was largely attended, and the manifest
grlei ahu beautiful floral offerings OF those
present bore evidence to the emotions of love
and esteem with which the decease was re-
garded by all that knew her
Her remains were taken to Bridport and
buried by the side of her husband. As a de.
voted churchwoman and prominent figure in
charitable and temperance organizations, her
loss will be deeply felt. The works she
wrought form the fittest memorial of her life
and character. And among these none stands
higher than that she performed in her own
household. That she raised her four sons up
to an irreprOachable Christian manhood,
forms the best tribute that can be paid to her
memory. OF her 1t may be truly said, Her
children rise up and call her blessed" y.
