AMOS Nj. HAMLIN

Amos M. Hamlin, father of Mrs.
Edith Culver of Gliddenburg died on
July 4th, 1918 at the home of his
daughter Mrs. Carrie Marshall of st.
Cloud, Minnesota at the advanced
age of ninety-fve years. He was
born February 22nd, 1923 in Manlins
Onondaga county, New York. He
was married February 23rd, 1916 to
Laura j. Pennock of New York state
In 1864 he enlisted in Company n.
18th, Michigan Volunteers and SER
we'd until 1865. In 1871 he moved to
st. Cloud, Mimi, where Mrs. Hamlin
died on June 7th, 1896. Mr.. Hamlin's
life has been witnessed to great pro-
gress in this our beloved country.
At the time of his birth James Mon
roe was the fifth president of the
United States, there were twenty
four states, with population OF
100000. Today there are double
the number of states and the popu-
lation is estimated at 100000.
Then there were no railroads, steam
boats were in their infancy, and the
people travelled in stage coaches or
on horse back. There were only
sailing vessels on the ocean and to
cross the Atlantic required from four
to six weeks. Now the voyage is
made in from four to six days. There
was no kerosene, no gas, or electric
ity, then, and the tallow candles was
"the light of other days.. There
is shown the marvellous progress
made by the United States in ninety
five years. Nothing like it has been
known in the worlds history, nor
will there be such advancement in
all the years to come. Grandpa Ham
lin attributed his longevity to his
/ temperate mode of living. He was
consistent christian, true gentle
man, and everybody's friend. Be-
sides his two daughters Mrs. Carrie
Marshall and Mrs. Edith Culver, he
leaves two sons, Fred Hamlin and T.
j. Hamlin of Washington.
"Grow old along with me,
The best is yet to be,

Our times are in His hand,
Who saith, "a whole l planned,
