Dorothy Hamlin

Dorothy Hamlin (1890-1919) was born to Harry L. Hamlin (1861-1934) and Katherine J. Dimon Hamlin (1868-1892) in Chicago, Illinois. Harry, who co-managed Chicago’s Grand Opera House with his family, frequented East Hampton during his time at Yale. He married Katherine Dimon in 1888, and the couple often visited East Hampton during the summer. Although she grew up in western New York, Katherine was connected to East Hampton through her father, John Dimon (1830-1904), who was a member of the Dimon family that settled in East Hampton in the 1660s.  

After Katherine’s untimely death in 1892, Harry and Dorothy moved from Chicago to New York in 1900. In 1902, Harry remarried to Mary Elkin Paxton (1875-1957), who spent summers in East Hampton as a child and shared Harry’s love of the town. After years of renting, Harry purchased Stony Hill Farm in 1906, improving the property that would go on to employ numerous East Hampton residents, provide boarding for visitors, and offer horseback riding lessons for decades.

Dorothy was an alumnus of the Ogontz School of Philadelphia and was an active member of East Hampton’s community. She volunteered at the Ladies Village Improvement Society (LVIS) Fair, was a census taker, and organized a day nursery in Chicago. She was a Red Cross volunteer in one of the last groups from New York to leave for France in 1918 before the end of World War I. 

Two weeks prior to her death, Dorothy worked in the Red Cross hospital in Manchester, England. She had enlisted in the Red Cross Recreation Hut, and worked in a Paris canteen for about a week until she contracted Spanish influenza. Dorothy suffered from the illness for a week before succumbing to the virus on January 13th, 1919. 

In 1920, Dorothy’s remains were removed from Paris and reburied in the South End Cemetery. Two years later, she was one of 161 women to be named a “gold star woman” by the Women’s Overseas Service League.

Andrew L. Gilbride

Andrew Leo Gilbride (1917-1946)  was born to Andrew L. Gilbride Jr. (1892-1929) and Elsie Catherine Shephard (1899-1995) in Sag Harbor, New York. Andrew attended St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic Parochial school in that village. In 1934, he enlisted in the United States Navy, but wasn’t called into active duty until 1935, when he reported to the Naval Training School in Newport, Rhode Island, where he originally planned to study radios. Upon completing his training, Andrew was stationed in San Diego, where he served with the Pacific Fleet until his untimely disappearance aboard the U.S.S. Juneau in 1943.

During his time in California, Gilbride met and married Rosalva Olmos Camacho (1921-2011) in November of 1938 while serving as a second class petty officer on board the U. S. S. Blue. Together, they had a son, Robert Gilbride (1940-1984), who was 2 ½ when his father was declared lost at sea. 

In 1942, Andrew was serving as the Chief Machinist’s Mate aboard the U.S.S. Juneau, a nimble warship designed to combat submarines and airplanes. The ship was deployed to support the Guadalcanal campaign in August of 1942, providing anti-aircraft support at the ensuing naval battle. During the battle, it was struck by two torpedoes in the span of one day, and sunk off the southern coast of San Cristobal Island, leaving only 10 survivors. Unfortunately, Gilbride was not in that number. He was officially reported missing in action by the Navy Department in January of 1943. 

Ultimately, Andrew Gilbride served on the U.S.S. Juneau for almost a year, and had been with the ship since its commission in February of 1942. Gilbride achieved his highest rank as Chief Machinist’s Mate only six months before his death.
