General Notes: Husband - William S. Hamilton

---

He was educated in the public and select schools, and in his early life engaged in farming, stock dealing and merchandising. In 1876 he went to the town of Indiana, Pennsylvania, where he followed merchandising for ten years, a part of the time as a partner of William R. Loughrey.
In May, 1885, he became associated with J. R. Johnston in the brokerage business, having an office at the corner of Fifth avenue and Wood street, Pittsburgh. His experience in business as a speculator and broker were quite extensive, from 1886 to 1888, and the firm were members of the Board of Trade in Chicago. They leased 12,000 acres of land in Greene County, Pennsylvania, for oil purposes, and were pioneers in what was known as the Nineveh oil fields, but owing to the ill health of Mr. Hamilton the partnership was dissolved in 1889. After that time he has resided on the old family homestead, engaged in farming and kindred pursuits. In 1895 he built one of the finest residences of the county, supplying it with all modern improvements.
