351.In the 1928 city directory, she had moved to 5910 Michigan Avenue, but still listed
herself as a widow. There is no listing for her in the 1929 city directory nor any
marriage record to show that she remarried. She may have moved in with one of her married
children. Lillie C. Amelung, Widow of John Amelung, is listed in the 1927 and 1928 City
Directories. She does not show up after 1928 nor before 1927. Lillie was not a Widow as
John Amelung did not pass away until 1966.
101. Marriage Record: Iron County Marriage Records, April 10, 1888, Book 3, Page 389,
Permission given for Lillie Mitchell by her mother, Verna M. Mitchell, since she was under
age.
102. Divorce Record: No record. Lillie's daughter, Grace, remembered it was in 1922
and herself and Hattie were left behind with their father. Lillie only took the older
children with her to St. Louis.
103. By March 1922, Lillie had left her husband, John, and moved to St. Louis with her
older children. By 1927 they lived at 5832 S. Compton Avenue and she was listed in the
1927 city directory as the widow of John C. Amelung although he was actually still
living. In 1936, Lillie is listed on Hattie's death certificate as Lillie Hamlin of
3836A Ohio Street. This means that sometime between 1929 and 1936 she remarried. Her
second marriage was to William A. Hamil in St. Louis. William was born on January 27, 1873
to John and Mary Hamil. William died on May 19, 1951.
