General Notes: Husband - John Hamilton

---

He attended school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and finished his education under the tutorship of the late Hon. Walter H. Lowry. When sixteen years old he began to learn the steamboat-joiner business, serving an apprenticeship of three and a half years; then worked for about a year at journey-work, when he began for himself putting cabins on vessels; later, for five years he was engaged in building houses. In 1846 he opened a general store in Shousetown. He was first appointed postmaster under the administration of Millard Fillmore, reappointed under Lincoln, and served for thirty years, until removed by Grover Cleveland.
