DIANTHA (SMITH) HAMILTON   cemetery 89A

DEATH OF MRS. DIANTHA HAMILTON
As we are about to go to press we are informed of the death
of Mrs. Diantha Hamilton, one of our oldest and most highly
esteemed citizens. While Mrs. Hamilton has been in failing
health for several months the tender devotion and care of the
family together with her remarkable vitality, has lessened the
anxiety of her many friends causing her death to come with
sudden realization of the loss of one who has meant much to
our community.
Mrs. Hamilton was a daughter of Hezekiah Huntington Smith
who came to Two Rivers from Youngstown, Niagara County,
N.Y. in 1846. She was born at Youngstown July 29, 1830.
After coming west with her family she resided for a time in
Milwaukee, attending the old Milwaukee College, joining
her family at Two Rivers in 1846. At that time Two Rivers
was a mere frontier settlement consisting of a few log
houses located in a small clearing in the dense forest.
She was married at Two Rivers, December 23, 1849 to
Henry C. Hamilton who has also come here from Niagara
County, New York. Four children were born of this union,
all living today, J.E. and H.P. of this city George D.
Hamilton of Detroit, Minn., and Mrs. J.L. Moore of Atlanta,
Ga.
At the outbreak of the Civil War her husband enlisted as
Quarter-master of the 21st. Regiment of Wisconsin
Volunteers. On April 4, 1864 he died at Nashville, Tenn.
Altho for fifty years the widow of a soldier and officer in
the Civil War, Mrs. Hamilton never received a pension.
Left without means upon the death of her husband with 
four small children, the youngest a baby she managed 
to support herself and children until they could provide for 
themselves. She endured privations with fortitude and in 
her later years lived to enjoy some of the comforts of life.
Among the many services she and her family have
rendered this city and community, she held the distinction 
of having taught the first school in Two Rivers and her 
pupils were some of the pioneers who helped to develop 
the community.
Measuring her life with its far reaching influence, we are 
unable to express the full significance of her service. Her 
father, husband, children and grandchildren have had a 
leading part in the development of Two Rivers and she lived 
more than four score years, a witness to all changes that 
have taken place. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that 
the people of this community extend deepest and most 
heartfelt sympathy to the family in bereavement.
Funeral services will be held from Grace Church, Sunday 
afternoon at 2:30 Rev. Morris officiating.

HAMMOND.---At his residence in the town of Cato, Manitowoc Co., 
on the 1st day of July, Preston H. Hammond, aged 45 years.
Mr. Hammond was one of the early settlers of Manitowoc county, and a man 
who was universally esteemed by all who knew him.  A kind husband and 
father, his death has cast a dark shadow over the home circle, yet they 
can truly feel that it is only a link in the golden chain that binds them 
to the great beyond.---He had suffered for some time with a nervous disease, 
and bore his trouble with fortitude to the end.  He was born in Herkimer 
county, N.Y., April 9th, 1832, and removed to Jefferson county in that 
State, at the age of seven years where he lived until the age of twenty-one;
the remainder of his life was spent in Wisconsin.  His religious belief 
was in the Methodist Episcopal church.  He leaves a wife and seven children.
Farewell father, brother, husband dear,
We part with you, but not in fear,
We hope to meet you, soon again
And know our hopes are not in vain.
