1Newspaper Obituary, Winnipeg Free Press 8 April 1935.
"There will be widespread regret in Winnipeg and beyond at the sudden passing of Dr. T. Glen Hamilton at a comparatively early age. His was an unusually interesting career. Of recent years he had gained an international reputation as an investigator of psychic phenomena, but before that he had an honoured place in this city as a prominent member of the medical profession and a very public-spirited citizen.
For nearly half a century he had lived in Winnipeg, and while practising his profession he found time to take part in many community activities. He was Chairman of the School Board after serving the Board for many years. Then he was a member of the Legislature. His sympathies were indicated by the fact that he was the first Chairman of the Public Playgrounds Commission, and was one of the active supporters of the Mothers' Allowance legislation. In his own profession he was a lecturer at the Medical College and became President of the Manitoba Medical Association.
His remarkable work in psychic research began some seventeen years ago. His investigations were of a purely scientific character. He was co-operating with other investigators in Great Britain and in the United States in pioneering in what was believed to be a new branch of science. His sincerity, and the extreme care with which all his investigations and experiments were conducted, were generally recognized. In spite of popular incredulity, he reported amazing manifestations purporting to be of the spirit world, and there was great interest amongst investigators elsewhere in the results which he obtained.
Dr. Hamilton was a worthy citizen of Winnipeg, and the value of his work in the particular branch of
scientific research in which he engaged, will be more fully shown in future years."2Newspaper Announcement, Winnipeg Free Press 9 Apr 1935.
