The 1900 Dade County Census lists Hamp, 65, and Elvira, 53, married 24 years. Their children at home are: Elmer J, 22, a school teacher; Grace, 19; and Leonard 14.
In the 1910 Census, after Hambleton's death, Elvira, 63, is head of household with Grace L, 27 and Leonard A, 24, at home. Grace and Leonard are public school teachers.
From the Greenfield Vedette, January 27, 1916 -- Mrs. Elvira Allen -- Once again death has summoned a sister of the Order of the Eastern Star and the golden gateway to the Eternal City has opened to welcome her home. She has completed her work in ministering to the wants of the afflicted, in shedding light into darkened souls, and in bringing joy in a place of misery, and as her reward has received the plaudit, "well done" from the Supreme Master.
And whereas, the all-wise and merciful Ruler of the Universe has called our beloved and respected sister home, and she having been a true and faithful member of our beloved order;
Therefore be it Resolved that Dadeville Chapter No. 82, in testimony of its loss, be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days, and we tender to the family our sincere condolence in their affliction.
