In MemOriam.

host of relatives and friends gathered
to witness the remains laid to rest OF
Samuel Higgins Hamilton.
The interment was in the family
burying ground at Joy Cliffs, Prince
Georges County, Md.
The services were conducted by Faith
er Hogan assisted by Father OShane.
In his eulogy, Father Hogan paid a
glorious tribute to the life of the de-
ceased
Each of US like to think that every
life has some special character; and
as we recall the life of our beloved de-
parted. we know that whatever other
Qualities he possessed. his most note
worthy traits were kindness, tender
heartedness and unbounded faith in the
love of God. His one prominent char
acteristic dominated his home. His
wife and children knew him as the ten
der kind husband. and indulgent father.
His hospital manner to his many
friends will long be remembered.
Samuel Higgins Hamilton was born
Jan 25, 1916; at West River, Anne
Arundel County, Md, where his boy

family circle, guided and inspired by
most devoted mother and firm father.
He was but sixteen years OF age when
he enlisted in the Confederate Army;
CRYING in H. B. Stewards Division,
under Captain ferdinand Duvall. He
was wounded at the battle of Gettys-

limb His brother, DR.. Summarized

He served as foreman of the Grand
jury, for number of years, and was a
member of the State Legislature.
On December z, t187l, he married
Miss Elizabeth Augusa Duvall of Bal
timore, Md.
His death bed was a most beautiful
one. He called his wife and children
to his bedside and gave to each one
comforting wrods. He spoke of the
glorious home beyond and his parting
words were, Il am going to onquer.
Throughout his illness, which lasted
a little over three months, he was
patient and bright and in the last
moments when excruciating pain at
tackled him, he smiled and prayed.
A happy, noble, spirit has left US;
He has just gone little ahead, gained
the summit, and passed beyond while
we have still the crest OF the mountain
to reach.
The active pall-bearers were James
H. Hamilton, Jr., Robert B. Harper,
Hamilton Walker, Harold Slingluff,
Franklin Peach and Samuel Hamilton
Spragins. He is survived by his widow,
four children, four sisters and three
brothers.
