Hamilton Family Picnic Register Notebook

Glen · August 4, 2007

This is a PDF version made up of digital photographs of the old attendee register of the family reunion, "the Hamilton Picnic." The book appears to have been started by Supplina Hamilton's daughter, Ida Cole in 1948. It appears to have been maintained by Frank Hamilton's wife, Allie (Julia Aletha Templeton). It was passed down to Frank's son, Glenn Hamilton and to Glenn's son, Hugh Hamilton. It is currently in the possession of Hugh's daughter, Connie (Hamilton) Boone of Baker City, Oregon. I omitted some pages that were blank. Though not always grouped in chronological order it seems like there was an effort to group the record of those attending the Picnic by family based on who was descended from one of Supplina and Jane's children (Such as the Duron, Frank or Judd Hamilton families or one of the daughters of Supplina and Jane) or grandchildren (such as Duron's son Oscar or Judd's son Maurice). Close cousins such as Supplina Hamilton's brother William's family (Jim and Mernie, Ed and Mildred and children Clarence & Vivian) are especially noted. It is a fascinating record and very valuable in helping us remember our family groups and those who were closely allied as friends of the Hamiltons. The PDF file is a little over 6MB in size and well worth the download.
