Biography

 

The collection contains the personal papers and business records of several generations of the Hamlin family of Maine.  It centers on the papers of Hannibal Hamlin and his wife, Ellen Emery Hamlin, Hannibal Hamlin’s sons, Charles, Cyrus, Hannibal E., and Frank Hamlin, and  Charles Hamlin’s son, Charles E. Hamlin.  It also contains papers of Hannibal Hamlin’s brother, Elijah L. Hamlin and Elijah’s son, Augustus C. Hamlin.

 

Hannibal Hamlin was born in 1809 in Paris Hill, Maine, the son of Cyrus and Anna Livermore Hamlin. He was educated at Hebron Academy and studied law in the office of Fessenden & Deblois in Portland. He was admitted to the bar in 1833 and began to practice law in Hampden, Maine. A Democrat, he represented Hampden in the Maine legislature from 1836 to 1841 and then in 1847, serving as speaker for three terms.  In 1842 he was elected to Congress, serving from 1843 to 1847.  In 1848 he was elected to the U.S.  Senate to finish the term of John Fairfield, who had died in office.  Hamlin was elected in 1851 for a full term, becoming chairman of the Committee on Commerce.  Increasingly dissatisfield with the Democratic Party’s policy toward slavery, Hamlin became a Republican in 1856.  In that year he was elected governor of Maine; he served only a few weeks as governor, resigning to begin a new term in the Senate.  In 1860 he was nominated as Abraham Lincoln’s vice-president, serving throughout Lincoln’s first term in office.  He failed to be re-nominated in 1864, returning to Maine and then acting for a short time as collector of the port of Boston.  In 1869 he was re-elected to the Senate, serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and remaining there until 1881.  At that time he was appointed by President Garfield as minister plenipotentiary to Spain, serving in that post from 1881 to 1882.  After that he returned to Bangor, Maine, spending his last years there.

 

Hannibal Hamlin was married twice: first to Sarah Jane Emery of Paris Hill in 1833, and after her death in 1855 to her half-sister, Ellen Vesta Emery, in 1856.  He and his first wife had four children: George, Charles, Cyrus and Sarah. He had two children, Hannibal E. and Frank, with his second wife.  Hannibal Hamlin died on July 4, 1891.  Ellen Hamlin died in 1925.

 

Hannibal Hamlin’s son George was born in 1835 and died in 1844.  His second son Charles, whose papers make up a major portion of the collection, was born in 1837 in Hampden. A lawyer, businessman and soldier, Charles Hamlin was in constant contact with his father and managed his affairs in Maine while the elder Hamlin was in Washington.  He attended the Hampden, Bethel and Bridgton Academies and graduated from Bowdoin College in 1857.  After reading law with his father, he was admitted to the bar in 1858, beginning a practice in Orland, Maine.  During the Civil War he served with various Maine regiments, was Assistant Adjutant-General on the staff of Major-General Hiram G. Berry, fought in the Battle of Gettysburg, and left the service in 1865 as a Brigadier-General of Volunteers.  Following the war, he resumed his law practice in Bangor, served as city solicitor, 1867, as U.S. Register in Bankruptcy, 1868-1878, and as U. S. Commissioner, 1867-1911.  He was also Reporter of Decisions of the Maine Supreme Court, 1888-1905; in this position he edited volumes 81 to 98 of the Maine Reports, writing headnotes for many of the cases.  Considered an authority on bankruptcy and insolvency law, he was the author of a book on the insolvency laws of Maine.  He was the representative from Bangor in the Maine Legislature in 1883 and 1885, serving as speaker in the second term.  He was active in the formation of loan and building associations, served as president of Eastern Maine General Hospital in Bangor, and was a trustee of the Penobscot Savings Bank.  He was also president of the Blanchard Slate Mining Company and was part owner, along with Edwin H. Thompson, of the ship “Challenger” of Bath.  He chaired the executive committee of the Maine Gettysburg Commission and was instrumental in the publication of its report, Maine at Gettysburg, in 1898.  He was also active in the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, which was formed in 1864 to preserve the battleground and to make provision for the commemorative monuments to be erected there. 

 

Charles Hamlin married Sarah P. Thompson of Topsham, Maine, in 1880, and they had four children:  Charles Eugene, Addison, Cyrus, and Edwin T. Hamlin.  Sarah Thompson Hamlin died in 1905, and Charles Hamlin died in 1911. 

 

The papers of Hannibal Hamlin’s third son, Cyrus Hamlin, are also found in this collection.  Cyrus Hamlin was born in 1839 in Hampden, Maine.  He was educated at the Hampden Academy and studied at Waterville College (now Colby College), Waterville, Maine.  He was admitted to the bar in 1860 and practiced law for a year in Kittery, Maine.  He entered military service in 1862, joining the staff of Gen. John C. Fremont.  Cyrus Hamlin was among the first to advocate enlisting African-American troops in the Union Army and was the first appointed from Maine to command a regiment of these troops, the 80th United States Colored Troops.  He commanded this regiment in battles in Louisiana and at the fall of Port Hudson.  After the war he stayed in Louisiana, practicing law in New Orleans and taking a role in public affairs of the Reconstruction period.  He died of yellow fever in New Orleans in 1867.

 

Hannibal Hamlin’s youngest sons, Hannibal E. and Frank Hamlin, are also represented in the collection.  Hannibal E. Hamlin was born in Hampden in 1858. He was educated in the Bangor public schools, graduated from Colby College in 1879 and from Boston University Law School in 1882.  He was admitted to the bar in 1883 and began practicing law in Ellsworth, Maine, in the firm of Hale & Emery, which became Hale & Hamlin shortly thereafter.  Hannibal E. Hamlin was elected to the Maine House of Representatives in 1893 and 1895, serving as chairman of the Judiciary Committee in 1895. He also served as Judge Advocate General on the staff of Maine Governor Llewellyn Powers, 1897-1904, was in the Maine Senate, 1899-1901, serving as president of the Senate in 1901, was attorney general of Maine, 1905-1908, and president of the Maine Bar Association, 1923-1924.  Hannibal E. Hamlin was unmarried and died in 1938. 

 

Frank Hamlin was born in Bangor in 1862, the youngest son of Hannibal and Ellen Hamlin.  He was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N.H., of Harvard, class of 1884, and of Boston University Law School in 1888.  After graduating from Harvard, he spent a year in the offices of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company in Chicago and returned there after graduating from law school to form the law partnership of Hamlin & Holland.  He became active in Republican party politics and was Assistant Corporation Counsel for Chicago, as well as chief attorney for the Sanitary District.  Frank Hamlin was unmarried and died in 1922.

 

The collection also contains the papers of Charles Eugene Hamlin, son of Charles and Sarah Hamlin and grandson of Hannibal Hamlin.  Charles E. Hamlin was born in Bangor in 1861. He attended the Bangor schools, graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and from Harvard in 1884.  A talented composer and playwright, he wrote songs, operas and plays which were performed in Bangor and other places to considerable success. He  lived in New York, where he worked for the New York Tribune in varying positions, including music and theater critic.  He also worked for the New York Press and was managing editor of the State, a newspaper in Albany, New York.  He later returned to New York to edit the periodical School, “a weekly devoted to the interests of school teachers.”  He was also the author of a biography of his grandfather, The Life and Times of Hannibal Hamlin, published in 1899.

 

Charles E. Hamlin married Myra Sawyer in 1886, and they had one daughter, Louise Hamlin.  Charles E. Hamlin died in 1921.

 

Myra Hamlin, whose small group of papers is contained in the collection, was a writer born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1856, the daughter of Frederick Adolphus and Delia Case Sawyer.  The family lived in Charleston, South Carolina both before and after the Civil War, and Frederick Sawyer served in various government positions during Reconstruction.  Myra Sawyer married Charles E. Hamlin in 1886 and published her first book, A Politician’s Daughter, in that year.  She also wrote a five-volume set of girls’ books, the Nan series, between 1896 and 1908.  In 1909 she was the author of a privately-printed book, Eleazer Hamlin and his Descendants: Their Homes.  In addition, she worked with her husband at School magazine, reviewed books, and gave lectures on art and literature.  She died in New York City in 1927.

 

Louise Hamlin, the daughter of Charles E. and Myra Sawyer Hamlin and the donor of large portions of the collection, was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1886. She grew up in Bangor, attended high school there and later studied at the Pratt Institute Library School in Brooklyn.  She worked for a time at the Bangor Public Library and also at the New York Public Library.  She spent her summers at Hancock Point and lived in Bangor in later life.  Louise Hamlin died in 1980.

 

The collection also contains papers of Elijah Livermore Hamlin and his son Augustus Choate Hamlin.  Elijah Hamlin, the eldest brother of Hannibal Hamlin, was born in 1800 in Livermore, Maine.  He was a lawyer, businessman and historian.  After graduating from Brown University, he studied law and set up a practice in Waterford, Maine and then moved to Columbia, Maine.  He settled in Bangor in 1835 and lived there for the rest of his life.  Active in politics, he ran for governor of Maine in 1848 and 1849, served in the legislature and was elected mayor of Bangor in 1851 and 1852.  He was appointed commissioner of the U.S. Fishery Commission by President Lincoln and served from 1860 to 1866.  He was also president of the Bangor Savings Bank and the Penobscot Mutual Insurance Company.  Known for his scientific and historical research, he was the discoverer in 1820 of Mt. Mica in Paris, Maine.  Elijah Hamlin died in 1872.

 

Augustus Choate Hamlin was born in 1829 in Columbia, Maine, the son of Elijah L. and Eliza Choate Hamlin.  He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1851 and from Harvard Medical School in 1857.  After studying in Europe for two years, he returned to Bangor to practice medicine.  In April, 1861, he entered the Civil War as assistant surgeon of the Second Maine, was promoted in 1862 to brigade surgeon, and in 1863 became a medical inspector.  He was assigned to the Department of Washington, the Army of the South, and the Department of the Southwest.  He was mustered out in December, 1865, and returned to Bangor to resume his practice.  He was mayor of Bangor in 1879 and 1880 and served as Surgeon-General of Maine from 1882 to 1886.  He made a study of minerals, especially tourmalines, and owned a quarry on Mt. Mica.  Augustus Hamlin died in 1905.

Series I:  Papers of Hannibal Hamlin

 

Sub-series 1:  Correspondence

 

The largest sub-series, correspondence, is a mixture of political and personal and begins with incoming letters, 1840’s-1891.  Correspondents include James G. Blaine, Jacob Brinkerhoff, Salmon P. Chase, Neal Dow, William Pitt Fessenden, Preston King, Thomas B. Reed, William H. Seward, and Israel Washburn, Jr.  The correspondence also includes many letters from Hamlin’s father-in-law, Stephen Emery, and his son, Charles Hamlin, who was actively involved in his father’s business affairs.

 

The sub-series also includes outgoing correspondence from Hannibal Hamlin, 1828-1891.  Hamlin kept no copies of his own letters, but in planning a biography of his father in 1886, Charles Hamlin appealed to recipients of his father’s letters to send them to him.  The letters included here are those received from that appeal.  Considerable correspondence from Hannibal Hamlin can also be found in the papers of Ellen Hamlin, Charles Hamlin and Elijah Hamlin.
