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.

This could be William Francis Hamer, son of Henry Thomas Hamer.  He later married Laura Antinette Munson.  It is uncertain who this Charles Hamer is.  He is mentioned in a letter to Hannah 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.

Mitchell 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.

Letter to Johnson R. Hamer from Mary Ellen Lemon in possession of Mary Catherine Evans McMullen:

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

She united with the Presbyterian church at Lawrenceport in 1856, and was highly esteemed by all who knew her.  Her death, by diabetes, occurred at Ottawa, Kansas, October 13, 1898, at age of 73 years, 8 months, and 3 days.  Her body was brought to Mitchell and buried in the Hamer graveyard, October 15, 1898.  Funeral sermon was by Rev. Applegate.  Mr. Hamer who is a brother of George W. Hamer, Mrs. Elijah Evans, and Mrs. Alfred Burton, has the deepest sympathy of the community in his great loss. [Mrs. Elijah Evans (Angeline Hamer) was a double cousin of Henry T. Hamer, not a sister as the obituary says.]

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.

Married.  On Thursday the 10th inst., by Rev. J.W. 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."

       

Child of MARIA HAMER and AMZI MUNSON is:

14.              i.    LAURA ANTINETTE5 MUNSON, b. April 05, 1852, Lawrence County , Indiana; d. April 26, 1934, Lawrence County , Indiana.

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.

Mitchell 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.

Notes for LAURA JOSEPHINE TANNEHILL:

There is a student at Lawrence County High School (Bedford) in 1858-1859 named M. Woods.  Also students named: L. Tannehill and J. Nugent. Tannehill was from Avoca; Nugent and Woods from Woodville.  This may be Minerva Wood, Laura Tannehill, and John Nugent.  It seems that Laura 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.

10.  WILLIAM FRANCIS5 HAMER (HENRY THOMAS4, HUGH3, THOMAS2, THOMAS1) was born April 16, 1851 in Lawrence County , Indiana, and died January 08, 1884 in Ottawa, Franklin County, Kansas.  He married LAURA ANTINETTE MUNSON May 20, 1871 in Lawrence County , Indiana, daughter of AMZI MUNSON and MARIA HAMER.  She was born April 05, 1852 in Lawrence County , Indiana, and died April 26, 1934 in Lawrence County , Indiana.

 

Notes for WILLIAM FRANCIS HAMER:

Tombstone reads: W.F. Hamer, b Apr 6, 1851, d Jan 8, 1884. Lawrence County Database mistakenly says 1861 for birth; the stone shows 1851. Has Masonic emblem on tombstone.

 

Ottawa Journal Tribune.  Ottawa Kansas.  October 20, 1881.

Dr. W.F. Hamar, of Lawrence County, Indiana, and son of H.T. Hamer, of this city, has rented office room in Burton block and permanently located here.  The doctor is a graduate of Louisville Medical College, and has been in active practice twelve years.  He is a valuable addition to our medical society, and we gladly welcome him to our county.

 

Ottawa Daily Republican.  Ottawa Kansas.  Monday, January 7, 1884.

Dr Hamer is very dangerously ill; yesterday his life was dispaired of. Today he is somewhat improved.  He is suffering from nervous prostration.

 

Ottawa Daily Republican.  Ottawa Kansas.  Tuesday, January 8, 1884.

Dr. Hamer's condition was not improved today.  He is still in a very critical condition.

 

Ottawa Daily Republican.  Ottawa Kansas.  Wednesday, January 9, 1884.

Death of Dr. Hamer.  Remains to be Taken to Indiana.  Yesterday forenoon it was thought by the anxious friends about Dr Hamer's bedside that his condition was improved, but toward evening his symptoms becoame worse; and all hope was lost.  At about 8:30 he died.  The remains will be taken to his old home in 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 Medical College in Louisville, Ky., about 12 years ago.  He removed to Ottawa, and began the practice 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.

 

Ottawa Journal & Triumph.  Ottawa Kansas.  January 10, 1884.

Died, Tuesday evening, Jan. 8th, of nervous prostration, Dr. W.F. Hamer, aged 32 years.  Dr. Hamer came here two years ago from Mitchell, Indiana, and had built up a large practice.  The body was sent to his former home today for burial.  He leaves a wife and two children.

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.

Ottawa Daily Republican.  Ottawa Kansas.  Wednesday, January 9, 1884.

Death of Dr. Hamer.  Remains to be Taken to Indiana.  Yesterday forenoon it was thought by the anxious friends about Dr Hamer's bedside that his condition was improved, but toward evening his symptoms becoame worse; and all hope was lost.  At about 8:30 he died.  The remains will be taken to his old home in 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 Medical College in Louisville, Ky., about 12 years ago.  He removed to Ottawa, and began the practice 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.

 

Ottawa Journal & Triumph.  Ottawa Kansas.  January 10, 1884.

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 Warren Brock Post 69 and the Marvin R. Davis V.F.W. Post 9107.  Friends may call at the funeral home until the service hour.

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.

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.

Notes for PRISCILLA H. HAMER:

July 1, 1997 - Bedford 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...

She was the great-granddaughter of Hugh Hamer, founder of a village near Mitchell which is now Spring Mill State Park. She was a former shoe store clerk, receptionist in a physician's office in Batesville and retired secretary for the City of Mitchell.  She was a member of Jacob Finger United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, Mitchell Associate chapter of Tri Kappa, Farm Bureau and an associate member of Lawrence County Retired Teachers Association. Surviving are one daughter, Patricia Meyer, Clarksville; two stepsons: Charles B. Knight of Oakland City and James G.

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.
