No Markers

The erection of an Identification marker bearing names of the donors of Hamilton park was voted at a meeting of the park board held late yesterday. At the present time there is no tablet at the park to this effect, and there is also no sign of any kind which signifies even the name of the plot.
 The proposed marker will con- tain the information that Hamil- ton park was donated to the city in 1898 by Mrs. Isabel Ely Ham ilton, widow of David B. Hamil- ton, and was given in memory of her husband. David Hamilton was president of the Roger Bros. silver manufacturing concern from 1878 to 1898, and the factory still stands on the Silver street bound- ary of the park.
 According to present plans the marker will be established at some point south of Plank road.
