A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford-, Oregon, Sunday, March 22, 1959
Anniversary Observed
By Central Point Couple
Central Point - J.Ir. and Mrs.
Cyrus T. Hamilton of Central
Point observed their 62nd
wedding anniversary quietly
at their home on March 16.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton
are 82 years of age.
The couple, married in Long
Island, Kan., March 16, 1897,
came to Medford in February,
1911.
The Hamiltons lived in
Medford until 1915 when they
moved to Central Point, pur
chasing the J. S. Barnett place
north of the town. They have
lived there since, and now
have a 20-acre pear orchard
and farm.
. While in Medford, and for
a time after moving to Central
Point, Mr. Hamilton continued
in the building trade. He
helped built the Natatorium,
the Mail Tribune building, the
Medford Furniture and Hard
ware building, and numerous
Medford structures, some of
which have been razed and
replaced. He served .on the
Central Point -school board
until 1922, the year that E. H.
Hedrick, former superintend
ent of Medford schools, left
Central Point to go to
Heppner.
. Mrs. Hamilton was born
Ida Rachel Skelton in Scar
borough, England, and -came
to the United States with her
parents at the age of five. The
family settled in north central
Kansas. Her youngest brother,
Joseph Skelton, of 824 Eeall
Lane, Medford, died last Oc
tober. The Skelton family home in
Long Island was twice de
stroyed by Kansas "twisters".
Mrs. Hamilton recalls having
seen the kitchen stove sail out
of the house through the roof,
when she was a very small
girl.
An impressive first event in
America was the birth of her
younger, sister, Maude, on
July 4. Her birth date seemed
to cut the ties with Mother
England and establish the
Skeltons as "100 per cent
Americans." Maude, now Mrs.
Dietrick of Meridian, Calif.,
has many friends in the Rogue
River valley, having spent sev
eral recent years here with
her brother the late Joseph
Skelton.
The Hamiltons came west
from Kansas with several
Long Island families on a

Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Hamilton, Central Point, pictured
here during a Sunday outing last summer, celebrated their
62nd wedding anniversary at their home March 16. The
Hamiltons, who were married in Kansas in 1897, came to
Medford in 1911 and have lived in Jackson county since.
Their sons are Moore Hamilton, Medford postmaster and
Scott Hamilton, Central Point orchardist. The picture was
taken at a spot on Four Bit creek above Butte Falls.

of Medford, who came in the
same train. The "Emigrant
Car" actually included two
cars, he recalls. The people
occupied one and the other
