It is necessary to record the death of another one of Montgomery County’s early settlers and most honored citizens. John Hamilton died Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 at his home near Bowers, of paralysis. About six months ago he was paralyzed on one side and last Monday he received a stroke on the other side. The funeral occurred today at Bethel Church near his home.
He was 65 years old and leaves a wife and six children. Among them are Gil Hamilton, editor of the Thorntown Argus, and Ed Hamilton, a merchant at Bowers. The deceased has been a Republican ever since the birth of the party and also a member of the Methodist Church. He settled in this county when quite young and has always been distinguished as an energetic and shrewd farmer. He has for many years lived on the present homestead, a valuable place of 300 acres. -s
