As a child of God, and as a descendant of those who paid a great price for our freedom, we must stand up for what God desires to do with and through our country. God is a God of good government—He ordained it. And He ordained us to be responsible for it.
My nephew “Bo” Tores took a picture of the Historical Marker which the Howland family has placed on the grounds where John and Elizabeth Howland lived. The marker reads:
“HERE STOOD THE HOME OF JOHN HOWLAND AND HIS WIFE ELIZABETH TILLEY HOWLAND FROM 1638 UNTIL HIS DEATH FEB 23, 1673. BOTH WERE PASSENGERS ON THE SHIP ‘MAYFLOWER.’
IN GRATEFUL REMEMBERANCE, THIS LAND HAS BEEN BOUGHT BY THEIR DESCENDANTS AND THIS MEMORIAL ERECTED AT PLYMOUTH MASS. 1620-1920.”

George and Emma’s life was stormy from the beginning. He was only sixteen years and she was fourteen. They each returned to their paternal homes at different times. When Emma was sixteen she gave birth to their first son, who was my father. (I will write more about him later.) They had eight children:
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN b. 20 MAY 1874 married ROSE ALBERTHA MATHIESEN
INA b. 24 Jan 1878, married WILLIAM SCOTT
MAUDE b. 1881, d. 1926
LUCY b. 1883 married GEORGE PRESCOTT
ERVIN, b.1887, married MARY
ADA b. 2 Jun 1891, married JESS TELFAIR
VERNON b. 1895 d. 1937 married MAE b. 1896 d. 1928.
RUTH b. 1897, died young.
Sometime in the early 1900s George left the family. Emma, who was a nurse, raised the children alone. In 1926 or 1927, Vernon, their son, found his father, George, in California and brought him back to Wisconsin. George went to live with his daughter, Ina, until his death. He told Lois and Velma (Ina’s children) many stories of things that happened to him in his lifetime. When he was about four years old and his sister was a baby, there was a renegade Indian uprising and the family was warned to go to a near-by fort. His mother, Silvia Woodbridge Hamilton, carried his little sister while she led George by the hand and they ran for the fort.
His father, Benjamin Hamilton, stayed behind to hold the Indians back. He was found later, dead, scalped and staked to the ground, using the stakes from his own wagon. This may have occurred on the Wisconsin or Minnesota side of the Mississippi. We have not been able to find any records pertaining to it.
Some of the stories Grandfather also told were: One time his father had hid him in a culvert overnight, to be safe from the Indians, then he went back the next day to get him. He also told of a tree limb that hung out over a road and a panther jumped out of it and attacked him. Another time, the wolves chased him when he was on skis, going across the frozen lake as he headed for his cabin.
