Charles G. HAMILTON, for many years a well known farmer near Buckner, died February 4, at his home near Rush Springs, Ok., and was buried there Saturday. He went there from this county fifteen or twenty years ago. A few weeks ago Mr. HAMILTON, while doctoring some hogs, allowed some coal oil to saturate a part of his clothing. Not thinking of the danger, he lighted his pipe. His clothing caught fire and he was so badly burned that his injuries caused his death, though after a long period of suffering. Mr. HAMILTON was born July 15, 1844, in Kentucky. When he was five years old he came with the family to Fort Osage Township, where he remained till he went to Oklahoma. In 1860 he married Miss Mollie HALL, a daughter of T. G. HALL. They were the parents of two children, Andrew HAMILTON, of Excelsior Springs, and Christine HAMILTON, who married Neil CHILES, and lives near Buckner. Mr. HAMILTON was a member of the Baptist Church ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
