From the history of the Susquehanna & Juniata Valleys by F Ellis & A N Hungerford:

James B Hamlin was born in Warren County Pa, the son of James & Rachel Hamlin, who had three other children: the Rev Benjamin B Hamilin of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
Fannie E & William L.

james was educated in the public schools with a brief term at the Mifflinburg Acadaemy. He studied law with the Hon. George F Miller in 1853 and was admitted to the bar in 1855. One of the committee of the examiners, who spoke at his death, when it was announced in court, said that he was never on any committee where there was better evidence exhibited of the student being well grounded, having an intelligent perception of the elementary orincipals of our profession. He was elected disstrict attorney of Union County in 1856. He died at the house of his brother in Baltimore. His lungs were his weakness and he was always bright and hopeful. His five years of performance showed great competency and the members of the bar where much attached to him. He was buried on one wet stormy day in the hillside graveyard at Salona, but his body was after removed to Cedar Hill. A tree planted by a membe of the bar at his grave, was transplanted with his removal and has grown a great flourishing tree in these last 26 years.
