Headline A Good Citizen Gone
Text William Hamilton was called to his eternal home by the Angel of Death, Sunday, January 7, 1912. He was born in Lafayette County, Missouri, July 5, 1850 and was 61 years, 6 months, and 2 days old.

Mr. Hamilton moved from Texas to this county in 1878 and has resided on his farm one mile southeast of town for many years.

He was a member of the Presbyterian church having united with that church in 1897.

He was married to Miss Rebekah Wilcox, March 10, 1870 and to this union was born six children all of whom are living, four daughters, Mrs. J. S. Price of Seligman, Miss Demmah, a teacher in the Monett schools, Miss Nannie, a teacher in the Purdy schools and Miss Neva who is attending school at Monett, and two sons, Pascal and Prof. Otho Hamilton, principal of the Washburn high school.

Mr. Hamilton has been identified with the interests of this community for many years and we feel that we have lost one of our best citizens. His bereaved campaign and children have the heartfelt sympathy of the people of this town and community.

The funeral services were held at Seligman Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. M. Smith of the Baptist Church of Exeter, and the body was laid to rest in the Seligman Cemetery amid the many beautiful flora tributes of loving relatives and friends.
