This is what Samuel Hart Hamilton the brother of Elijah Hamilton writes about him and about Jonathan the dad in his Hamilton Genealogy in 1892.
My father's family was related to Jonathan Hamilton born in Harmony, Maine July 15, 1801 and died Agusut 18, 1855 at the Aldrich Hotel, Aldrich, Minnesota and lies buried on the farm of a Mr. Armstrong, about 1/2 mile from the station. (then there is a notation 'his remains were taken up in 1897 and re-buried in a family cemetery on the old S.H. Hamilton homestead in Germania Township, Todd Co, MN.)
The Samuel H. Hamilton journal reports his father “died August 18, 1885 at the Aldrich Hotel, Aldrich, Minnesota and lied buried on the farm of a Mr. Armstrong, about 1/2 mile from the station.” His remains were removed in 1897 to the Hamilton Cemetery site.
From Saturday, 29 August 1885 newspaper: Jos. N. Hamilton went to Aldrich to attend the funeral of his father, Jonathan Hamilton, who died last Wednesday. He reports that farmers are still cutting their grain in that section, and that corn is not so promising as with us. The latter crop was badly set back by a frost in June.
Mrs. Sarah Hamilton died on 23 February 1885.
Elder Jonathan Hamilton died on 19 August 1885.

General Notes
DAR National Record 357806
Elder Jonathan Hamilton was born in Harmony (Ripley), Maine on 15 July 1801. He married Sarah Clark in about 1820 and had a family of nine children. He became a preacher in the mid 1820s starting his own sect known as the Hamilton Christians. Under his leadership many new churches and preachers were added to his "Hamiltonites" in Maine. Elder Hamilton became a follower of Elder William Miller, the founder of the Seventh Day Adventista (believing in the second coming of Christ in 1843) and as an Adventist preached in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia during these years. He was expelled from his church for "gross immoralities" and did little preaching after this. He resorted to farming and doctoring eventually moving to Minnesota in the 1870s with some of his children. Mrs. Sarah Hamilton died at French Lake Township, MN on 23 February 1885. Elder Jonathan Hamilton died at Aldrich, MN on 19 August 1885.

From Samuel Hart Hamilton's Diary:
My father's family---JONATHAN HAMILTON--born in Harmony, Maine July 15, 1801 died August 18, 1885 at the Aldrich Hotel, Aldrich, Minnesota and lies buried on the farm of a Mr. Armstrong about 1/2 mile from the station. (this is as of 1892 and his remains were taken up in 1987 and re-buried in the family cemetery on the old S. H. Hamilton homestead in Germania Township, Todd County, Minnesota.) SARAH CLARK his wife born in Epping, N.H. Jan 1. 1802. She died at my brother J.N.'s (Jonathan Noble Hamilton) house Feb 29, 1885. They were married in Ripley, now Cambridge, Maine in 1820 by Justice of the Peace.
Their children were SIMEON who did an infant; ELIJAH born Feb. 4, 1823, died Dec. 25, 1888 in Exeter, Maine. His first wife CATHERINE LANGLEY died in 1840's. They had 2 children, SARAH A. and CATHERINE L. both born in Ornsville, Maine. SARAH married JOSIAH THOMPSON of Lee, N.H. in the 1860's; died in Minneapolis, Minnesota 1874 of diphtheria. They left 2 children, KATE and ELLA: this should be they had 2 children as it makes it sound as both Sarah and Josiah died in 1874. The 1880 census finds Josiah alive with a new wife. ELIJAH's 2nd wife was IRENE LANGLY (this is the sister to Catherine Elijah's first wife.) Their 3rd child, ROBERT LEWIS HAMILTON was married to LUCINDA CURTISS of Columbia, N.Y. in the 1850's. They had 2 children LEWIS and LIBBIE. LEWIS was born in New Haven, Conn. He is an artisan and lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. & is unmarried (1892). LIBBIE was married to a Doctor and is herself a practicing physician in Brooklyn. They have 2 children.
