The first American nurse to die in the war, she was buried in France with honors. The service tomorrow will include an address by the Rev. Henry Gekeler, pastor of the Central Avenue Reformed Church, who was in charge of Bible study at the hospital when Miss Hamilton was in training. Mrs. William F.
