Show WILLIAM HAMILTON HAS ANSWERED LAST .CALL. As we are closing the forms on this issue of Tho Record, we learn of tho death of William Hamilton in this city. Consumption is tho cause of his demise, nnd ho has been gradually grad-ually sinking for some months past. It was thought on several occasions earlier in tho week that his last moments mo-ments had come, but then he would rally and feel a little better for a time. Mr. Hamilton came here with his brother Robert (his only surviving near kinsman, if he is still alive) n few years ago, nnd remained here with cousins and other distant relatives, while his brother returned to the old country. William was receiving an annuity from his father's estate sufficient suf-ficient to keep him comfortably, but for the last year and a half he has received no tidings from his brother, nor remittance from his estate. Ho fcai'cd that his brother had enlisted in the army and hnd possibly been 'numbered 'num-bered with the slain. Tho Hamiltons are distantly related to the Bullochs of this city, and William Wil-liam was at the homo of David C. Bulloch when the end came. Deceased was of a quiet, retiring disposition, genctous to a fault, and was thought a great deal of by his intimate acquaintances. Wo are not yet advised as to the arrangement for funeral services. |
