General Notes: Husband - Hon. Alexander C. Hamilton


He was educated in the public schools and began life as a farmer on the homestead farm in Sewickley township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was a republican and always took an active part in political affairs. For ten years he served as justice of the peace in his native township, and for eighteen years he held the office of school director, most of the time being secretary of the board. In 1869 he was elected to the legislature of Pennsylvania to represent the counties of Westmoreland and Indiana. Under the administration of Grant he was assistant assessor and deputy collector of internal revenue, and during the war he was
supervisor of the first Order of Draft in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Although he was a resident of West Newton he owned a fine farm in Sewickley township-a part of the old homestead. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, in which he was a ruling elder.
