DEATH OF JUDGE A.P. HAMMOND-
Hon. A.P. Hammond quietly passed away at his residence in this city at 4 o'clock this morning. Mr. Hammond has been quite feeble since the latter part of December, but not until within the past two or three days has his condition been considered alarming. He was up and dressed, yesterday, and sat for a time with his family, and walked to and from his room without assistance. His death was, therefore, of that suddenness that produces a shock to his family and friends, but his last hours were peaceful and quiet, a fitting end of a long, honest and active life. No man was more highly esteemed than A.P. Hammond; none has been more honored in his sphere than he. His life was a useful one, and a familiar and loved form will long be missed by the people of this county, and particularly of this city, where he has resided for nearly 22 years.
Mr. Hammond was born in the state of New York 68 years ago, whence he removed with his parents to the state of Indiana at the age of ten. He was graduated from Green Castle, Indiana, studied law, and for a number of years at various times successfully practiced his profession. About 45 years ago Mr. Hammond was married to Miss Elizabeth Schermerhorn, in Ohio, where for some years he resided. To them were born Albert, Sarah and John, all living. His wife died about 35 years ago in South Dakota, where he was residing at that time and where he afterward married Mrs. Emma Howard, the present wife, who survives him. To them were born Grace, now Mrs. Turner, Frank, now a Postal Route Agent running between here and San Francisco, Kate, now the wife of Chas. Young of Gold Hill, Nellie, now the wife of Lee Minkler, Thos. W. and Robert both residing at home. Mrs. Thos. James, wife of the Supt. of the Shorty-Hope Mining Co., is the daughter of Mrs. Hammond by her first husband.
Mr. Hammond has always been a staunch and active republican, and in his earlier days has been honored with many positions of confidence and trust and was for many years a very active and effective orator and stump speaker; one who always strove for purity in politics and for the best interests of his country, his patriotism was of that character most needed and most highly valued by the better classes. His own life was a pure and upright one, and after he ceased to be active in campaigns, his history and example continued to teach good lessons. He was at one time a member of the legislature of Wisconsin and for two terms served in the same capacity in South Dakota. His life has been a varied one, but until a very few years ago an active one, sometimes engaged in practicing law, sometimes in the lumbering business, at other times a civil engineer, but at all times upright in his dealings, careful and methodical in his business. He came to Ashland with his family in 1876 where he has resided continuously since. In 1881 he was appointed postmaster here by President Arthur and held that position for five years, giving place to his successor on the election of President Cleveland. Under President Harrison he was again appointed postmaster which position he held until the close of his term. None has given greater satisfaction in that office, which is by far the most important in this community, than he. Two years ago, Mr. Hammond was elected to the position of Justice of the Peace which position he still held at the time of his death. As a Justice of the Peace his judgments and decisions were of that high and dignified character seldom seen in the office of a Justice of the Peace. Deliberate and cool headed he never became embarrassed or confused, and has for many years been a familiar figure on the platforms during political meetings in this county. Mr. Hammond goes to his rest honored and mourned by a loving family, not broken until now, and by a community in which he has lived so long.
Mourning the death of A.P. Hammond is not without pleasant recollections. One who has made his home a happy one, who has made the community better for having lived in it, who has rounded out a life of good deeds, and who has died at an advanced age without agony or pain furnishes subject for consolation. Long and kindly will he be remembered.
