Mrs. Wm. Hamilton died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wilson Miller, five

of nearly 80 years.

she was united in marriage to Wm. Hamilton. In June, 1868, they came to the 
United States, residing for a time in Sioux City and afterwards moving to 
Calliope where Mr. Hamilton conducted a small store for a short time. He then 
took a homestead in Union County and for 38 years Mrs. Hamilton has been a 
resident of South Dakota. 

She leaves two daughters, one sister and two brothers to mourn her death. 

She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city and her life has 
always been that of a consistent Christian. 

The funeral was held today at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Miller and was 
attended by a large concourse of old friends and neighbors. The services were 
conducted by Rev. Ambler, pastor of the Presbyterian church, and the remains 
were laid to rest in Pleasant Valley cemetery beside those of her husband who
