Atlas of Whitman County, Washington - 1910 - Township 16 N, Range 41 E

Glen · July 27, 2007

This image is from the work "Atlas of Whitman County, Washington" published in 1910 shows the map of Township 16 North, Range 41 East (T16N R41E). If you look at the extreme left of the map and between 41.50 and 41.12 you'll find the Hamilton School (marked 'School') and H.P (Heman) Hamilton's land. Supplina Hamilton died in 1905. Supplina owned the property that the school was on and the land on both sides of Union Flat Creek. This map implies that the homestead had been put under the name of his son Heman Hamilton or sold to someone outside the family by 1910. Heman's land is also clearly marked in the 1895 version of the atlas and his father Supplina's land was adjacent. In Supplina Hamilton's will (he died in 1905) he left the section of land he owned at that time to his wife, Jane. That section was noted in Supplina's will as being north of this location within T18N R42E. (As a side note: This is confirmed in this same 1910 Whitman County atlas where Supplina's widow 'Mrs. Jane Hamilton' is shown as an owner of a section of land north of this location within T18N R42E a short distance south of Saint John, WA and near land leased and some owned by her son Frank). As of June 2007 a well-kept old home still stands on the location of the original Supplina and Jane Hamilton farm house on the property on Union Flat Creek within T16N R41E. The Hamilton school is gone except for an old out building that is remembered by the locals in the area to have been a teachers or cooks house. Members of the Judd Hamilton family and other Hamilton children were known to have gone to school there. Note: on the far right of the map is the property of Rosa L. Hamilton. Rosa was the wife of Civil War Veteran William McCord Hamilton who was the brother of Supplina Hamilton. This property is on what is now called Edward Hamilton Road. Edward Hamilton is the grandson of Rosa and William Hamilton. Edward's property was at the northern end of the road on what was land that was originally owned by his mother's family, the Lairds. Edward Hamiton's son, Clarence Hamilton and family now live on that property.
