General Notes: Husband - Joseph Hamilton

---

At the age of about four years he removed with his parents to Irwin township, Venango county, PA, where he principally resided for about twenty-two years. He attended school in a log cabin under the direction of his father and others, and subsequently the Clintonville Academy. From his twentieth to his twenty-sixth year he taught school in Irwin and adjoining townships, and then removed to Harrisville. Mr. Hamilton spent a portion of his later life in merchandising and the oil business. During the Rebellion he served as a member of Company I, Sixth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, from July, 1864, to July, 1865. He was identified with the Whigs and Republicans in politics, and the Methodist Episcopal church in religion. [HVC 1890, 937]
