10. Hugh Edward Hamilton was born on 20 Oct 1871 in East Clifton Quebec. He died on 27 Feb 1942 in 193 5th Ave., Unity Sask. He was buried in Pleasantview Cemetary, Unity Sask.. Hugh was born in East Clifton Quebec and grew up here. He became a school teacher and in 1904 was teaching school in Sydney Manitoba where he met his wife who was also a school teacher. There first son Lyle was born here. In 1910 he moved his family to Unity Saskatchewan to teach school. Here he started a farm implement, car dealership, and gas station, at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets in Unity which he ran until his death in 1941. We have a calendar from 1935 which shows him to be a Pontiac Dealer at that time. He also at one time sold Durant Star automobiles as well as Dodge. John Deer Farm Equipment and Gulf - Frontenac gas rounded out the franchises. I do not know the time line for the auto franchises except that my mother always talked about Dodge and dad always drove a Chrysler product. So sometime after 1935 the franchise changed to Dodge. The Calendar was sent to me by Don Wallace a cousin still living in Unity in 1999. he said a friend found it in a antique shop in Saskatoon and purchased for 25 cents and they sent it to me in May of 1999. The dealer ship was located at 301 Main St. at third Ave. in Unity Sask.
