"Algwynne W. Hamilton" was actually Eric Algwynne Wahlin, son of dairy engineer Eric Adolph Wahlin (of Sweden) and coloratura soprano Elizabeth Ann Collins (of London). He was born in London, not Sweden. Preferred to be called Algwynne. After attending Hamilton College changed his name to Algwynne W. Hamilton. Source: niece Sigrid Aileen Spohn (dec.) of Bainbridge, NY, who called him "Uncle Algwynne". Her mother was Sigrid Aida Wahlin, Eric Algwynne's sister.
ReplyDeleteThis comment is so amazing! My grandfather, Eric Algwynne Hamilton was born, according to his 1918 Registration Card, 18 April 1886, his Nationality was British and his mother was Mrs. E. A, Vohlien of Antwerp. He was a Senior in the 1914 General Theological Seminary in Brooklyn,NY. In my opinion, Vohlien and Wahlin are too similar to be a coincidence.
