greatest merchants and the owner of the
world famous Hamlin Stock Farm, the
home of "Marnbrino King," "Chimes,"
"Almont, Jr." and the beautiful record
breaking "Belle Hamlin," names once to
conjure with in the sportsman's world.
The Hamlins in earlier generations in-
termarried with the Hallett family of
New England, and in several instances
Hallett was used as a given name. This
was the case in this branch, a Hallett
Hamblin, of Cayuga, New York, being
the father of Rev. Milton Hamblin, and
grandfather of Dr. Frank Milton Hamb-
lin, as the name seems to be spelled in
this branch. Dr. Hamblin was for ten
years in medical practice in New York
State, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, before
coming to Bristol, Connecticut, where he
has been in continuous and successful
practice since 1909. Fie practices accord-
ing to the school founded by the great
physician, Hahnemann, and has estab-
lished in Bristol a large clientele of de-
voted followers of that school of medicine
and of Dr. Hamblin, its talented ex-
ponent.
Rev. Milton Hamblin was born in Ca-
yuga, New York, in 1843, and died in
1887. He was educated for the ministry,
but before ordination engaged in the con-
flict raging between the armed forces of
the North and South. He enlisted in the
One Hundred Eleventh Regiment, New
York Volunteer Infantry, won a lieuten-
ant's bars for bravery and fought until
severely wounded at Gettysburg. He
was invalided home and when peace
came both to his beloved land and to his
own tortured body he entered the service
of the Prince of Peace. He was regularly
ordained a minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and was settled pas-
tor over churches in Ithaca, Syracuse,
Rochester and other New York State
churches. Rev. Milton Hamblin married
