OF more than one Hambleton fortune.
A daughter-in-law was once report

they might have been saved from de-

bleton crushed Mrs. Van Camp by
stating, In tone OF deep personal

A salient strength persisted in the
Hambletons-a strength which sre
tanned it's character in spite Of cross
currents. The Hambieton tone and
