  1. Death Certificate, Kentucky, Jefferson County, Louisville, Registration No. 2939, William Gazlay Hamilton, died 7 September 1912 in Louisville, born 10 May 1845 in La [Louisiana]. Certificate also gives the names of his parents and their states of birth. His middle name, shown here as Gazlay, is probably incorrect; his wife’s maiden name was Gazlay so it is unlikely his middle name was also Gazlay.
