When eighteen years of age he came with the family from Northboro to Clearfield, in the vicinity of which he lived until his death.

He leaves to mourn his loss his father, mother, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.Hamilton, one sister and three brothers, of whom George and Ross have lived in this community—besides other relatives and friends.

The funeral services were held at the home on Sunday at 1 p. m., conducted by Rev. C. A. Carlson of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. Aikin of the U. P. church. Interment was in Clearfield Cemetery.
