The loss (foreclosure) on the Sumpter Homestead in Linn County, Oregon
This is interesting document from the book, "
Reports of cases decided in the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon." The case of Fleschner v. Sumpter. Fleschner and his business partner Solomon Hirsch were well known pioneer financiers. I don't claim to have gotten all the nuances of the case, but It would appear that Alexander Sumpter, Jr. , the younger brother of Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton sold their donation land claim of 160 acres in Linn County, Oregon in the summer of 1880 to two men for $2,060. What happened after this is disputed but it would seem that Alexander Sumpter, Jr. used the mortgage he extended to the buyers as collateral in two promissory notes to secure loans from Fleschner. At this point Flescher is foreclosing on Alexander Sumpter, Jr's remaining interest in the mortgage paper related to the family's original donation land claim. The judge agreed. It's very interesting that this case made it all the way to the Oregon State Supreme Court. (posted by Glen)

The T-Bones: No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In - 1966
Before Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds there was the T-Bones. Below is a clip of the T-Bones performing the full instrumental (inspired from the jingle) that became their pop chart hit rising to #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 1966.

The Witch in Hadley: A Family Halloween story.
This is a GREAT family Halloween Story.
Supplina Hamilton's Great Grandmother was Elizabeth (Smith) Judd. Her Great Great Grandfather was Lieutenant Philip Smith mentioned in this account.
This page discusses the account of the infamous 17th Century 'Witch of Hadley' Massachusetts. Mary Webster was indicted by a grand jury and tried as a witch. She was acquited but gained a huge reputation... She was thought to be behind the death of our 'honorable and upstanding' ancestor, Lt. Philip Smith. Most of the source material on this page is taken from the definiative work of the history of Hadley, 'The History of Hadley', written by a cousin of ours, Sylvester Judd. It was originally published in 1863.

Buried in the Wauconda Cemetary is Elsie (Galloway) Hamilton's baby sister Effie who died in 1906. Elsie's mom felt she had to leave her husband Charlie Galloway and left Elsie in the care of grandma Galloway and Effie in the care of grandma Ramsey. Effie died of crib death shortly thereafter. Grandma Mary Ramsay's husband James had died in 1904 and is also buried in the Wauconda Cemetary. James was remembered as a dark skinned Scot with red hair and whiskers. He had a honest hard working reputation and was an old indian scout. James was born in 1832 (Actually, according to the 1900 Census he was born in September 1831) and held a timber claim in what is now Seattle before moving to what is now Buckley, WA and making a good living growing hops. They moved to Wauconda to escape the coastal weather believing it to be beneficial to their second child, Johnnie's health. (posted by Glen)
