G. T. HAMILTON
MET SUDDEN DEATH
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT STRICKEN WITH    
HEART TROUBLE SAT. NIGHT.
UP STREET THAT DAY
He Was in Falling Health but the News of His Death Proved a Suprise
* * * * *
Prominent in Army and Masons

The community was shocked Sabbath morning to learn of the sudden death 
of GEORGE TRIMBLE HAMILTON, of South Fifth Street., during the previous 
night at 1:15 a.m. Death was due to neuralgia of the heart.
The deceased had been suffering from the disease during the day, but his 
condition was not considered serious and he was able to do some shopping 
on Saturday.  Shortly after 1 o'clock Sabbath morning Mrs. Hamilton arose 
to give her husband some medicine and found him dead.
Mr. Hamilton was born at the Trimble homestead near town, in 1843. On 
July 2, 1868 he was married to Miss Elizabeth McLanahan, of this place, 
who with a son, Clark Hamilton, of Indiana, and daughter, Miss Bess 
Hamilton, a nurse in the Braddock General Hospital, survive. Two brothers, 
James, of Indiana and Sample, of Red Oak, Ia., and a sister, Mrs. S. S. 
Munshower, of near town also survive.
Mr. Hamilton conducted a hardware store on Philadelphia Street, until his 
retirement from business about a year ago.  He was a veteran of the Civil 
War and a member of Post No. 28, of Indiana.  The deceased was connected 
with the I.O.O. F. lodge and a high degree Mason, belonging to the Blue 
Lodge, No. 113, in Indiana; to Knight Templar No. 1, Commandery, and was 
a 32nd degree mason.
The funeral services will be held at the Hamilton home on Tuesday afternoon, 
at 2  o'clock, by Rev. E. S. Harper, rector of the Christ Episcopal church. 
The interment will be private at Oakland cemetary, the services at the grave 
being conducted by the Masonic Lodge. Members of the G. A. R. will act as 
honary pall-bearers.
