• Obituary*: "OBITUARY.
     "Mrs. A. Boyd Hamilton.
     "Died, on Tuesday morning, September 11, 1883, Mrs. Catharine Louisa Naudain, wife of our esteemed citizen A. Boyd Hamilton, Esq. Mrs. Hamilton was a native of near Dover, Delaware, where she was born on the 11th of April, 1823. She was of Huguenot ancestry, her family coming to America in 1698, settling in the then lower counties of Penn’s Province, now the State of Delaware. Her father, Dr. Arnold Naudain, was quite prominent in the affairs of his native State, having been a major in the war of 1812, frequently a Senator and Representative in the Legislature of Delaware, United States Senator from 1820 to 1836, when he resigned, and collector of the port at Wilmington. His fourth daughter became the wife of A. B. Hamilton in 1845, and during the greater part of her married life has resided at Harrisburg. For a long period she has been an invalid, and yet through all her physical sufferings she was the same amiable wife and mother. Highly gifted—a mind well informed—Mrs. Hamilton’s company was greatly enjoyed by those who had access to the home circle, around which for so many years she threw a charmed halo. Modest and retiring, of fine social qualities and of profound piety, she endeared herself to many, but to none more so than the delightful earthly home out of which she has passed—and the beloved ones who will revere her memory for all the years to come. She was a good woman in every acceptation of that term, a fond Christian mother and a noble, God-fearing wife. We have not only profound veneration for her pious memory—but the warmest sympathy, in which our readers will share, for the bereaved husband in this hour of his darkest sorrow. In the Providence of God, the messenger Death will come, and as we stand dazed at the portals of the grave the Faith of the Christian is the only support."⁸

• Obituary*: "A. BOYD HAMILTON.
     "Death of One of the Oldest Citizens of Harrisburg.
     "An attack of paralysis Tuesday evening resulted last night shortly before midnight in the death of A. Boyd Hamilton at his residence, 815 Walnut street. A change for the worse occurred about 8 o’clock last evening and he sank rapidly.
     "Adam Boyd Hamilton was born in Harrisburg, September 18th, 1808, son of Hugh Hamilton, who was a son of Capt. John Hamilton and of Rosanna Boyd, only child of Adam Boyd. Both these ancestors were purchasers of property in 1785, both erected substantial brick mansions, and both died and are buried here. The subject of this notice received his first school training under Messrs. Graham and Smith, at Second and Mulberry streets. Charles Still, Maginnes, Birkman, Hamilton, Tod and Davies. Most of his time was devoted to picking up the trade of printer in his father’s establishment, the Harrisburg Chronicle. At this early period two late chief justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Messrs. Lewis and Thompson, were employed there, as well as many other gentlemen who rose to social and political positions. Having been carefully trained as a printer, after leaving the Harrisburg Academy he was appointed to a position in the engineer corps of the Juniata division of the State works, under DeWitt Clinton, jr., as chief. The partner of his father having died, he returned to Harrisburg and became partner in the Chronicle, where he continued until that paper was disposed of to other parties. He was chosen, when scarcely of voting age, one of the printers to the Legislature. After spending a couple of years in a business venture in the South, he returned to Harrisburg, and shortly after was appointed to a position at Washington city. He resigned to take control of the Pennsylvania Reporter, at Harrisburg; after a year or two he was unanimously chosen assistant clerk of the Senate, resigning that, and becoming joint partner in the Pennsylvanian at Philadelphia with Mifflin, Parry, Joseph Neal, J. W. Forney and S. D. Patterson. When that venture was closed he became, under the contract law, printer to both houses of Congress, and at the repeal of that law, which carried his contract with it, came to Pennsylvania. Again he became printer to the State until 1861, when he retired from that business and became an agriculturist. He held many municipal offices—a school director for twelve years; president of the Select Council, and one of the Commissioners of 1860, and of a commission in 1870 to make a plot of the city of Harrisburg; president of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, the Dauphin County Society; a trustee of the Harrisburg Academy, secretary of the Board of Managers of the Harrisburg Hospital from the first meeting on the subject in 1872, president of the Board of Trustees of Derry Presbyterian Church; trustee of the Harrisburg Public Library, and the only president of the Dauphin County Historical Society since its formation.
     "In historical work Mr. Hamilton furnished numerous contributions to the history of Dauphin county. He prepared a series of sketches on “Middletown-on-the-Susquehanna,” besides several valuable pamphlets, biographical and genealogical. Later in life he was full of interesting reminiscences, and having a most excellent memory, these were very entertaining. Born in the city of Harrisburg and residing here nearly his entire life, with the exception of a period of about fifteen years which was passed in Philadelphia and Washington, he was well acquainted with all the leading characters and representative men at the State Capital. Mr. Hamilton was twice married. His first wife was Catharine Louisa Naudain, daughter of Dr. Arnold Naudain, of New Castle county, Delaware. She died September 11th, 1883, in Harrisburg, at the age of 60 years, and their children who reached maturity were Howard and Dr. Hugh, twins, the former of whom died in Philadelphia in 1887. The latter, Dr. Hugh Hamilton, is a prominent physician of this city. The youngest child is Naudain, of this city. Mr. Hamilton married secondly, in 1888, Isabella Moore Hays daughter of Samuel Wallace Hays, who survives.
     "Mr. Hamilton was exceedingly active during the centennial celebration of the city and was helpful in arranging the splendid antiquarian exhibit which, under the direction of State Librarian Egle and himself, was a feature of that great anniversary occasion.
     "The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon from the family residence."¹²
• Note*: From Egle's Pennsylvania Genealogies: "His school training was under private tutors, and at the Harrisburg Academy. He learned the trade of printer in his father's establishment, the Harrisburg Chronicle. . . . As he rose to manhood, he was appointed in the engineer corps of the Juniata division of the State works, under DeWitt Clinton, Jr., as chief. The partner of his father having died, he returned to Harrisburg, and became part owner of the Chronicle. He was chosen when scarcely of voting age, one of the printers to the Legislature. After spending a couple of years in the South, he returned to Harrisburg, and was appointed to a position at Washington city; resigned, taking control of the Pennsylvania Reporter at Harrisburg; subsequently unanimously chosen assistant clerk of the Senate, resigning that, and becoming joint partner in the Pennsylvanian, at Philadelphia . . . . At the termination of this partnership, he became printer to both houses of Congress, and at the repeal of the contract law, returned to Harrisburg, and for the following nine years was State printer. He has held a number of public positions: that of school director for twelve years; president of the select council; one of the commissioners of 1860, and of a subsequent one in 1870, to make a plot of the city of Harrisburg; president of the State Agricultural Society, and of the Dauphin County Society; a trustee of the Harrisburg Academy; secretary of the board of managers of the Harrisburg Hospital from the first meeting on the subject, in 1872; president of the board of trustees of Derry Presbyterian church, and president of the Dauphin County Historical Society since its formation."¹³

• Obituary*: • DR. CLAYTON A. COWGILL DEAD     
     Years Ago He Was a Well-Known Physician in Dover.
     Special to “The Morning News.”
     DOVER, Del., Feb. 4 [1901].—Clayton A. Cowgill, many years ago a practicing physician here, died on February 2 at the residence of his son-in-law, Edward H. Wilson, Baring street, West Philadelphia. He was about 72 years old.
     He was formerly a resident here, where he practiced medicine successfully for twelve or fifteen years before the civil war. Possessed of superior mental faculties, highly cultivated, he applied himself assiduously to the study of his profession and his remarkable skill in the treatment of diseases, his devotion to his patients and agreeable personalty, was rewarded by a large and lucrative practice.
     The only diversion from the duties of his profession was in 1853, when he was elected clerk of the House of Representatives and served with remarkable alertness and ability through the session.
     In 1862 Dr. Cowgill gave up his practice in Dover to accept an appointment as surgeon in the United States army, and was soon afterwards assigned to hospital duty at Newbern [sic], N. C., where he remained until the close of the war, when on account of the delicate condition of his wife’s health, he purchased a place on St. John’s river, near Pilatka, and removed to Florida.
     Dr. Cowgill was appointed comptroller of the State of Florida, and was a member of the canvassing board that declared the vote of that state in favor of Hayes, in the Hayes-Tilden contest for President in 1877.
     He was twice married—his first wife, Mrs. Lydia Naudain Cowgill, was the daughter of Dr. Arnold Naudain, at one time United States senator from Delaware. She died in Florida, leaving a son, who spent most of his life in South America, and two daughters, both of whom are married.
     Dr. Cowgill’s second wife survives him. Of this marriage there are no children.
     After the funeral services in Philadelphia on Tuesday morning the remains will be brought to Dover and interred in the family lot at the cemetery.

• Obituary*: "DR. ALEXANDER HARDCASTLE
     "Caroline’s Most Venerable Physician Passes Away—His Career.
     "Dr. Alexander Hardcastle, Caroline county’s most venerable physician and a highly esteemed citizen of Denton, died at his home at an early hour Tuesday morning. He had been in feeble health for several years, but to the delight of his relatives and numerous friends his sufferings were not great and he maintained throughout his ever-happy spirit and cheerfulness. This was a source of real pleasure to all. About three days before his death he himself discovered that pleurisy and pneumonia were coming upon him. Owing to his age the encroachments of these diseases could not be stayed, and with his dear ones and friends about him, he passed away. Many are grieved at his demise. He enjoyed the real friendship and affection of hosts of friends.
     "The funeral was held at the home yesterday afternoon. Rev. E. P. Roberts, pastor of the M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. A. N. Ward, of the M. P. Church, and Rev. J. Gibson Gantt, of Christ Church, officiated. Interment took place in Denton cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. E. H. Simons, Herbert Simons and Laird Simons, of Philadelphia, and John E. Wilson, William P. Manlove, Richard T. Carter, J. Dukes Downes and Ormond W. Downes, of this county.
     "Dr. Hardcastle was born at Castle Hall, in the First district, on January 2, 1826. Here also his father, Hon. William M. Hardcastle, was born on December 2, 1778, dying there in the ninety-sixth year of his age. The first of the Hardcastles to arrive in this country settled near Denton, and several well-known estates were established by them. One of the most notable of these was Castle Hall, a fine old mansion built about the time of the close of the Revolutionary War. Dr. Hardcastle’s grandfather, Captain Thomas Hardcastle, was the builder. For more than a century a splendid hospitality was dispensed at this pleasant and inviting homestead. From his fourth year the subject of this sketch attended school at Castle Hall, but from his fifteenth to his twentieth year he was instructed by a private tutor. He then entered the office of Dr. Griffin W. Goldsborough, at Greensboro. In 1847 he entered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and also studied in the office of Professor Mutter. His aim was to fit himself for the post of surgeon in the army. He graduated in March, 1849. His father desired his presence at home and his assistance at Castle Hall, and the army life was, therefore, in deference to parental request, given up, although it appeared to him to be very inviting. For many years he practiced in the First district and in adjacent territory, and conducted the great farm and cared for his parents. Dr. Hardcastle was one of the first farmers to grow peaches heavily. At one time he had thirteen thousand trees in bearing. Some years were very profitable with this fruit, notably in 1878, when the shipments from Castle Hall were exceedingly heavy.
     "Dr. Hardcastle was elected to the Legislature twice in the early seventies. In the session of 1872 he was a member of the House committee on ways and means. He was a friend of the colored people, and was one of the first advocated in the Legislature of an appropriation for colored schools, the first appropriation being fifty thousand dollars. He was later a School Commissioner for this county for a number of years. Dr. Hardcastle was one of the original directors of the Delaware & Chesapeake Railway, now a part of the Pennsylvania system. Though brought up in the Presbyterian Church, Dr. and Mrs. Hardcastle became members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Hardcastle was before her marriage Miss Kate Naudain, daughter of Elias and Margaret M. Naudain, and a niece of Dr. Arnold Naudain, who was for many years United States Senator from Delaware and at one time a judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Mrs. Hardcastle and one son, Mr. Alexander Hardcastle, now a practicing attorney in Baltimore, survive, as does a sister, Mrs. G. W. Goldsborough, of Greensboro."⁵
• Note*: After graduating from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and passing the exams necessary to become an army surgeon, he acceded to his father's request and returned to Castle Hall to practice medicine. He also ran the 1200-acre Castle Hall plantation, where he grew peaches on a large scale. In 1890 he moved to Denton, Maryland and practiced there until his death. He was described as "a man of strong character, a progressive citizen [who] for many years took a prominent part in all County and State affairs."
