The Daily Tribune, March 2, 1973
-------------------------------------------
A man who witnessed the beginning of a new era when the Lucas gusher came in at Spindletop some 70 years ago died yesterday at the age of 100.
 
Curtis G. Hamill was standing on a derrick platform 40 feet off the ground January 10, 1901, when the gusher hit at Spindletop Hill south of Beaumont, Texas. The full force of the stream of oil hit Hamill in the face, signaling the start of the greatest oil boom in history. He landed on the derrick floor below, miraculously uninjured.
 
Hamill, whose son, P. R. Hamill lives in Bay City, was born in January born in January 24, 1872, in Iowa and also lived for a time in Pennsylvania before moving to Texas.
 
He led a farm boy’s life through much of his youth and was forced to leave Baylor University after a serious case of pneumonia.
 
He met his wife, the former Eva Estelle Smith, in Bell County while he was selling smoothing irons from house to house. They were married in 1893.
 
After acquiring a farm near Waco, he was ruined by a sudden storm. He went to work for a Waco dairy but soon was offered a job by elder brother, Jim, who broke into the drilling business by working on the first great artesian well in Texas. Younger brother, Al, was a partner in the firm, called Hamill Brothers of Corsicana.
 
Hamill accepted the job and that led him to the derrick platform and the Lucal Well at Spindletop.
 
On his 97th birthday, he looked back on the historic moment.
 
“If there hadn’t been a Spindletop, there would be no oil business today,” he said. “It was sure something to be a part of it. I’m glad I was there but I’d hate to go through it all again.”
 
Survivors include two sons, Claude of Houston and P. R. of Bay City, Tex.; a daughter, Ethel Semple of Burney, Tex., and two grandchildren.
 
The funeral service will be held Saturday afternoon in the First Baptist Church at Bay City. Burial will be in Cedarvale Cemetery at Bay City.

1116 Daniel Burke, planter, soldier, Judge, and Legislator,
the oldest son of Nimrod Burke, Jr., and Elizabeth
(Butler)

Burke, was born May 13, 1836, at the old Burke Plantation
in Turkey Creek District. He died at his home in
Allentown, Wilkinson County, Georgia, on April 24, 1907,
and his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery of
Pleasant Plains Church.

His early education was obtained at the Turkey Creek
Academy, and Harrison Academy. For two years he studied
in the State of North Carolina. He completed his study in
school at Macon, Georgia. His father, Nimrod Burke, Jr.,
was one of the original trustees of the Harrison Academy.
He acquired a good education.

He was married on July 3, 1856, in Wilkinson County,
Georgia, to Miss Millie A. Hardie, the daughter of Joel
Hardie and Margaret (Patterson) Hardie. She made her home
for more than ten years immediately before her death,
with a daughter, Annie Mae, wife of Walter B. Branan, of
Gordon, Georgia, where she died on June 4, 1920, and was
buried by the side of her husband, Daniel Burke.

He contributed liberally of his time and substance to the
upbuilding of the state and the community in which he
lived. He was one of the principal builders of the old
Pleasant Plains School, where he served as trustee for a
number of years. He was a churchman, a Mason, and a
Democrat. He was a loyal member of the New Providence
Church (Baptist). He served as Worshipful Master of the
Irwinton, Georgia, Masonic Lodge, of which he was a
member.

He volunteered as a soldier in behalf of the principles
for which the Southern Confederacy stood and in which he
and the people of the South firmly believed to be right,
and on August 22, 1862, enlisted in Company F of the
historic Third Georgia Regiment, in Wright's Brigade, and
served in the army of Virginia under General Robert E.
Lee.

He fought throughout the War between the States, until he
was wounded almost mortally on May 14, 1864, while
engaged in the Battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse,
Virginia. No man fought more bravely than did he in the
terrific battles in which this regiment was engaged. He
was in that magnificent charge made by this regiment on the slopes of
Cemetery Ridge at the Battle of Gettysburg, which
immortalized these men.

While engaged in the Battle of Spottsylvania Courthouse
he was wounded, being shot in the right eye, a fragment
of the shell passing through and out of his right ear.
His comrade, W.F. (One Armed Frank) Cannon, seeing him
lying in a pool of water, dragged him out, and carried
him, on his back, off the battlefield. He recuperated in
a hospital in Virginia, where he was nursed by Mrs.
Morgan, who kept his wound treated and provided him with
food. He returned to his home in Wilkinson County,
Georgia, on June 9, 1864. In appreciation of the services
tendered to him by Mrs. Morgan, he gave her thirty
dollars each month as long as she lived. He received a
pension.

He was loved by those who knew him and regarded as a good
business man. As the holder of considerable Confederate
money and as owner of a large number of slaves, he
sustained a great loss as a result of the War Between the
States. He was a Democrat and took an active interest in
politics. In 1865 he was made a Justice of the Inferior
Court, a position he held until the court was abolished.
Later he served as Representative from Wilkinson County
in the General Assembly of Georgia. He was a large
planter and land owner. He erected, at large expense, a
mill on Cedar Creek, known as Burke's Mill. He amassed
considerable property and at one time was the largest
taxpayer in the county. At his death he was perhaps the
wealthiest man living in that section of Wilkinson
County.
