Of a family of seven brothers and sisters, only two survive. They are William B. Hammel of Clay Center, Kan. and Jacob M. Hammel of Alta, Ill.
Mr. Hammel was well known in Canton, where he had a host of friends, who greatly enjoyed meeting him at the annual soldiers' reunions, which he regularly attended, and there is deep regret among his comrades and friends generally that his long and useful life has reached its close.
