Obituary Archibald Hamilton was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina, December 19, 1785 and emigrated to Indiana in 1817. He professed faith in Christ as a sin pardoning Savior in 1821, and joined the U. B. Church under the labors of Reverend Jacob Antrim (or Autrice), the first Brethren minister that ever traveled in that part of the state.
He died April 4, 1860, aged 74 years, 3 months, 15 days. Father Hamilton has long stood as a faithful member of the church, in the same place where he joined. No complaint was ever brought against him by his class, if my information be correct. His manner was rather retiring, doing more in honor of Christianity by example than by words, for they were few, but usually to the purpose.
The writer remembers well an inexperienced youth in the ministry, that this esteemed father and his now bereaved but godly companion, received him into their home and advised and aided him in his weakness in his duties as a minister. Not only they but others in the same class did the same. How we love to cherish such in our memories.
Father Hamilton battled nearly 40 years in this warfare, his life and manner having a remarkable sameness. But he is gone. He died in peace, as might have been expected from the way he lived. He was calm, peaceful, and full of hope. His faith was unwavering. He often felt so ecstatic that he would praise God with shouts of gladness, giving his dying charge to friends left behind. A companion of his youth and his riper years shared largely of his words of comfort and advice and exhortation. After taking his dying leave of them all, he had a season of very pleasant tranquility.
Death had lost it's sting. Heaven seemed nearer than ever before, and his soul was joyous and ready to exchange earth for heaven.
Thus passed away one of the first fathers of our church in Indiana, and we say, peace to his ashes - peace to his memory. His funeral services were subsequently attended to by the writer, and the multitude that honored his memory with their presence at his funeral evinced the high regard and esteem they had for him as a Christian and citizen.Susannah died 27 Oct 1862.
