Judge Basil Hamilton, the Kalamazoo Christian, has just died at the advanced age of 103 years, preserving his faunltes clear to the last. He was of a family of twenty three children. Six of his elder brothers fought the british under the leadership of Washington. The old gentleman himself had known the Father of his Country, had voted for his second term, and had voted for every President ever since. He was married at 19, in the year 1790, eloping with a girl of 16, with whom he lived until the year 1857. They were man and wife for sixty seven years. During these years of uninterrupted happiness they had seventeen children, of whom eight are still living. There are also eighty one grandchildren and a number of great grandchildren. As nearly as can be estimated the fruit of the clandestine union of Basil Hamilton and Martha Stillwell was 220 souls. Born March 15, 1771, he was older than the republic. Washington was farming at Mount Vernon; Jefferson was 28 years of age; George III was on the English throne; Nelson was a midshipman; The future Duke of Willington was a baby in arms; Robert Burns was a school boy; Walter and Scott Murst were not born; Mary Antonia, at 16, was barely foreshadowing that exquisite beauty which was one of the agents preparing for the overthrow of the old regime; Napoleon was in infant, and Infayette was studying in Paris.
