General Notes:
Obituary from Dayton Chronicle, Dayton Washington, Aug. 24, 1907:
"Hamilton E. Brooke Dead"
"Hamilton E. Brooke, a well-known Portland man, died at 3 o'clock yesterday morning at his home, 50 Twentieth street north. He was born December 18, 1860. His widow survives him. There were no children."
"He was a son of the late Lloyd Brooke, and the family is one of the oldest and most widely-known in Oregon. He had long been attacked by a wasting disease akin to tuberculosis that affected his lungs, as a last resort being a trip with his wife on a sailing vessel to Hawaii. The relief he sought was not afforded by the change of climate, but instead his condition grew rapidly worse, and he returned home where he might die among those he had known from his youth. Up to about three weeks ago he was able to walk, but his strength and endurance finally were exhausted and he remained in his home, where his faithful wife administered to his needs until his death."
"He was the grandson of Edward Hamilton, an Oregon pioneer of 1850, and the son of Lloyd and Genevieve Brooke, both deceased. His widow was formerly Anna Hutcheon, of Dayton, Wash. They were married seven years ago."
"Hamilton E. Brooke inherited a snug fortune from his father. For several years he was negaged in the hardware business, being with the Honeyman Hardware company at the time of his death. Prior to that, he was with Foster & Robertson. The funeral will be held Friday at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal church. - Oregonian, August 22."
"Mrs. Geo. Hutcheon departed for Portland Wednesday to be present at the funeral."
