Chicago Daily Tribune - December 21, 1891
Marshall, Ill., Dec. 20 --(Special) -- The body of the Rev. E. J. Hamill of
Jacksonville arrived here this morning and was interred in the city cemetery
this afternoon.  The Rev. Mr. Hamill was 80 years of age and had been a minister
of the gospel for nearly half a century.  He was a resident of Alabama during
the war and one of the most rabid Unionists in the whole South.  More than once
his pronounced patriotic sentiments lead to his arrest, but so thoroughly
respected was he that he never suffered harm.  He had one son, Edward, in Jersey
City, N.J; and other, Prof. Howard M. Hamill, Illinois State Normal Works, in
Jacksonville.  His youngest son, Robert E., is a lawyer in Marshall.  The Rev.
Mr. Hamill was always a pronounced Republican, though a firm believer in
practical prohibition.
