ky-footsteps Friday, 19 September 1997 Volume 01 : Number 237 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Edie Suttle Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 10:00:00 -0700 Subject: KY-F: CD, Harrison Co: Page 22, Part 1 HAMILTON & M'DONALD THE WELL KNOWN STONE FRONT MEN Everbody knows the famous Stone Front, on Main street, a few doors south of Pike. For years it has been headquarters for everything that was elegant and tasty in the dry goods and notion line. It has ever been under a progressive management that "pushed" things and kept Cynthiana in the dry goods line right squarely up to the front. Messrs. Hamilton and McDonald, the proprietors, are well known and popular gentlemen. Mr. J.C. Hamilton is a business man of instinct, education and experience. He was born in Pendleton county in 1854, and followed farming until twenty years of age. A graduate from the Cincinnati Business College in 1875, he located in Falmouth and for one year was deputy sheriff and for two years deputy circuit clerk. He engaged in mercantile pursuits in which he did a large and lucrative business, being everywhere recognized as the leading business man of Falmouth. On February 1, 1895, he bought the interest of J.T. Reynolds in the firm of Reynolds and McDonald, and by a continuation of strict business habits and by personal popularity has added materially to the strength of the firm. In 1880 Mr. Hamilton married Miss Sallie K. Mullins, a daughter of of Col. M. Mullins of Falmouth. Mr. J.L. Mc Donald is a native of Scott county, having been born there in 1864. His father was a famous __________, having built and operated for several years the famous Georgetown Mills, now owned by the Capt. Abe Lair estate. His father died in 1878, leaving the son to earn his own living. He was educated in the common schools and Georgetown College, and graduated from the Southern Business College, Louisville, in 1886, and began business by clerking in a grocery store at Stamping Grounds. He became a partener with J.T. Reynolds at Stamping Grounds in the dry goods business in 1888, and in 1891 came to Cynthiana, where with J.T. Reynolds, he bought out Horner _______. The dry goods business here was continual under the name of Reynolds & McDonald until February 189?, when Mr. Reynolds sold his interest to Mr. J.C. Hamilton, and the present firm was founded. Mr. McDonald was married to Miss Linda Coleman, daughter of Rev. T.H. Coleman, in Plano, Texas, April, 1891. Hamilton & McDonald carry a splendid stock. Besides an endless array of dry goods and notions they make specialty of fine shoes for both ladies and gentlemen, and pride themselves on the completeness of this department. Carpets, mattings, and rugs of every variety and pattern are always in stock. They have inaugurated special sales, and from time to time, through the columns of the DEMOCRAT, offer bargains that cannot be resisted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cynthiana Democrat, June 1896, Page 22 ------------------------------ From: "J.
