EDWARD  P.  HAMILTON  -  Son of Patrick Hamilton of Littleville died at the home of his parents in that village on Thursday aged 34 years.

The deceased when a mere lad, entered the printing office of the Shortsville Enterprise where he learned typesetting and other useful points in the training of the practical printer, and at 18 entered the office of the New York World where he soon became an expert machine operator. 

He was for 16 years in the World office, until his health failed. He was a dutiful son, and highly respected. He leaves a wife and one child, one brother, John P. Hamilton of Auburn, two sisters, Mrs. James Quinn of Willard and Mrs. William Hanley of this village.                      

                           A second lengthy obituary appears in the book with newspaper accounts.

                                                            IN  MEMORIUM

We made brief note of the death of Edward P. Hamilton which occurred last week Thursday night, and news of which sad event came to us just as we were about to put the Enterprise edition to press.

It was in April 1884 that the writer became the owner of the Enterprise. At that time there was employed in the office a rosey cheeked boy, about fourteen years of age, a most loveable little fellow, the soul of honor, that he was Eddie Hamilton, the same young man whom we are feebly attempting to pay our last tribute of respect. He was ever at his post of duty, was trustworthy to a degree that won the love and admiration for him that has grown with the years.

We cannot refrain from speaking of his Christian character. Not once during his four years service did we hear an oath or a wicked expression from his lips, but daily we did hear religious quotations that came from his big heart, and his large expressive brown eyes told of the enjoyment derived in the use of scriptural phrases.

It was during those early years that he was Altar boy for the late Rev. Father Lee, the loving and beloved priest of the Shortsville and Clifton Springs parishes. He acted in such capacity during his residence here. That he loved his rector with a love that lasted through his 34 years of life is manifested by his last wish that his remains find a resting place by the side of Father Lee, in the Catholic cemetery between this village and Clifton Springs, which wish was fulfilled by his loving wife and parents.

We know full well that these same noble traits of Christian character followed Edward through life and we honestly believe that it has won for him a crown in the heavenly mansion. Long shall we cherish the memory of our loving faithful, and honorable apprentice of almost twenty years ago.

                           His body was interred 1903 Clifton Springs, New York, St. Agnes Cemetery.
