Obituary:

Suicide of a Former Lebanonite.
—A dispatch to the Enquirer from Chattanooga, Tenn., dated Nov. 12th says:
—H. H. Hamilton, who a few years ago was at the head of an extensive liquor store in Cincinnati and is well known there, and has been more recently a liquor dealer here, suicided to-night. He had been drinking heavily and this fact added to insane jealousy of his wife, drove him to the rash act. The couple boarded at the Kennedy House, at which a reception was to have been given tonight Hamilton shot himself through the heart and died in an hour. The reception was postponed.
—Mr. Hamilton formerly lived in Lebanon and is well remembered by many of the citizens here. He was clerking in a store on Broadway at the breaking out of the war where he enlisted in the service as a private and came out of the army at the end of the conflict as a Captain. After the war was over he returned to Lebanon and married Miss Lackey, daughter of Enos Lackey, deceased.

Henry married Catherine C. Lackey after 1860. Catherine (daughter of Enos Lackey and Matilda Irwin) was born on 5 Dec 1840 in Warren County, Ohio, United States; died after 3 Jan 1884. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
