Although this is decidedly

HAMILTON an English name, the branch of the family of which this article treats migrated to Ireland, and from thence came to America.

( I) Robert Hamilton, born in the northern part of Ireland, emigrated to America in 1818, settling in Boston, Massachusetts. After a short residence in that city he removed to Dexter, Maine, where he acquired a farmi which he cultivated, and remained there until his death. He married Semple.

( II) James Semple, son of Robert and (Semple ) Hamilton, was born in Ire- land, 1817, died in Orono, Maine, 1871. He was scarcely more than a year old when his father came to America, and but very young when the family removed to Dexter, where his education was acquired. When he had at- tained young manhood he removed to Orono, Maine, where for a time he was an oar-maker. He then engaged in the lumber business, op- erating sawmills and engineering logging operations in the woods, and was identified with these occupations during the remainder of his life. In politics he was a stanch Re- publican, and represented his town two terms in the state legislature. He was a member of the Universalist church. Mr. Hamilton mar- ried Clara, daughter of - Bookings, of Woolwich, Maine, and of the nine children there are now living: Charles G., in Orono, Prescott, Hugh A. in Orono, and George.

(III) George, youngest living son of James Semple and Clara ( Bookings) Hamilton, was born in Orono, Maine, February 13, 1853.

The Maine stock of the Mc- MCCURDY Curdys crossed over from New Hampshire. In what generation the crossing occurred, or who was the bearer of the name, history does not di- vulge. Archibald McCurdy, of Ballymony, is the old seed ancestor of all, and judging from the present standing and accomplishments of the now-time McCurdys, their forebears must have been of the resolute, sturdy stock which is the proud heritage of all who proclaim Scot- land as their native heath.

(I) Harding Green McCurdy was born in Washington, Knox county, Maine, in 1827, and there he resided until within six years of death, respected by his townsmen, and in 1903 he died at Bangor, at peace with his God and all the world ; a greatly missed man and neigh- bor.

lows; Candeskeag Lodge, No. 53, Knights of Pythias; Bangor Lodge, No. 244, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; and Bangor Camp, No. 7799, Modern Woodmen of Ameri- ca. He married Mary A., daughter of John M. Newhall, of Washington, in 1886. One child, Doris M.

From the time when surnames NELSON came into use, it has been the custom of the Scandinavian people to form the surname by adding son to the forename of the father whose surname was not adopted by his children. This custom, though less in use now than formerly, is still in vogue, and the principal subjects of this article followed the ancient usage in reference to the name.

He has been an agri- cultural and railroad laborer, and at times has had charge of crews of men. He married Inga Britta Hammar, who was born in Askome, Sweden, daughter of Johan Hammar, who was born in Askome, Sweden, in 1793. His father was at one time a member of the Swedish Chamber of Deputies. Johan and his two brothers were in the Swedish army ; one broth- er was a captain, and the other a lieutenant. Two cousins of Otto Nelson are commissioned officers in the Swedish army. Gustaf and Inga Britta (Hammar) Larson had four sons, one of whom died in infancy; Edward, born in Sweden, in 1858, died in La Porte, Michigan, in 1882; Otto, mentioned at length below ; John Alvin, born in Sweden, in 1866, is living in Bangor.
