St Lawrence Republican - Wednesday March 30, 1910

Mrs. Catherine Hamilton died very suddenly at her home in Raymondville between the hours of 3 and 4 Monday afternoon, March 21st. Mrs. Hamilton had been in feeble health for some time owing to her advanced years, but feeling better than usual had started for a short walk to a nearby neighbor's and when nearly there was seen to fall. Kind friends hastened to her aid and carried her home, but she never regained consciousness, death coming in about fifteen minutes, due to failure of the heart.

Mrs. Hamilton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Dec 31st, 1828, living to the age of 81 years, 2 months, and 21 days. In her early years she was married in Scotland to Thomas Hamilton. Coming to this country and living for some years in Madrid from there they went to Louisville, purchasing a farm and living there until in their later years they resided in Raymondville. Mr. Hamilton died July 14, 1904. Since then she has been lovingly cared for by her daughter, Margaret, who had remained with her parents.
