Funeral of Mrs. Hamilton Friday

The funeral of the late Mrs. Polly Minerva Hamilton of South Canon
will be held at Wilson's undertaking chapel, 728 Main street, at 2:30
Friday afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. Burgess of the
Christian church. 

Mrs. Hamilton was born in Ohio, December 9, 1834, and was aged 84
years 6 months and 2 days at the time of her death.  She had been in
failing health for several years, and practically an invalid since the
death of her husband about a year ago.

After being widowed Mrs. Hamilton went to live with her son, James W.
Hamilton at Webster, KS, but a few weeks ago returned to Canon City.
She was accompanied on her return to Colorado by her daughter, Mrs.
Mary Hamilton, who assisted in caring for her until the end a few days
ago at the home of another daughter Mrs. Samuel Isabel, 1122 South
First Street.

Besides the son and two daughters mentioned, Mrs. Hamilton is survived
by 16 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren, most of whom live in
this community.  The deceased was a woman of noble heart and mind, and
had had a large circle of friends who will feel her loss keenly.

The funeral will be attended by the members of Greenwood Post, No.
10., G.A.R. and those who have automobiles are requested to tender
their use to convey the veterans and members of other patriotic
organizations to the cemetery where they may take part in the last
rites of respect to the memory of the dead.
