Biography	Garnet Charles William Cecil Hamilton was born on June 24, 1886, in Peel County, Ontario. He was the son of John Hamilton and Rebecca Ann Cordingley. Garnet was 11 years old when his mother passed away. From his father's first marriage, he had five siblings, and from his father's second marriage, he had two siblings. He was raised with his father's second wife, Emma Jane South, whom his father married in 1900. Garnet's father, John Hamilton Sr. purchased the east half of Concession 6, Lot 10 WHS (100 acres), Toronto Township (historic Mississauga), from John Fletcher Switzer on March 2, 1891, for $8,000. Subsequently, he acquired the southwest portion (50 acres) of the same lot, totaling 150 acres. Today, where Garnet would have grown up as a child, this area is part of Erin Mills West, located roughly at Derry and Glen Erin Roads. As a child, he attended S.S. #17 School in Toronto Township, historic Mississauga. The school was located at 2285 Derry Rd West. His future wife was a schoolmate of hers at S.S. #17, they were in the same classes as kids. He married Mary Helena Cook on June 25, 1913, in Peel, Ontario. They had one child during their marriage. Garnet worked as a farmer for his whole life. He died on March 13, 1947, in Peel, Ontario, at the age of 60, from myocarditis. His cause of death is also listed as pneumonia and Garnet also had asthma. He was buried in the Streesville Cemetery in Mississauga, Ontario.
