Hamilton Dead At Grants Pass

George S. Hamilton, 62, former president of the Hamilton Manufacturing company, Two Rivers, died today at his home, Grants Pass, Oregon, where in recent years he operated a turkey ranch. He had been in failing health for several months.

The body is to be brought to Two Rivers for private graveside services, tentatively set for next Tuesday.

The only son of the late J.E. Hamilton, founder of the Hamilton company, he was born in Two Rivers in 1885 and after attending schools in that city enrolled at Culver military academy in Indiana and the Shattuck Military academy, at Fairbault, Minn.

Mr. Hamilton entered the employ of the Hamilton company in 1909 and was factory manager from 1912 to 1920 when he succeeded his father as president, serving from 1920 to 1933. In 1937 he moved to Oregon to establish a turkey ranch at Grants Pass.

An active sportsman and huntsman, he was active in Masonic Elks and Rotary club circles in Two Rivers, being the first president of the latter club.

He is survived by his wife, the former Edith Crocker of Stevens Point; and a son, John S. of Tyrone, N. Mex.

He was a first cousin of Edward P. Hamilton, president of the Hamilton company.
