1909: RAISING FUNDS AT PETER DOLAN'S HAMILTON HOTEL
They were on the way! The fire "laddies"* at Hamilton Fire Company were confident that their first piece of fire-fighting apparatus is just a few hundred more dollars away.
*Instead of "firemen," or "fire fighters," firemen were often referred to as "fire laddies" in the 19th and early part of the 20th century.
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
