HAMILTON, J. A.

THE FUNERAL HELD HERE

Body Will Arrive This Afternoon

and Funeral Held Tomorrow Morning.

J. A. Hamilton, well known throughout this county and a resident of Alamance county and Burlington for many years, died at his home at Mount Ulla, in Rowan county, last night, and the remains will be brought to Burlington for burial.  The body will arrive in Burlington this afternoon on train No. 22 and the funeral will be conducted from the Presbyterian church tomorrow at 10 o'clock. The interment will be in Pine Hill cemetery.

The deceased was 80 years of age and leaves a wife, and one daughter and one sister.  He was born in this county near Mebane and was sheriff of the county for eight years, being elected in 1888.  For many years he was connected with the Carolina Cotton Mills, later moving to Burlington, where for 20 years he was vice-president of the Elmira Cotton mills and was connected with this mill until he purchased a farm in Rowan county and moved to that place in 1917, where he has lived since.

"Sheriff" Hamilton, as he was familiarly known throughout our county, was an old Confederate soldier with an honorable record; he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and an elder, and was always faithful to his church and to the of  his church.

He was a member of the Burlington Presbyterian church, never having moved his membership.  He was well known throughout this county and had a host of friends who will be grieved to hear of his death.
