A GOOD MAN GONE; Geo. H. Hamilton, Author, Good Citizen and Christian Gentleman Dead.
George W. Hamilton died Friday morning about 3 o'clock at his home on North Bluff Street after an illness lasting about ten days. From the beginning of his illness his case seemed hopeless and he himself expected the end. He died peacefully after great suffering which he bore as befitted a man of his character.
George W. Hamilton was born 63 years ago at Martinsburg, Pennsylvania. He attended college at Washington and Jefferson in Pennsylvania and at Bethany College in Virginia. He lived at Pittsburg where he was in business and in Texasa where he engaged in sheep raising. He farmed a few years in Kentucky where 42 years ago he was married to Felicia Brown, who with seven children, survive him.
The last twenty-three years of his life were spent in Callaway County.
Mr. Hamilton was a man of strong character and splendid mental attainments. He is the author of several books which have decided merit and has written short newspaper articles innumerable which were always welcomeed by publishers. His very decided views on religious matters and his extreme piety were subjects of comment but the best part of his character and of his life was the sweetness and the affection that clustered around his home life. Seldom is there seen such an example as was shown here.
The children who survive him are, Brown, George W. Jr., Ernest, Martin, Mrs. Jesse McPherson, Mrs. Taylor Ebersole and Mrs. Austin Crenshaw.
Funeral services for the late George W. Hamilton were held at the Christian Church Saturday morning and despite the busy day and busy hour of that day, the church was crowded with friends of the deceased. The services were conducted by Reverends Fite, Gilcrest and Jones and were most impressive. The favorate songs of the departed were sung and his works in the church and as a man were reviewed and commented upon in a supple feeling way by Reverend Fite in a brief address.
One of the town's best citizens has departed this earth.
