In the Fall of 1835
Hugh Hamer made a trip East to see his family.
He stopped in Georgetown, Ohio, to see his cousin, Thomas L. Hamer, son
of William Hamer. He may have visited
Pennsylvania and New York as well as Ohio.
He wrote a letter to Thomas L. Hamer, his cousin, on returning to
Indiana. He reported that his brothers
were well and the government roads were terrible. His relatives had inquired about Thomas L. Hamer from Hugh when
he visited them. He was sorry he was
not able to return by way of Georgetown.
He was also sorry that his poor grammar had not allowed him to write
more often. He bewailed his Hamer pride
and hoped Thomas L. had conquered this family trait. This letter is in a collection of Thomas L. Hamer correspondence
in the Huntington Library in California.

Fitzpatrick Hamer from her grandson Charles who was living in Kansas. The
birthplace below is listed as New York. This is probably wrong as New York was
made the birthplace of most in the household.

Commercial. July 1915.
Mr. Henry T. Hamer,
son of Hugh and Elizabeth Hamer, born April 7, 1823, at Clifty Mills,
Washington County, Indiana, died July 26, 1915, aged 92 years, 3 months, and 19
days. At an early age his father moved
with his family to the famous Hamer Hollow, east of Mitchell. He remained there as his father's helpmate
until October 10, 1844. At this time he
united in marriage with Mary E. Lemon of Claysville, Indiana. Their early married life was spend in
Claysville, and from there they moved to the Hamer farm east of town. To this union were born five children, three
of whom died in early childhood, and two in early manhood. His wife answered the summons to the better
land, Oct. 13, 1898. At this time they
were in Kansas where they had been for a number of years. He brought her remains here and placed them
in the Hamer Cemetery. He returned to
Kansas for a few years, then returned to Mitchell, making his home with his
brother, George Hamer, until his death.
At an early age Mr. Hamer joined the order of Masons, every principle of which he loved and cherished,
believing: " A True Mason, A True
Christian". He did not unite with
any church until about four years ago when he joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In his illness he gave
evidences of his faith in the true Christ, and many times expressed a desire to
be released of his suffering, for his sympathy so went out to those who cared
for him. He lived to a ripe, old age,
having always been blessed with an active mind and body. He was a member of a family of eight
children, all of whom have preceded him to the grave, except Mrs. Hannah
Burton, his aged and widowed sister, who is in her 91st year. With her he found an open door and made his
home for the past nine years. Besides
her are her three daughters who helped to care for him, during his stay there,
and were present and attentive in his sickness, caring for his many needs. They were assisted by their brother, Mr.
Will Burton and Mrs. Nett Hamer, a daughter in law, who was constantly at his
bedside. He also leaves three nephews and their families, Mr Frank Hamer of
Bedford, Mr Albert and Ralph Hamer of Mitchell, who he loved and cherished and
insisted they remain with him to the last.
There are three grandchildren living, Mr. Von Hamer of St. Louis, and
two grand daughters in the West, and many other relatives and friends join
these in tender sympathy for the life gone out at this matured age. Funeral services were held from the home of
his sister, Mrs. Hannah Burton, Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Ashby of
the Methodist Church, after which the body was placed in the Hamer Graveyard,
east of Mitchell. Mitchell Lodge Number
228 of the F. and A. M. had charge of the burial services.

Claysville,
Indiana November 1, 1843
J.R. Hamer
Dear Sir, I thought it proper to address a few lines
to you as to the respect of going to Salem to school. You can learn as much there as you can at Bloomington or
Greencastle. And you would be nearer home and it would be more satisfactory to
me as you know that I am fondly thine own. And perhaps if you go off far I may
never again see you. But we hope for the better but time flies swiftly and we
know not how long we have to stay with those we hold most near and dear. So
farewell till my next. Please write.
Yours xe, M.E. Lemon

Burial: November 04,
1921, Lawrence County Indiana (Burton Cemetery)
Notes for ALFRED HENRY BURTON:
Tombstone in Burton
Cemetery, Lawrence County, Indiana, reads: Alfred H. Burton, 1816-1911.
William [Burton] was
married, in Ashe County, N.C., to Miss Obedience Reeves, and in 1826 came to
this county, locating on the farm now owned by their son, John W., which they
soon afterward made their home, and where nine of their family of fifteen
children were born. William was one of
the best-known and most prominent of John P. Burton's sons. He was an unswerving Democrat, and
represented Lawrence County in the State Legislature. He assisted in many of the early land surveys, and was a useful
and progressive citizen. He died
September 20, 1846, and his wife July 28, 1853. Several of their children now reside in the county, among whom
are Alfred, Allen C., Eli and John W.
Alfred was born in Ashe County, N.C., September 22, 1816, and came with
his parents to this county in 1826, and in 1842 was married to Miss Hannah
E.,daughter of the late Hugh Hamer. To
them were born eleven children: Hugh
H., Mary E., Caroline O., William, Felix G., Catharine, Alice A., George C.,
Theodosia, Josephine and Oscar J.
Alfred Burton has always followed farming, and is one of the county's
most worthy citizens. Eli, brother of
Alfred, was born in Ashe County, N.C., October 2, 1822; was united in marriage with Miss Sarah
Koons, August 15, 1850. She died June
27, 1877. The following children were
born to them: Henry A. and Nancy J.,
living; Franklin P., Delana, Florence,
Eli G., Laura E., and two infants deceased.
In 1879 Mr. Burton married Mrs. Elizabeth (Brown) Taylor. Mr. Burton owns a good farm and is a
practical and successful farmer and stock-raiser. Allen C. was born in the township in which he now resides,
January 12, 1827, and received the benefits of a common school education. September 10, 1840, he was united in
marriage with Miss Elizabeth Holmes, a native of Lawrence County, and to them
were born four sons: William S., Joseph
R., Zachariah T. and Charles W. Mrs.
Burton died February 3, 1854. Mr.
Burton was united in marriage with Miss Sarah A. Richards, November 16, 1854. She was born in Jackson County, Ind., in
1830. Six children were the fruits of
this union: James B., Alonzo, Sallie O., Indiana, Lydia and Della. Allen C. voted with the Democratic party
until the breaking out of the late war, since which he has voted with and
zealously labored for the success of the Republican party. He has twice appraised the real estate of
Lawrence County, has been one of its Commissioners, and has held other
positions of honor and trust. He has given his children liberal educations, and
has taken an active and leading part in the advancement of all enterprises that
go to build up the country or benefit his fellow-man. He served as Second Lieutenant in Company H, Sixty-seventh
Indiana Volunteer Infantry, in the late war, but after one year of active
service was discharged on account of physical disability. He has always been engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and is one of the county's most progressive and useful citizens.

Williamson, Mr. Amzi L. Monson of Bedford, to Miss Maria L. Hamer, daughter of
Hugh Hamer, esq., of Spring Mill, Lawrence County. "If we were a poet, we should certainly desplay the muses in
congratulating the interesting and accomplished bride and the happy bridgroom
upon the bright prospects before them, but as we deal only in prose, we must
content ourself in the use of plain terms.
The bride and bridegroom have our best wishes for the pleasures of a long
and blissful life, and the wedding party, who we are informed felicitously
enjoyed the festivities of the occasion, we hope may all live a hundred years,
and participate annually in the generous hospitalities of Hugh Hamer and his
household."

Democrat, Bedford,
Ind. 15 April 1898 MITCHELL, APRIL 8, 1898. Mr. and Mrs. George HAMER went to Louisville
yesterday afternoon to attend the funeral of John BLACKWELL, who died in that
city yesterday morning.
GEORGE W. HAMER was
born in Marion Township, Lawrence County, Ind.
His parents were Hugh and Elizabeth (Fitzpatrick) Hamer, the former a
native of New York, the latter of Ohio.
Hugh, as an apprentice to Mr. Hammersley, came to Indiana at an early
day. In 1825 he and his brother, Thomas
L., rented the mill in Marion Township which still bears their name. In 1831 they purchased it, operating it until
about 1849, when Hugh assumed full control, and conducted it until his death, March
10, 1872. While together the brothers
also operated a distillery, which Hugh afterward had charge of. From about 1843
to 1858 the family kept store there.
Hugh Hamer was commissioned Postmaster at Spring Mill (the name of the
postoffice at Hamer's Mill), by President Jackson, and continued in this charge
until the building of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway. He was also County Commissioner. Was elected to the Senate and Lower House of
the State Legislature, being the first Whig ever elected to that body from
Lawrence County. He was a man of great
natural powers of mind. In his family
were eight children. Mrs. Hamer, widow
of Hugh, till survives him, although quite advanced in age. Her parents, Henry and Elizabeth (Johnson)
Fitzpatrick, were natives of Pennsylvania;
came to Bono Township January, 1814. George W. Hamer was reared in his
father's mill and on the farm, receiving such education as the schools of that
early day afforded. When twenty-one
years old he rented the mill and operated it and the distillery for three
years; then moved to the farm where he
now lives, where he has since been engaged in farming. He owns 600 acres of land. In politics he is a Republican. He served seven months in the war in the One
Hundred and Seventeenth Indiana Volunteer infantry, Company H, acting as Wagon
Master. He was married to Miss Priscilla Leach, June 16, 1859. She was born in Lawrence County, September
15, 1843. Their union has been blessed
with six children: James F., Harry C.
(deceased), Minnie M. (deceased), Ida M. (deceased), George A. and Ralph
N. Mr. Hamer is a Mason and is Master
of Lawrenceport Lodge, No. 543, F. & A. M.; and is also a Royal Arch Mason. Data Entry Volunteer: Diana

Commercial. October 1906. Death of Mr. George Hamer.
Mr. George W. Hamer,
who has been sick for something like five years, died at his home near
Rivervale, Oct 8th at 4:30. Mr. Hamer
was an old and respected citizen, having been born in 1837 in Hamer's Hollow,
where now stands the old mill which is one of the oldest buildings in Lawrence
County. This mill was erectd by Hugh
Hamer, his father, in 1819. In 1859 he
was married to Priscilla Leach and this union was blessed with six children,
Minnie, Ida, and Harry, all gone before Frank, Albert, and Ralph, who
survive. Mr. Hamer served as wagon
master of his regiment in the Civil War.
He was a member of the Baptist Church at this place, also a prominent
Mason. Funeral services were conducted
from the home Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Edwards of Bedford, and the remains
put away in the Hamer Cemetery, only a short distance from the place of his
birth, around which he played when a boy, and here grew to manhood. He leaves a wife, three sons, a sister, Mrs.
Hannah Burton, and a brother, Henry, to mourn his death.

married John Nugent in 1870, George Hamer in 1872, then John Miller in 1881.
Laura was in Los
Angeles, California in 1934, according to the reunion minutes, 618 North Wilton
Street, Los Angeles. Her last name was
Miller. Family reunion notes say that
she married John Miller.

Indiana, whither the widow and family will go as soon as business settlements
will permit. Dr. Wm. F. Hamer was 33
years of age. He was born in Lawrence

Mitchell Tribune. April 28, 1934. A brief funeral service was held at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning
at the Hamer Cemetery in Spring Mill State Park for Mrs. Antionette Munson
Hamer, 82, well-known pioneer woman of this community, who passed away early
Tuesday morning at the home of Mr. & Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tulip Street,
Mitchell, after a long period of failing health. The service was conducted by the Rev. O.E. Miller. Burial was
made in the cemetery which is named for family ancestors who played such a
prominent part in the early history of this locality. Mrs. Hamer's health had been impaired for some time, although she
had remained active during most of the time.
She suffered an attack Sunday, and late Monday afternoon a physician
gave her a hypodermic. At 10:30 o'clock
Monday night she appeared to be asleep, resting quietly. She was not disturbed during the remainder
of the night, the family believing that she was sleeping. When an attempt was made to arouse her about
7 o'clock Tuesday morning, it was found that she was dead. It is thought that she quietly passed away
in the late hours of the night. She was
born in April, 1852, to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson, in Mitchell. Her mother was a daughter of Col. and Mrs.
Hugh Hamer, early residents of Spring Mill village. Her father was one of the noted proprietors of the village during
the days of its important activities.
She was married to Dr. Frank Hamer, who for some time was a practicing
physician at Lawrenceport. He later
practiced in another part of the country, and the family then went West. Dr. Hamer died many years ago. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Hamer, a daughter, Stenia, now dead, who was wife of the late John M. Wells,
and a son, Vaughn Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. Mrs. Hamer was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and was active in the affairs of the church. The nearest relatives surviving are two
cousins, J. Frank Hamer of Bedford, and Ralph Hamer of Mitchell.
Bedford Times
Mail. 4-27-1934. Mrs. Antionette Munson Hamer passed away at
midnight last night at the home of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw in Mitchell. While she had been in failing health for
some time she was able to be up and about the home and the attack that carried
her away was sudden. Funeral services
will be held at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning, probably at the Mitchell First
Presbyterian church, in charge of the pastor, Rev. Roth, with burial in the
Hamer Cemetery in the Spring Mill State Park, two miles East of Mitchell. She was identified with the Hamer family,
one of the most prominent pioneer families of the county, being the grand daughter
of the late Col. Hugh Hamer of Spring Mill.
She was born eighty years ago to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson in Mitchell,
the latter of whom was the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Hugh Hamer. In her early womanhood she was married to
Dr. Frank Hamer who preceded her in death many years ago. To them were born two children, Stenia, now
dead, who was the first wife of the late John M. Wells, and a son, Vaughn
Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. She was
very proud of her Hamer lineage and was interested in the traditions of the
families of the Hamer name. She was one of the regular attendants at the Hamer
Family Reunion held on the Sunday preceding Labor Day of each year. She had often made long visits in the home
of her cousin, J. Frank Hamer in this city, and knew many here who will learn
with regret of her passing.
Bedford Times
Mail. 4-28-1934. Funeral Services for Mrs. Antionette Munson
Hamer, widow of the late Dr. Frank Hamer, who was found dead in bed at the home
of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tuesday morning, in Mitchell, were held at the
Clements Funeral Home Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, with the Rev. J.V. Roth,
pastor of the Presbyterian church officiating.
Short services were held at the grave in the old Hamer Cemetery, now in
Spring Mill State Park. Her connection
with the pioneers of that locality was recalled and her fine qualities of
character commented upon. The service
concluded with a prayer, after which the remains were laid away by the side of
her husband who had passed away a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Hamer of this city,
cousins of the deceased, attended the services.

Mitchell Tribune. April 28, 1934. A brief funeral service was held at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning
at the Hamer Cemetery in Spring Mill State Park for Mrs. Antionette Munson
Hamer, 82, well-known pioneer woman of this community, who passed away early
Tuesday morning at the home of Mr. & Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tulip Street,
Mitchell, after a long period of failing health. The service was conducted by the Rev. O.E. Miller. Burial was
made in the cemetery which is named for family ancestors who played such a
prominent part in the early history of this locality. Mrs. Hamer's health had been impaired for some time, although she
had remained active during most of the time.
She suffered an attack Sunday, and late Monday afternoon a physician
gave her a hypodermic. At 10:30 o'clock
Monday night she appeared to be asleep, resting quietly. She was not disturbed during the remainder
of the night, the family believing that she was sleeping. When an attempt was made to arouse her about
7 o'clock Tuesday morning, it was found that she was dead. It is thought that she quietly passed away
in the late hours of the night. She was
born in April, 1852, to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson, in Mitchell. Her mother was a daughter of Col. and Mrs.
Hugh Hamer, early residents of Spring Mill village. Her father was one of the noted proprietors of the village during
the days of its important activities.
She was married to Dr. Frank Hamer, who for some time was a practicing
physician at Lawrenceport. He later
practiced in another part of the country, and the family then went West. Dr. Hamer died many years ago. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Hamer, a daughter, Stenia, now dead, who was wife of the late John M. Wells,
and a son, Vaughn Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. Mrs. Hamer was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and was active in the affairs of the church. The nearest relatives surviving are two
cousins, J. Frank Hamer of Bedford, and Ralph Hamer of Mitchell.
Bedford Times
Mail. 4-27-1934. Mrs. Antionette Munson Hamer passed away at
midnight last night at the home of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw in Mitchell. While she had been in failing health for
some time she was able to be up and about the home and the attack that carried
her away was sudden. Funeral services
will be held at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning, probably at the Mitchell First
Presbyterian church, in charge of the pastor, Rev. Roth, with burial in the
Hamer Cemetery in the Spring Mill State Park, two miles East of Mitchell. She was identified with the Hamer family,
one of the most prominent pioneer families of the county, being the grand daughter
of the late Col. Hugh Hamer of Spring Mill.
She was born eighty years ago to Mr. and Mrs. Amzi Munson in Mitchell,
the latter of whom was the daughter of Col. and Mrs. Hugh Hamer. In her early womanhood she was married to
Dr. Frank Hamer who preceded her in death many years ago. To them were born two children, Stenia, now
dead, who was the first wife of the late John M. Wells, and a son, Vaughn
Hamer, who lives in Tennessee. She was
very proud of her Hamer lineage and was interested in the traditions of the
families of the Hamer name. She was one of the regular attendants at the Hamer
Family Reunion held on the Sunday preceding Labor Day of each year. She had often made long visits in the home
of her cousin, J. Frank Hamer in this city, and knew many here who will learn
with regret of her passing.
Bedford Times
Mail. 4-28-1934. Funeral Services for Mrs. Antionette Munson
Hamer, widow of the late Dr. Frank Hamer, who was found dead in bed at the home
of her niece, Mrs. John Hinshaw, Tuesday morning, in Mitchell, were held at the
Clements Funeral Home Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, with the Rev. J.V. Roth,
pastor of the Presbyterian church officiating.
Short services were held at the grave in the old Hamer Cemetery, now in
Spring Mill State Park. Her connection
with the pioneers of that locality was recalled and her fine qualities of
character commented upon. The service
concluded with a prayer, after which the remains were laid away by the side of
her husband who had passed away a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Hamer of this city,
cousins of the deceased, attended the services.

Indiana, whither the widow and family will go as soon as business settlements
will permit. Dr. Wm. F. Hamer was 33
years of age. He was born in Lawrence
County, Indiana. Thirteen years ago he
married Miss Laura A. Munson, and by her had five children, three of whom are
dead. He graduated in medicine at a

of medicine a little over two years ago.
He had acquired an excellent and a growing practice, and was a worthy
gentleman. Dr. Hamer was medical examiner for the Kansas Mutual, in which
company he held an insurance of $3,000.

Bowen History of
Lawrence and Monroe Counties, Indiana.
Indianapolis : B.F. Bowen, 1914pp 721-723. G. Albert Hamer. G.
Albert Hamer, who was born in Marion township, Lawrence County, Indiana, near
Mitchell, on April 23, 1870, is a descendant of one of the sterling old
pioneers of Lawrence county. His
paternal grandfather, Hugh Hamer, was one of the early settlers here and a
prominent man in the life of the community in his day. The old Hamer mill near Mitchell, which he
built in 1818, is now one of the historical landmarks of Lawrence county. Hugh Hamer was a native of New York state
and married Elizabeth Fitzpatrick in the state of old Virginia, to which union
were born eight children. The
grandfather died in 1873 and his wife is also deceased. Hugh Hamer was a noted man in local
political circles in the early days of this community and served two terms as
representative to the lower house of the legislature for his district and two
terms in the state senate with honor and credit to his locality. He was also a member of the board of county
commissioners, and in many other ways evidenced a live interest in the progress
and advancement of his community. The
parents of G. Albert Hamer were George W. and Priscilla (Leach) Hamer, both of
whom were natives of Lawrence county.
The father was a farmer during all his active years and owned a splendid
old homestead in Marion township, where his widow now resides, his death having
occured on October 1, 1904. To George
and Priscilla Hamer were born six children, three of whom are living, namely:
Frank, of Bedford; the subject of this sketch, and Ralph N., who resides on the
old home place in Marion township. G.
Albert Hamer was reared on the home farm in Marion township, receiving his elementary education in the
public schools of the community and completing his studies in the Southern
Indiana Normal College at Mitchell. He
then engaged in the hardware business in the latter place for three years, but
at the end of that period sold out and returned to the farm, following the
vocation of agriculture continuously up to 1911, when he assumed the office of
county assessor, to which he had been elected in 1910 on the Republican
ticket. The office is a four year term,
therefore he will serve until 1915. He
is a man of good qualifications for the office which he holds, being a splendid
judge of actual real estate values and is discharging his duties to the entire
satisfaction of his fellow citizens. He
still owns his home farm and makes farming his principal vocation. He takes a deep interest in all agricultural
affairs and has served for two years as chairman of the Farmers Institute of
Lawrence County, and has been in many ways connected with farming interests all
his life. Politically, he is, as has
been stated, a Republican, while his fraternal affiliations are with the Free
and Accepted Masons, he holding membership in Michtell Lodge No. 128.
Religiously, he is a member of the Baptist Church, to which he gives a liberal
support. On September 23, 1895, Mr.
Hamer married Alma E. Palmer, the daugher of Mason Palmer, of Daviess County,
Indiana, and to them have been born four children, Frank V., Georgia A., John
N., and Priscilla H. As a farmer Mr.
Hamer is held in hight esteem by his fellow agriculturists because of his up to
date methods and the consistent success with which he operated his place. He is the owner of one of the best farms in
Marion township and has so skillfully rotated his crops as to preserve the
strength of the soil and his land is productive as any in the locality where he
resides, no farm in the county being looked after with greater care. He has long taken an active interest in
public affairs and has performed his full part as a public spirited citizen, in
his official capacity using the same sound judgment and good business principles
that he exercised in his own personal affairs.
Owing to his loyalty to his county, his scrupulously honest dealings
with his fellow men and his splendid personal character Mr. Hamer has won the
undivided respect and estreem of all who know him and is regarded by all as
among the best and most influential citizens of his county.

26. FRANK VESTAL6 HAMER (GEORGE ALBERT5, GEORGE WASHINGTON4, HUGH3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born July 19, 1896 in Mitchell, Lawrence County,
Indiana, and died October 02, 1993 in Mitchell, Lawrence County, Indiana. He married JOSEPHINE MARLEY April 02,
1920 in Lawrence County , Indiana. She
was born July 19, 1895 in Indiana, and died January 19, 1978 in Orange County,
Indiana.
Notes for FRANK VESTAL HAMER:
Life-long Mitchell
friends active despite their ages, by Wanda G. Williams, Times-Mail Staff
Writer. Two Mitchell area men who have been friends since boyhood are not about
to let age interfere with their activities.
Harry Smith who celebrated his 98th birthday Friday, July 31, still goes
barefoot like a boy as he hoes in his garden almost every day. Frank Hamer celebrated his 90th birthday
recently by going ice skating at a rink near the St. Louis residence of his
daughter, Nancy Lich. He recalls
learning to skate and cut figures in the ice on the pond when he was a boy
growing up on a farm in the White River bottoms northeast of Mitchell. Harry remembers Frank as a little fella in
knee britches the first time he saw him.
The two have been friends ever since.
The son of Albert and Alma Palmer Hamer, Frank was born July 19, 1896 in
the homestead of his grandparents, the George Washington Hamers. He is the
great grandson of Hugh and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Hamer, who once owned Spring
Mill Village. Harry, the eldest son of Thomas S. and Sarah Russell Smith, move
in 1906 with his family from Washington County to the Lawrenceport area, across
the creek from the Hamers. Although
they worked hard on their farms, the Hamers, Smiths and other area farm
families took time for fun. Saturday
night square dances found Frank dancing while Harry played the fiddle. "I've been able to go without sleep all
my life. I remember working hard all
day in the field and playing half the night at a square dance. Some nights when I'd go hunting I didn't
even go to bed. I still stay up all
night sometimes", Harry declared with a grin. As former next-door
neighbors Frank and Harry recall several humorous incidents that occurred as
they swapped farm work. One such
occurrence was when a bull they were transporting jumped out of the truck, and
it feet cleared their heads by only inches.
Frank, who spent a year in France during WWI, now serves as Commander of
World War I Barracks 533, and is a 60 year member of the American Legion post
in Orleans. He and his late wife,
Josephine, lost a son, Frank Lev Hamer, killed when his bomber was shot down
over Austria in WWII. When, at age 33,
Harry married Mary Beasley, he had already satisfied his wanderlust by riding
the rails through much of the country and working on a dredge boat in Iowa and
a wheat ranch in Montana. Smith
eventually bought the Hamer homestead and added it to his holdings for a total
of some 1,500 acres. He remembers using
12 head of work horses and hired hands he paid 50 cents a day during the
depression, and utilizing the strength of his sons, Russell and Harry Wayne,
working daylight to dark, to expand his holdings. He added a farm at the birth of each of his five children,
including daughters, Lois, Priscilla, and Joan. Smith believes that he and his friend, Frank are living proof
that hard work never killed anybody.
Times-Mail, Bedford, Indiana, Friday, August 1, 1986.
Mitchell Tribune. October 1993. Frank V. Hamer, 97, a civic
leader and descendant of a pioneer family from the village at Spring Mill, who
was instrumental in the renovation and preservation of the Hamer Cemetery in
the Spring Mill State Park, died at 11:05p.m. Saturday, October 2, at Mitchell
Manor Nursing Home. He will be buried
in the family cemetery at the park.
Born July 19, 1896, in Mitchell, he was the son of Albert and Alma
Palmer Hamer. He married Josephine
Marley, April 2, 1920, and she died January 19, 1978. He was a member of the First Baptist Church, had served as
president of the Orleans Town and Township School Board, and served 12 years on
the Lawrence County Draft Board. He
helped organize the Lawrence County Soil and Water District, and served as
secretary, and later chairman of the board.
He was also a member of the Mitchell Masonic Lodge #228 F.&A.M. He served in the U.S. Army during World War
I and was a member of the Warren Brock American Legion Post 69 at Orleans. He
was also a member of the WWI Barracks #533 in Lawrence County. He was a retired farmer and early in life
had been employed at Lehigh Portland Cement Company. He was a member of the Lawrence County Farm Bureau. He and his wife had been active in square
dancing and served as presidents of the Spring Mill Squares during the
1950's. They attended several square
dance conventions, and also danced in eshibitions with other Mitchell
couples. He was an enthusiastic ice
skater and continued to skate on his birthday each year until he was well into
his nineties. Surviving is one daughter, Nancy Jane Lich of St. Louis, MO; one
grandson; tow great grandsons; and two sisters, Priscilla Knight, and Georgia
Wilcox, both of Mitchell. He was
preceded in death by one son, F. Lev Hamer, one grandson, and one brother, John
Hamer. Funeral services will be
conducted at 10:30 a.m. today, Wednesday, in the Memorial Chapel of the
Chastain Funeral Home with Revs. Tom Fuller and Glenn Hamer officiating. Burial will be in the historic Hamer
Cemetery at Spring Mill with last military rites accorded at the grave by the

Notes for FRANK LEV HAMER:
Mitchell Tribune. May 21, 1944. Lt. Frank L. Hamer Killed in Action.
Mr. & Mrs. Frank V.
Hamer, near Orleans, received a telegram late Wednesday from the War Department
saying that their son, Lt. Frank Lev Hamer, 21, pilot in the Army Air Corps.
was killed in action over Austria, May 10.
This was just after Lt. Hamer had written a letter, dated May 9, telling
his parents that he had completed his 35th mission, and that he was hoping and
expecting to come home in July. Lt.
Hamer, who had been in the service about two years, was at home on a short
visit last August. He completed his
training as a bomber pilot a few weeks later, and on November 30 he flew over
his home at the start of the trip overseas with his crew. He dropped a package with a few of his
personal belongings, then came on over Mitchell, and was on his way to a base
in Italy. He had been on long and
strenuous air service in the Mediterranean area, and in the letter of May 9 he
said his crew was hoping for an opportunity to go to the Isle of Capri for a
little rest. He indicated however that the chief desire was to complete 50
missions and then come home for a real rest.
He had received citations for his service as a pilot, but had not given
details in his letters. Lt. Hamer was
born in Mitchell. The family later
moved to a place east of Lawrenceport, and he attended school at
Tunnelton. Still later the family moved
to the present home near Orleans, and Lev was graduated from Orleans High
School. He then attended Purdue
University for one year before entering the service. He was known as a very capable young man with pleasing
personality, and his many friends and relatives throughout this locality were
deeply touched by the news of his passing.
Family survivors are the parents, one sister, Miss Nancy Hamer, now in
government service at Washington, D.C.; the paternal grandmother, Mrs. Alma
Hamer of Brownstown; the maternal grandfather, Roll Marley of Orleans; three
uncles: John Hamer of Brownstown; Charles Marley of Seymour, and Walter Marley
of Evansville; three aunts: Mrs. Priscilla Hinshaw of New Castle; Mrs. Georgia
Wilcox of Tunnelton; and Mrs Noble Fidler of Orleans.
Military record: 725
AAF Bomber Squad; killed in action.
Buried in Europe, then returned to Lawrence County, Indiana.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank V.
Hamer, who recently moved to Mitchell from the R.C. Jenkins farm north of Orleans,
have been notified that the body of their son, Lt. Lev Hamer, is en route from
Italy to the U.S. for burial. Lt. Hamer, an air force pilot, was killed May 10,
1944, on his 36th mission over Austria.

July 16, 1999 Descendants_of mill owners return to park By
ROGER MOON, Times-Mail News Editor
MITCHELL -- They come
from cities around the country to get together once a year for a family
reunion. Such gatherings are about food, fellowship, reminiscing and learning
babies' names. But, for descendants of Hugh Hamer, gathered this weekend at
Spring Mill State Park, the annual reunion has been about something else -
work. But that four-letter word isn't scaring away the estimated 50 people this
year's reunion attracted. The Hamer family is building a shelter at Hamer
Cemetery inside the park. "It's been as much fun as everything we do
together," said Georgia Lucas of Atlanta, Ga. "We're a very close
family." In the way of a quick history lesson, Hugh Hamer and his brother
Thomas, back around 1832, had become the owners of the village and grist mill
at Spring Mill. Hugh set aside a tract of land to be used for the burial of
those people who lived and died in the area. These days, the cemetery is only
for the descendants of those who were buried there in those earlier times.
Those descendants include Lucas, as well as her siblings: John
"Butch" Hamer of St. Louis, Doris Hamer of Tucson, Ariz., Jackie
Childers of Bedford and Helen Lahrman of Brownstown. Hugh Hamer was their great
great grandfather. All of them, along with their children and grandchildren are
spending the weekend at Spring Mill, putting the finishing touches on the
cemetery's new shelter and looking toward a Sunday dedication ceremony at the
cemetery where many of the family say they, too, will one day be buried.
The group used to
gather at the home of their parents, John Sr. and Lottie, near Brownstown. But
their father died and their mother's health declined, so they began gathering
in Kentucky. This year, however, the reunion returned to Indiana. Childers
said, "I thought for the last reunion of the century, we should go back to
our roots and let our children and grandchildren know where we
originated." Then, too, there was the other reason to bring the family to
Spring Mill - the shelter. John estimated that 500 to 600 hours have gone into
the work, and there were occasions when as many as a dozen family members were
working on it at once. No electricity is available at the cemetery, so they've
been doing much of the work with hand tools. When John Hamer Sr. died, his
children established a memorial fund. They hadn't decided on a use for the
money, but they knew their father and their uncle, Frank Hamer, had been very
interested in the cemetery and its maintenance. Then Priscilla Knight of
Mitchell, a sister to John Sr. and Frank, came up with the idea of building a
shelter at the cemetery. John Jr. said, "It was really her idea to have a
spot, that whenever she went out there to visit, to have a cool spot to sit
down and rest and contemplate things." Priscilla's nieces and nephews,
including Frank's daughter, bought into the idea, and John Jr., who works as an
engineer, used his computer to design the structure. Spring Mill property
manager Mark Young said the family requested permission from the Division of
State Parks and Reservoir Management to build the shelter. The approval was
granted with the stipulation that the Hamer family provide all the materials
and do all the construction themselves. Young said the state is responsible for
general maintenance at the cemetery. The responsibility was transferred from
the Hamer Cemetery Association to the state in 1933. He said the association
had lost some cemetery records in a fire. "The cemetery is still
active," Young said, "but you have to be a direct descendant of the
Hamers or one of the other families (already there) to be buried there."
The park, in 1987-88, did an inventory of burials at the cemetery, using any
still-legible information that was on headstones. A complete inventory is
difficult to achieve. "We suspect there were burial sites where people
just used wood for the headstones," Young said. "We suspect the
cemetery may be fuller than what it looks like." The park has applied for
grant money that would allow the use of new technology to assist with a survey
of burial sites. The procedure is non-invasive, according to Young, who said
the technologies will utilize shock waves to determine whether the soil had
ever been disturbed in certain areas. "We're fairly confident we're going
to be getting the funds," Young said.

Times-Mail Reunion main story By MARY G. JOHNSON Hamer Family. While the Quinn reunion was under way, the Hamer
family was holding a reunion in Spring Mill's Donaldson Shelter House.
Priscilla Hamer Knight, 89, one of the oldest members of the Hamer clan, wasn't
feeling well enough to make it. She is the great-granddaughter of Hugh Hamer,
who operated the mill at Spring Mill until his death in 1872. When she goes to
the reunion and looks around remembering those who used to be there and have
died, she thinks, "Gee, of this generation, I'm it." At the other end
of the age spectrum, Corey Hamer spent time at the family reunion blowing
bubbles. Corey will be 2 in August. Priscilla knows the family history. Corey
doesn't even fully understand what a family is, let alone a family reunion. By
the time he is interested in learning about his ancestors and getting
acquainted with his kin, Priscilla will have joined the other Hamers in the
Hamer family cemetery at the park. It will be up to the rest of the clan to
share the family stories with him...

Reunion main story
By MARY G. JOHNSON
Hamer Family
While the Quinn
reunion was under way, the Hamer family was holding a reunion in Spring Mill's
Donaldson Shelter House...."I guess the older we get the more we cherish
our heritage." said George Wilcox, 72, R.2, Mitchell, great-great-grandson
of Hugh Hamer, who remembers coming to Hamer reunions when he was a boy. In
those days Wilcox and the other younger Hamers would explore the park after
dinner instead of listening to the old stories. And that hasn't changed.
Following dinner at the 1997 Hamer reunion, younger family members went off to
explore Donaldson Cave. The older ones sat and talked, looked over a long chart
showing all the different branches of the family, held a business meeting to
elect officers, then a white elephant sale to raise money for the next reunion
and a memorial service.
Children of GEORGE WILCOX and JANE BARETTA are:
47. i. SANDRA LEE8 WILCOX, b. August
