Mark Hamblin
Amount those who settled in this county at an early day was Mark Hamblin.
He was born in Franklin county, Ohio, on the 24th day of February, 1825 and on August 5th 1849 was united in marriage with Miss Temperance Densmore and the following, year he and his bride located in Marquette county, Wisconsin, but remained there only a few months, and in April 1851 they came to this county which has ever since been their home.
Mr. Hamblin was a mason by trade, and for a number of years after coming here followed that occupation, then engaged in farming in Milo township until a few years ago, when he became a resident of this city.
He was a quiet, unostentacious man, honest and upright in all his dealings, a kind and affectionate husband and father and an excellent citizen.
Last Thursday afternoon he was lying on a couch reading, and, taking off his spectacles and holding them in one hand and the newspaper in the other, he remarked to his wife that he had been reading about Senator Hanna's death, and said "I wonder if I will not be the next one to follow Hanna" As he finished the sentence the paper and spectacles dropped from his hands, and the spirit of Mark Hamblin had returned to the God who gave it. His death is attributed to heart disease and was wholly unexpected for though he had been slightly ailing for sometime he was not confined to his house and his illness was not considered at all serious.
He is survived by his wife and their four children; Edward M. and Charles G., of this county; Solon R., and Mrs. Elvira C. Atkins of Dell Rapids, South Dakota, all of whom were present at the funeral.
The funeral services were held at the family residence in this city last Sunday afternoon, Rev. H. O. Pratt, of the M. E. church, officiating.
