Some Reminiscences of the Hamilton Brothers In the early 1900s the Hinaman brothers, Leroy, Sam and Paul came to school on snowy mornings on a horse drawn sled. They came early to stoke the fire so the room would be warm when the teacher and students arrived. There was no well at the school so the older boys and girls carried water in buckets from the Charles Linn house across the road. Teachers were boarded at the Oley Linn and Emanuel Hamilton houses among others. When the government supplied powdered soups for schools, they were prepared on top of the potbellied stove—the beginning of "school lunches." After the Hamilton's attended school in Marion the interurban line between Marion, and Bucyrus that ran past the Hamilton home provided convenient transportation into town. The roadbed of the CD&M Interurban line can still be traced along SR 4. | ||
