W. H. Hamilton was born August 21, 1841, in Darke County, Ohio, and was brought up on the paternal farm. Here he remained until twenty-one years of age, when he enlisted in the 110th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in the 6th army corps, under General Slocum, serving in Maryland and Virginia, being discharged under surgeon’s certificate, in 1863. He then followed milling and engineering for five years, and found his way to Creston, February, 1872.

He served as City Marshal, in 1874, then went into the land business and in 1876, was again appointed City Marshal and Street Commissioner, which positions he still holds, and, it is but just to say, does his duty in an upright, gentlemanly and satisfactory manner.

Mr. H. was married 6th October, 1864, to Miss Isabel Doyle, of Preble County, Ohio.
