HON. HAMILTON HARRIS
That distinguished lawyer and jurist, Hon. and Judge Hamilton Harris of Albany, while conducting a case before the Supreme Court in that city in December, was taken ill and removed to his residence, where he survived but a few days. He was 80 years of age, and one of the most talented and notable members of the New York State Bar. He was in lineage a descendant of the celebrated Scotch-American family of which the famous old-time American statesman Alexander Hamilton was a member. A characteristic of this family for the past two centuries was the naming of the oldest son and grandson in the lineage "Hamilton." The Berkshire descent was from Esther Hamilton, the wife of Samuel Page Tyler, the orderly-sergeant of the Revolutionary Minute Men who gave the alarm to the citizens of New Ashford, Williamstown and Cheshire of the impending battle at Bennington. Three descendants of this Berkshire family bore the name of "Hamilton," only one of whom is now living
