M. Garrison at Unionville at 9 o'clock this morning. Prof. Hamilton suffered a stroke of paralysis about six months ago and in his advanced age was not able to throw off its effects. Oliver C. Hamilton was born in Randolph county in 1840, dying at the advanced age of 78 years. Two years after Union Institute was founded at Unionville he was called to take charge of it. For twenty years he was the guiding spirit of the old institution that has produced so many prominent citizens. After resigning as head of this institution he taught at Mint Hill in Mecklenburg county for several years. Later he returned to Unionville where he again assumed the principalship of the Univonville High School. About four years ago he quit the school room as active teacher. The deceased was twice married, the second time to Miss Kirk of Palmerville. He is survived by six sons and seven daughters. The sons are: Mr. W.B. Hamilton of Charlotte, Mr. J.J. Hamilton and Mr. C.E. Hamilton of Winston-Salem, Prof. O.A. Hamilton, principal of the Greensboro High School, Dr. E.S. Hamilton, with the American Army in France, and Sgt. O.S. Hamilton, also in France. The daughters are: Mrs. W.B. Love and Mrs. L.E. Sutton of Monroe, Mrs. J.P. Marsh and Mrs. L.E. Huggins of Marshville, Mrs. C.J. McCombs of Gastonia, Mrs. Walter Gordon of Lawrenceville, Va., and Mrs. G.M. Garrison of Unionville, with whom he made his home. Funeral services will be conducted at the Methodist church at Univonville tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. Dr. H.E. Gurney will conduct the services. prof. Hamilton was a Mason and interment will be at the cemetery here at 6 o'clock with Masonic honors. Prof. Hamilton was a man who feared God and loved his fellow man. "Character is caught, not taught," and many a boy and girl has been strengthened in character by coming in contact with "God's nobleman" in the school room. In the school room love rather than the rod won for him the obedience of all his pupils. "He could control his pupils better than anyone I have ever known," said a man on the streets of Monroe this morning. The Monroe Journal Monroe, NC Tuesday, July 30, 1918 Page 1*
