    Obituary

    Mrs. Margaret Ann Hamilton, widow of the late Edward L. Hamilton, died at the home of her son, E. LaRue Hamilton, yesterday afternoon in the 57th year of her age.  Mrs. Hamilton was a native of Warwick, Mass., and removed with her parents to Michigan when she was a child.  In 1856 she married E.L. Hamilton and removed to a farm in Niles Township.  After her husband's death she came to his city and has lived with her only son.  For several years she had been an invalid, and during the past year and up to the hour of her decease she was a great sufferer.  As long as health and strength permitted she was one of the most hospitable of entertainers and a host of friends will bear cheerful testimony to her many virtues.  The funeral will take place from the family residence on Broadway at 2 p.m. Tuesday.  (Same appeared in Niles Mirror, Wed.
