Her body was returned to WI and buried next to her husband in King, WI at the WI Vet. Home cemetery. The 1920 Census in Oregon finds Sarah with another last name so it appears she re-married but was a widow again as she lived with one of her children
• Gravestone of James S. Hamilton 1814-1887 (20 KB)
  James is buried in Omro (WI) Cemetery which is south of Omro out in the country. An etching of this headstone was taken as the wording is not visible to be read. Mehitable paid an 'upkeep' fee on this grave site until her death October 1925. Records show that James bought 4 buriel plots and although no headstones appear on two other plots it is believed that Hannah Dore Hamilton, James' mom is buried in one area and a Sumner Hamilton in the other. The records state "Mrs. James Hamilton" but it is known that Emilene died in Maine before James came to Omro.

• WHO are Hannah Doore's PARENTS..... (3 KB)
  AND the ANSWER is in MARCH as OF 2004: JOSEPH and PATIENCE HUSSEY DORE. In 1816 in a RIPLEY Elijah Hamilton JR. Family town record it says Elijah married Hannah Dore whose parents WERE JOSEPH and PATIENCE DORE. Indeed it was in Lyman that Joseph Door married Patience Hussey which is: In Lyman that Joseph Door married Patience Hussey; married by Rev Isaac Hasey 16 Apr 1775. Town Records 1: Town Records of Births/Marriages, page 118. THUS the information found in the ATHENS, MAINE HISTORY is incorrect where it says: The first member of the Dore family to come to Athens was Joseph b. 1749. His wife was Phoebe Lord, b. 1750. He settled in the northeast part of the town. Their children were: Samuel, John, Phoebe, Lydia, Betsey, and Hannah. Hannah Dore Hamilton's death information registered in Haverhill, Maine states her parents were Joseph and Patience Dore.

• Sumner Hamilton B: August 31, 1817 D: bef. 1840 (1 KB)
  Sumner Hamilton has been very difficult to track. IN 2002 I received a typed copy of the partial diary of Samuel Hart Hamilton B: 8-7-1837 in Somerset or Piscataquis Co Maine and died in about 1919 in Todd Co. Minnesota. In these diaries, Samuel states that "Sumner was a physician and died 'making a blast' while in Connecticut". Sumner does not show up in any censuses. Could he have died between 1830-1840. Could he be the Sumner Hamilton married to a Caroline Noble of Connecticut BUT she was born in 1803 so would have been 14 years older. This Caroline married in 1844 a Charles Potter.
