He was actively engaged In the practice of medicine here for 40 years, and was widely known throughout the state as one of Us foremost citizens. Salathiel Hamilton was born at Morgantown, West Virginia, Nov.

1825, and at his death had reached the age of 88 years, three months. He was of Scotch ancestry, but Ms father and grandfather were lifelong residents of Virginia. The latter was a soldier in the war of 1912. His maternal grandfather, Col. James Scott, also served in the war of 1912.

His father, the great grandfather of Dr. Hamilton, served his country in the Revolutionary war. Dr. Hamilton was the oldest of a fimiily of nine children, and was brought up on a farm In Ohio, where his parents settled when he was but three years or age. There he gained his early education in a district school and later he attended a high school in Zanes-vllle, Ohio.

As a young man he taught for three years In the schools of Perry County, Ohio, meanwhile giving attention to the study of medicine. In 1849 he entered regularly upon the study of medicine In tho office of Dr. Hess, in Newcastle, Indiana, continuing iu practice there until 1852. In that year he and a party of friends started for the Pacific Coast. They traveled by boat to St.

Joseph, and on May 12, Btarted from there across the plains, by ox teams. Coming through the Rogue River route they reached Douglas County in November, 1852.

Halley's company during the Rogue River Indian war, that being a part of the First Oregon Regiment. Resuming his medical practice he built up an extensive business in his profession, answering calls from all parts of the county. For nearly 40 years he continued as the leading physician of this sect'on of the state, retiring from active practice In 1893, although still a vigorouss man. In 1857 he established a drug store In Roseburg, which was later developed so extensively that this business was formed into the Hamilton Drug with his sons, Dr. W.

S. Hamilton and Dr. L. H. Hamilton, and which continues to be the leading drug house of this county.

He also acquired large property interests both in this city and the surrounding country. in 1870 Dr. Hamilton was elected president of the Coos Hay Wagon Road which built the old Coos Hay wagon road, and is still one of the chief thoroughfaress to the coast. In 1877 he was appointed a regent of the University of Oregon, and served in that "apacity for two terms of THAT JAP TKKATY.
