Lost Medal of Honor Recipiet's

Classification: Military
Surnames: Hillock; Hamilton
Trying to locate the final resting places for two 7th Cavalry troopers that were awarded the MOH for actions at Wounded Knee, S. D., on 29 Dec. 1890.

Private Marvin C. Hillock, United States Army, for distinguished bravery on 29 December 1890, while serving with Company B, 7th U.S. Cavalry, in action at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota.

Private Mathew H. Hamilton, United States Army, for bravery in action on 29 December 1890, while serving with Company G, 7th U.S. Cavalry, in action at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota.

The last record I have for Hillock is a marriage certificate dated 1911 in Renfrew, Ontario. His wife was buried in Ashdod, Ontario

The last record I have for Hamilton is the 1900 U.S. Census listing him as a Packmaster stationed with U.S. Forces in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba. Most Medal of Honor sites list his birth place as Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, but the majority of his military records state Stranraer, Wigtownshire, Scotland.
