Mrs. Hamilton was daughter OF

Junction, now Gibbs, by Rev. ]. e.
Beck, Of Union City.
Mr.. Hamilton was for many years
express agent at Rives and there
they were located for many years.
Four children were born, four sons
and daughter, two Of whom are
the only survivors-Messrs. Fred
and Robert Hamilton. Eleven or
twelve years ago the family located
in Union City and in 1917 Robert
Hamilton, Sr., passed away.
Mrs. Hamilton is survived by two
sisters-Mrs. Anna Hight of Trenton
and Mrs. Lula Curry, of Jackson.
Mrs. Hamilton was known by the
neighbors and others of the many
friends in Union City as Aunt Mollie.
She was member of the A. r. P.
Church in Rives, where she wor
SHIPPED as young woman. She was
three score and ten, but as the years
passed the gentle graces of woman
hood ripened in one of lifes most
beautiful characters The children,
grandchildren and all about her wor-
SHIPPED Mother Hamilton, her friends
loved her. She was always the same
sweet friend, with a smile and a
heart that kindled and radiated hui
man kindness.
Mrs. Hamilton was very active in
her home affairs, especially kind and
attentive, cheerful and obliging,
smoothing the pillow and inspiring
hope in the invalid, and no one knew
her but to pay her homage. The pass
ing of such a mother and friend
leaves the heart burdened, but a
life leavened with the sweetest ben
edictions and blessings.
A prayer service conducted by
Rev. E. M. Mathis, was held at the
residence Tuesday afternoon, and the
remains were conveyed to Rives to
the A. R. P. Church. There service
was held, conducted by Rev. T. P.
Pressly, of Troy, assisted by Rev.
Nell, of Rives, and the church choir.
The remains were inferred at
Pleasant Hill, with a beautiful token
of flowers.
The following poem was found in
Mrs. Hamilton's purse:
YOUTH.
Being young is not matter OF age,
OF being child instead of sage,
For some are old at thirty or more,
While others arc youthful whose days
are fourscore.
The secret of youthfulness Is to live
right,
And carry to bed clear conscience
at night;
Keep right with thy God, look the
world in the face,
And journey through life at smooth,
even pace.
Don't worry, don't murmur, don't
fret or complain,
For such things won't help to right
matters again;
But a smile will work wonders when
things are awry,
And it won't cost penny its magic
to try.
IT'S fretting and worry that whiten
the hair,
They hasten old age and load US with
care,
But the one who can smile and drive
care away
Will always be youthful, like spring
