      HAMILTON A. WILKISON,
  
  [p. 653] attorney-at-law at New Castle and a member of the prominent
  firm of Akens, Wilkison, Lockhart & Chambers, and a member of the
  Lawrence County Bar Association, was born in Shenango Township, Lawrence
  County, Pennsylvania, in 1872, and is a son of Joseph M. and Sarah

  honorable families of Lawrence County.
  
  H. A. Wilkison was afforded excellent educational opportunities, his
  advantages including attendance at the Volant Academy and the Slippery
  Rock State Normal School. He entered upon the study of law in the office
  of his uncle, C. H. Akens, at New Castle, and he was admitted to the bar
  in March, 1898. He continued in the office of his uncle, engaged,
  however, in individual practice until April, 1907, when he became a
  member of the firm of Akens, Wilkison, Lockhart & Chambers.
  
  In 1900 Mr. Wilkison was married to Miss Ella F. Davidson, who is a
  daughter of Thomas D. Davidson, of New Castle. Mrs. Wilkison was born
  and reared in North Beaver Township, graduated from the New Castle High
  School and for some five years was a very acceptable teacher in the
  public schools of that city. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkison have three children:
  Katherine E., Walter D. and Loyal A. They belong to the Highland United
  Presbyterian Church, and Mr. Wilkison is secretary of the congregation
  and a member of the Board of Trustees. In politics he is a Democrat.
