TO THE DESCENDANTS OF ANDREW HAMILTON AND LILLIAN DAY

GENERAL:  
 The "Miss Wilson" identified in my last Newsletter as attending the 1946 reunion is now thought to be Marion Day Wilson, daughter of James Robert Wilson and Grace Taylor.  Bill Hamilton made this connection but thought she may have died in 1938, however on checking with Glenn Wilson, he has her death date as 12 March 1950.  He says that she lived with her Grandfather (Grace Taylor's father), Joseph Taylor in the Burnstown area and, at the time of her death, was living with Grace (McLean) and Garfield Richardson.  Grace McLean's parents were Hannah Lucy Wilson (Marion's sister) and Robert McLean.  Since Marion Day Wilson was born  6 April 1861, she would have been about 85 at the time of the reunion.  Grace Taylor's mother was Isabella Kennedy.

You will note that there was no Mrs. Gillispie (or Gillespie) shown as attending either the 1945 or
1946 reunions.  The 4th person shown in the picture in the December 2004 Newsletter, therefore,
is probably not a Mrs. Gillespie but rather,  Mrs. David T. Hamilton (as identified by Bill Hamilton).




The people in this picture are: 1) John Hamilton; 2) James Hamilton; 3) Rev. W. T. Hamilton;
4) Jean (Hamilton) Gillespie; 5) Mary (Hamilton) Lebarron; 6) Mrs. John Forrest (Mary Park
Hamilton); 7) Althea Hamilton.  These pictures are believed to have been taken at a gathering
(reunion?) in about 1936. 

FROOD:
I recently received some information from Jack Earwaker on the Frood family.  He sent me the info that was in the  Newsletters Volume 4 Number 1 and Volume 4 Number 6.  He has provided some corrections on the early generations which I will try to include in my next Newsletter.
