Mary was the daughter of John and Eleanor Jane (Kelly) Stevenson of Sault Sainte Marie, Chippewa County, Michigan. She married John Bertram "Red" Hamilton on August 22, 1921 in Monroe County, Michigan, and the couple had two known children; Howard H., born in 1922, and Arvith "Orval" Hamilton, born 1923. "Red" Hamilton is known in history as a member of the Dillinger gang. "Jack" was in the Indiana State Penitentiary at the time of his wife's death, where he had been sent in 1927 after being convicted of robbing a gas station in St. Joseph County, IN. He escaped in 1933, and after a series of robberies as a member of the Dillinger gang, was mortally wounded by a policeman's bullet on August 22, 1934 in Minnesota. This was shortly after the gang had escaped a federal ambush at Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin. He died in Aurora, Illinois on April 30, 1934 and secretly buried by the gang in a gravel pit near Oswego.
After Mary's death, her mother, who had remarried to Clarence Kimble by 1920, took custody of her children and raised them.
