Mr Jas C. Hamilton
The sad news of the death of Mr Jas C. Hamilton, which occurred at Moosejaw, N.W.T., on Sunday last was received by his friends here on Monday morning. Mr Hamilton was the youngest son of the late Gavin Hamilton, of Ramsay, and was well and favourably known in Almonte and the surrounding district. he was for a number of years a clerk with Mr John B. Wylie when he kept store in the stand now occupied by Messrs Timmins & Co, his connection therewith being severed by the necessity for a change on account of failing health. About fourteen years ago he went west and located at Moosejaw, N.W.T., where from the position of clerk he rose to that of manager and then to partner in the firm, which was known as Robertson & Hamilton, the business under his care having grown rapidly. About eleven years ago he was married to Miss Ida Blake, of town, youngest daughter of Mrs H. Blake, and Mrs Hamilton, and one son, Kenneth, aged ten years, are left to mourn his loss. The deceased was not of a rugged physique, but after his removal westward his health was much improved until he was taken, with anaemia, and last year he spent some time in California, where he received much benefit from the change, but unfortunately the disease had not been eradicated and he succumbed to its ravages. The remains are being taken to Ottawa today (Thursday), where they will be placed in a vault to await interment in the spring. Mrs Hamilton and Mr Robertson (Mr Hamilton business partner), who accompanied the remains to Ottawa were joined here by some of the Almonte friends.

The Moosejaw Times of March 10th has the following reference to the death of Mr Jas C. Hamilton:
"Moose Jaw mourns the loss of one of its best known and most highly esteemed citizens. At 4:30 o'clock Sunday morning, Mr James Cochrane Hamilton, of the firm of Robinson & Hamilton, passed peacefully away at his home on Main street. Deceased was a victim of anaemia, from which he suffered much for several years past. Two years ago he was taken very seriously ill, and his death was hourly expected. With great care he managed to pull through and recuperate, and for the past year was able to attend to his business as usual. About the first of the year it could be seen that he was losing ground, and three weeks ago he was compelled to give up his work. The manner in which he always bore up against the ravages of the disease, and his always cheerful disposition, even in his weakness and most trying moments, was remarkable, so much so, that while everyone knew of his illness, few thought that it was so serious and the announcement of his death on Sunday morning came as a surprise. The funeral service was held at family residence at 3.30 p.m. Monday, and the remains were taken to Ottawa on Monday's delayed train, where they will be interred. Mrs Hamilton, and his only son, Master Kenneth, and Mr T.W. Robinson, accompany them. Mr Robinson will return to Moose Jaw at once, but Mrs Hamilton will remain in the east for some weeks. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved wife and little son, who are left to mourn his loss. The deceased was a native of Almonte, Ont, where he was born in January, 1867. He was therefore yet a young man of 37 years, but the disease from which he suffered made him look much older. He was educated at the public and grammar school of his native town. He started his business career as apprentice at the age of 17 years, and after several years experience in Brockville, Ont, and in Manitoba, he came to Moose Jaw in 1892 to accept a position as manager for Mr T.W. Robinson. In 1896 Mr Robinson took him into partnership retired from active business, and moved to Toronto, since which time Mr Hamilton had entire charge. Deceased was one of our most public spirited and enterprising citizens and always gave a helping hand to every movement calculated to further the best interest of the community. He served as town councillor, but was unable to complete his last term owing to ill health. He was also an active member of the Board of Trade and, possible, worked energetically to further its interest. He was a staunch supporter of St Andrew's Presbyterian church, of which he was a member, a trustee, and a manager, and he will be greatly missed by the whole congregation."
