| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1897 and Tiffany 1910 call this the Hamilton Memorial Window because Mrs. Hamilton was one of the donors and likely the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1897, TIFF1910, DUNC1980] |

Sperry was working independently in 1907, hence the signature, but possibly Tiffany Studios helped make the window [DEDUCED] |

The inscription has the wrong year of death [DEDUCED] |
