Hamilton brothers settle in Coudersport, PA
Posted 07 Dec 2020 by hamilton1948
Delbert B. Hamilton was most likely the first Hamilton brother to move to Coudersport, Potter Co., PA. In 1935, Delbert Hamilton, age 33, was living in Coudersport with his wife Hattie Gail, 32, and two sons Delbert E., 4, and Johnny R., 8/12 (1 Apr 1940 US Census). Luella Mae Mitchell Hamilton, my mother, once said she thought Delbert moved to Coudersport to work for a gas company.
Delbert did not stay in Coudersport. In 1940, he was living with his family in Apollo, Armstrong Co., PA, and he was working as a laborer for a gas company (1940 US Census). Three of his younger brothers did settle in Coudersport.
Jake Hamilton, my father, was probably next; he moved to Coudersport about 1936 probably looking for work (Luella Mae Mitchell Hamilton). From 1936 to 1939, he was working as a truck driver hauling pipe for New York State Natural Gas Co., according to his US Marine Corps personnel file. The personnel documents also show that Jake went to work in 1939 for Abbotts Dairys, Coudersport.
Jake participated in the youth group at the Free Methodist Church on North Main Street, Coudersport, and perhaps he also attended services. Church members included the families of Walter Lattin Sr. and Irene Marvin Lattin, who lived on North Main St., and Carl and Ettabell Thompson Mitchell, who lived on Ross Glen Road. The children of the two families also participated in the youth group.
Jake married Dorothy May "Dot" Lattin on 30 Nov 1938. He was about 19 and she was about 16. Dorothy was the daughter of Walter and Irene. Jake and Dorothy had one daughter born in 1941. Dorothy died 6 Apr 1943.
Harry Kimble "Johnny" Hamilton followed Jake to Coudersport. In 1929, he married Nellie Hazel Kennedy in West Virginia. Kimble was 18, Hazel was 14 (WV Marriages Index and 1 Apr 1930 US Census). In 1930, the couple had a 6-month-old daughter Madalin, and the family was living in the home of Hazel's parents (1930 US Census).
In 1935, Harry K. Hamilton was living in rural Monongalia County, WV (1940 US Census). In 1937, Kimble and Hazel had a stillborn child Harry Stanley Hamilton.
In 1939, Harry K. "Johnny" Hamilton was working on the farm owned by Leigh N. and Mildred V. Cheverton Neefe on Sweden Hill, near Coudersport. That could have been a part-time job.
In 1940, Harry K. Hamilton, 28, was lodging in the home of Walter and Irene Lattin in Coudesport. He was working as a beater in a paper mill and he was still married (1940 US Census). He was divorced, very likely in the early 1940s and he began dating Luella Mae Mitchell. She was a daughter of Carl and Ettabell Mitchell. Later Harry K. dated Marjorie A. Jones, and they married 26 Dec 1942 (her obituary). They had five children.
Sometime after Jake's wife died, Jake began dating Luella. Jake was drafted, and, on 1 Jun 1944, he enlisted in the US Marines for the "duration plus six months" at Buffalo, NY. Jake and Luella married 14 Oct 1944 in Jacksonville, NC. Luella was still there about a week later when Jake's unit marched out of Camp Lejeune. The Marines didn't know it at the time, but they were on their way to the Battle of Iwo Jima. Luella returned to her war job in Emporium, PA.
Jake was wounded 25 Feb 1945 during the Battle of Iwo Jima. The wound was not serious -- he was out of action for 10 days and returned to the battle. After he was discharged on 22 Feb 1946, Jake returned to civilian life in Coudersport. Jake and Luella had two sons.
After the war, Army combat veteran Marshall Hamilton followed his brothers to Coudersport. Luella said at first Marshall lived with Jake and Luella. On 25 Dec 1946, Marshall married war verteran Kathleen June Haskins (her obituary) in Olean, NY (affidavit with June's application for Pennsylvania veteran's benefits). Marshall and June had four children. June died 24 May 1972 at age 48 after a year-long illness. Marshall married Josephine D. Kennedy on 31 Jan 1973 in Virginia (his obituary).
Jake died 6 Feb 1954 at age 35, and Luella died 7 Aug 2010 at 92.
Harry K. died 6 Nov 1967 at 52, and Marjorie died 5 Mar 2007 at 85.
Marshall died 13 Dec 1991 at 67.
Most of the 14 children of the three brothers settled in the Coudersport area.
Hazel remarried. She died 20 Nov 1998. Her daughter Madalin died in 1988.
