With a broken heart I will attempt to write an obituary of my dear dad, Steve Hamilton. He was born on January 14, 1897 and passed away on January 21, 1984. Making his stay on earth 87 years and 7 days.
He was the son of the late Nelve and Rennie Holt Hamilton. He had six brothers and three sisters. He had three half-sisters, and two half-brothers. Those preceding him in death are Charlie Hamilton, Burt Hamilton, William Hamilton, Sidney Hamilton, Henry Hamilton, Tilda Ray, Vinnie Damron, Fannie Holt, Darcus Parsons.
Those surviving him are Betty Hall, Pikeville, Kentucky, Allard Hamilton Stanville, Kentucky, Duran Hamilton, Virgie, Kentucky, Andy Hamilton, Teaberry, Kentucky and Rosa Belcher, Teaberry, Kentucky.
He was married to Rose Anna Hamilton on November 8, 1917. They were married for 66 years and to this union was born eleven children. Five of the children preceding him in death. They are as follows: Lexie and Jacqulyn who both died in infancy. Orpha Hamilton, Mildred Weaver, Edna McCauley all of whom died in their latter years. Those surviving him are Pearlie Hamilton, Betsy Layne, Kentucky, Eyviand Hamilton, Teaberry, Kentucky, Clearance Hamilton, Betsy Layne, Kentucky, Geneva Flora, Albion, Michigan, Roxie Novak, Baltimore, Maryland, and Nannie Belle Eller, West Grove, Pennsylvania.
He joined the church at the Little Dove Church on Little Mud in 1955 and moved his membership to the Little Rachel Church the last few years of his lefe.
Cancer took him, but a child never forgets their daddy. When waking hours are upon me he is still in my thoughts and in my heart. His wife Rose Anna joined the Old Regular Baptist Church one year before he did in the year of 1954, and one of his daughters, Pearlie Hamilton is a member of the Little Sarah Church in Pike County.
He leaves behind 44 grandchildren and 66 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. We cannot change the course of destiny, for death was poppy's destiny. He sleeps on Davidson Memorial awaiting to be reunited with his soul. (Rest on Poppy) time won't be long before Christ will return again and take his children home to be forever with the Father.
I want to say to all Poppy's children and to all his grandchildren who have not made peace with the Good Lord. Fall out with sin and meet Poppy in heaven. He told me he dreamed about going to a big green meadow on a hill and there he saw two little white lambs. He said one of the little lambs was Mildred. He said to me, Pearlie I believe you will meet me in heaven. When he got so bad off we had to turn him in a sheet, and he turned his head over to me and said you look so pretty and that he loved me. I told him that I loved him too. He told Mommy that he hated to leave her, but that he had to go on. Oh how wonderful it will be to meet in that Bright City where we will never cry or have heart aches any more, or sickness any more.Written by your broken hearted daughter, Pearlie Hamilton (Sister in hope, Betsy Layne, Ky.)

1105. Nannie Hamilton

«/u»«/b»
In a beautiful garden filled with colorful flowers, we always reach down and pluck up the most precious and beautiful. Thats the way it was when the Lord took Nannie. A wonderful wife, mother and grandmother to us all.
Nannie Francis (Hamilton) Howell was born January 19, 1904 in Floyd County to the late Betty (Akers) and Lee Hamilton. The Lord took her home October 16, 1983 after a long illness.
Nannie was united in marriage on July 17, 1919 to Green Howell, also from Floyd County. Unto this union were born ten children. Six girls and four boys. Georgie and Lou Verdie who preceded her in death. Levi Howell of Rising Sun, Maryland, Will Howell of Conowingo, Maryland, Newberry Howell of Pikeville, Kentucky, Betty Howell of Pikeville Kentucky Roseanna Hamilton of Pikeville, Kentucky, Cornella Adams of Pikeville, Kentucky, Alice Miller of Pikeville, Kentucky and Jean Deskins of Columbus, Ohio. She also leaves behind to mourn her death twenty-eight grandchildren and forty-five great grandchildren and two great greats, and a host of friends and relatives.
Nannie loved the Lord so much and she joined the Old Regular Baptist Church of Island Creek the first Saturday in December 1940 and remained a good and faithful member until her death.
Many times she would tell us all of a true experience that happened to her after she had joined the church. We would like very much to share this with you.
Although she had joined church and had tried to be a faithful member, she still felt as if she hadn't been forgiven of her sins and no matter what she did, she couldn't shake this feeling. So while in church one morning, she asked the Lord to show her in some way if he had truly forgiven her of her sins. She said "Lord, if you have forgiven me, let the first song that the preacher sings this morning be 'I wonder what they are doing up in heaven today?' As the congregation finished praying, a song rang out so loud and true. The first song that was sung was 'I wonder what they are doing up in heaven today?' Nannie never doubted the Lord again for no one else in that room knew what she had prayed.
We miss you Mammaw! Its just not the same here without you.Written by:
