Titus Hamilton was a farmer on Kelley’s island, Ohio who was born in 1844 and served in the civil war for the 130th infantry in 1864. He married in 1888 before moving to 126 abbey street sometime before 1899 and ultimately succumbing to a stroke (apoplexy) in June of 1913. He liked to frequent the lodge on the island to play checkers and had numerous kids. His wife survived until 1946. The house is now a bed and breakfast on Kelley’s island.
Most certainly this 11 gauge was a waterfowl gun.
