Other Pertinent Facts
- William's father Cicero Hamlin lived at 1335 Delaware Avenue, and his brother Harry lived at 1014 Delaware. All three were active in running American Glucose until it was sold in 1897. Buffalo's historic Hamlin Park district is named after land Cicero Hamlin owned as a horse track that was later developed into housing.
- William's wife was Kate Gates, daughter of George Gates, the sleeping car magnate of 546 Delaware. The Gates family owned the Ellicott Square Building, and Gates Circle is named after them because of a donation for the fountain made by Kate's sister.
