1979: June Cunningham Hammill's Gift to Hamilton

Those who are interested in our Colonial and Revolutionary War heritage here in Hamilton will be intererested to know that Hamilton's John Abbott II House on Kuser Road at the entrance to Veterans' Park played a small part in the war by virtue of hiding money from the British. The full story can be found in the current Hamilton History, "The History of Hamilton Township, Written by People Who Live Here." The late June Cunningham Hammill was a colleague of mine who also freelanced for the Mercer Messenger. June had a little cottage directly next to the Mercerville Fire Company back in the 50's and 60's. The article above will explain. That Doctors' House has been restored and sits proudly in the back yard of the Abbott House property.

BY THE WAY, THIS SUNDAY FROM 2 TO PM, THE SOCIETY IS HOLDING THEIR ANNUAL OLD FASHIONED "WASSAIL PARTY." IT'S FREE, AND THE "PUBLICK" IS INVITED TO ATTEND. I WILL BE BRINGING MY CHRISTMAS MUSIC FOR A CHRISTMAS SINGALONG. SEE YOU THERE!
