His occupation was a machinist. He was not related by blood or marriage to the person whom he desired to marry and had not been married before.

From the Cambria Freeman, January 28, 1881, column 3, edition:
A young son of Mr. Joseph Hamilton, of East Conemaugh, had his left foot crushed and was otherwise severely injured, on Monday evening last, by being struck and run over by an engine at what is known as the upper Woodvale crossing. It is feared that the injured member will have to be amputated.

Event Note
Eckie (Kiel) Hamilton was living with her son James M Hamilton at 102 Seel Street when she died. James said it was in Etna; the person who filled out the death record said it was in Shaler Township, which looks like the more precise location to me. She might have been living there by May 31, 1931, since the doctor's statement on the death record said he had attended to her from that date onward, and his address is in Etna, not Pittsburgh. |
