1845.  Hannibal C. Hamilton was a farmer.  At the age of fourteen Nathan F. 
began work at the carpenter's trade, but at sixteen he enlisted as drummer 
boy in Company F, Tenth Vermont Volunteers, and served about two and a 
half years, until the close of the war.  He then commenced the study of

year, and took up the study of dentistry under the direction of another 
brother, Merrill T. Hamilton, of Newport, Vt.  Nathan F. Hamilton had
