General Notes: Husband - Hon. Henry Hamlin
He inherited his father's love for books and research, and after his preparatory education was obtained began the study of law. Finding his health demanded a less sedentary occupation he engaged as clerk in the mercantile establishment of O. J. and B. D. Hamlin. At the age of nineteen years he was admitted a partner, continuing most successfully until 1878, when he sold out his interest in the business to Mr. Hoskell. His later business life was spent in oil, timber and banking ventures and brought him large returns. His holding of timber lands in Pennsylvania and other states was very large, while his oil, banking and commercial ventures were managed with wisdom. His faculty for acquiring a complete knowledge of the most intricate detail of every enterprise submitted to him was the great secret of his success, rarely making a mistake or suffering a loss in his investments. He established in 1863 the banking house of Henry Hamlin, in Smethport, which became one of the solid financial institutions of western Pennsylvania. He was one of the original organizers of the Smethport Water Works Company, and was concerned in the founding of every public enterprise of merit in his borough. He was a president of the First National Bank of Port Allegany, Pennsylvania, and senior member of the banking house of Henry Hamlin & Sons, established 1863, later the Hamlin Bank and Trust Company, of which he was president. Mr. Hamlin was also director of the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Company; trustee of the Fidelity Trust & Guaranty Company of Buffalo, New York; president of the Buckeye Gas Company of Cincinnati, Ohio; director in the Logan, Newark and other gas companies of Ohio; director of the Fulton & Phoenix Gas Companies in New York state; director of the Conklin Wagon Company of Olean, New York; trustee of the Minona Mining Company of Colorado; president of the Smethport Water Company and director in the Great Southern Lumber Company of Bogolusa, Louisiana. Besides the erection of a handsome bank building and a fine residence, Mr. Hamlin helped to beautify Smethport by the erection and endowment of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, of which he and his family were communicants and he senior warden.
He was a Democrat originally, but dissented with his party on the question of human slavery and supported the candidacy of Abraham Lincoln. In 1881 he was elected associate judge of McKean County, holding that office until the abolishment of same by McKean County becoming a separate judicial district.
