DIANTHA (SMITH) HAMILTON cemetery 89A DEATH OF MRS. DIANTHA HAMILTON As we are about to go to press we are informed of the death of Mrs. Diantha Hamilton, one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. While Mrs. Hamilton has been in failing health for several months the tender devotion and care of the family together with her remarkable vitality, has lessened the anxiety of her many friends causing her death to come with sudden realization of the loss of one who has meant much to our community. Mrs. Hamilton was a daughter of Hezekiah Huntington Smith who came to Two Rivers from Youngstown, Niagara County, N.Y. in 1846. She was born at Youngstown July 29, 1830. After coming west with her family she resided for a time in Milwaukee, attending the old Milwaukee College, joining her family at Two Rivers in 1846. At that time Two Rivers was a mere frontier settlement consisting of a few log houses located in a small clearing in the dense forest. She was married at Two Rivers, December 23, 1849 to Henry C. Hamilton who has also come here from Niagara County, New York. Four children were born of this union, all living today, J.E. and H.P. of this city George D. Hamilton of Detroit, Minn., and Mrs. J.L. Moore of Atlanta, Ga. At the outbreak of the Civil War her husband enlisted as Quarter-master of the 21st. Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. On April 4, 1864 he died at Nashville, Tenn. Altho for fifty years the widow of a soldier and officer in the Civil War, Mrs. Hamilton never received a pension. Left without means upon the death of her husband with four small children, the youngest a baby she managed to support herself and children until they could provide for themselves. She endured privations with fortitude and in her later years lived to enjoy some of the comforts of life. Among the many services she and her family have rendered this city and community, she held the distinction of having taught the first school in Two Rivers and her pupils were some of the pioneers who helped to develop the community. Measuring her life with its far reaching influence, we are unable to express the full significance of her service. Her father, husband, children and grandchildren have had a leading part in the development of Two Rivers and she lived more than four score years, a witness to all changes that have taken place. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that the people of this community extend deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the family in bereavement. Funeral services will be held from Grace Church, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 Rev. Morris officiating. Two Rivers Reporter, Saturday, Dec. 13, 1913:

GORDON HAMMEL cemetery #40 Young Liberty Farmer Killed By Electricity Fence Charged With 7,200 Volts Touched By Gordon Hammel Gordon C. Hammel, 23-year-old town of Liberty farm youth was electrocuted Wednesday afternoon when he came in contact with a highly charged electric fence on the Arnold Rusch farm four miles west of English lake where he was employed. Hammel, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hammel, route 1, Manitowoc, along with Raymond Rusch, 13, a son of his employer, had been repairing the single strand electric fence about three-fourths of a mile east of the farm home during the morning hours. The fence normally carries six volts of electricity. After eating their noon meal at the Rusch home the pair returned to their work shortly after 2 o'clock. However, during the noon hour a high wind had blown a tree down along the town road some distance from the point where the accident occurred. The tree, water soaked from rain, had fallen across high tension wires and also contacted the fence below, charging the strand with 7,200 volts. Inhalator Used It is believed that Hammel, in crawling over the fence, touched the wire with his leg and was killed instantly as the electricity, passing down through the tree, entered his body. Young Rusch grabbed him by the clothing but also received a slight charge and could not free Hammel. The boy then ran to his home and returned with his father, who removed the unconscious form from the wire with a dry pole. A call was put in for the Meihsner ambulance here and before leaving the city, Clarence Meihsner said he radioed the sheriff's office to send the county's inhalator to the scene of the accident. Radio operator Walter Blesemeyer and traffic officer John Meneau left immediately with that equipment. Arriving at the side of the unconscious Hammel about 10 minutes before the county officers, Meihsner and his assistant, Don Waak, applied artificial respiration until the inhalator was brought out. The officers administered oxygen for nearly an hour but were unable to revive the youth. Third This Year Coroner Theodore Teitgen was called and pronounced Hammel dead. He said it is probable that death occurred the moment his body came in contact with the fence. No inquest will be held. The electrocution was the third in Manitowoc county this year. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Berge funeral home in Valders and at 3:30 at the Trinity Lutheran church in Liberty with the Rev. Albert Geiger officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Star Athlete Born on his parents' farm in the town of Liberty in 1924, Gordon graduated from Valders high school with the class of 1943. He was a member of the football and track teams and captain of the latter squad in his senior year. A pitcher for the Collins softball team, he was recognized as one of the better hurlers in Manitowoc county rural softball circles.
