Oil City Derrick, Tuesday, Oct 21 1902:
John C. Hamilton, well known in Oil City where he lived the past 8 years, died at his home on Clark's Summit at 4pm Monday from a complication of diseases, from which he suffered the past 7 weeks. He was born in Westmoreland County February 29, 1928.
Before the first excitement on Oil Creek, he was engaged in carriage making in Lawrence County, and abandoned the business to locate in this area, where he was engaged in speculating in oil lands, and accumulated quite a competence. From here, he moved to Oakland Township, where he engaged in farming until about 8 years ago, when he returned to Oil City to work for National Transit Company, an occupation he followed up until the time of his death. He was a lifelong member of the United Presbyterian Church, and was a man of the highest character and strictest integrity, thoroughly devoted to his wife and family, and a man whose death is a distinct loss to this community.
On May 13, 1856 in Mercer County, he married Miss Mary Heasley, and 12 children were born. Surviving are George L. Hamilton, William C. Hamilton, Robert H. Hamilton, Mrs. F. M. Becker, Mrs. T. W. Collins, Mrs. H. H. Blauser, and Mrs. G. W. Tinsdale, all of Oil City, and John E. Hamilton of Wallace, WV; brothers and sisters, Robert H. Hamilton, Kittanning, David and G. H. Hamilton of Farmington, Butler County, Mrs. John Glass of Butler, Mrs. Alexander Green of Bethel. Deceased is a brother, Jesse Hamilton of New Castle, a prominent contractor, whose death occurred late this spring.
Services will be announced.
