An Old Settler Gone.
Samuel S. Hammond died at his home in Harlan township, this county, last Friday morning, May 31, 1889, of paralysis, aged 62 years. Mr. Hammond settled here in 1871 coming here from Muskingum county, Ohio. He was among the first settlers of this county, and is one of the few who remained continuously upon their lands all through the discouraging times of the early days. He was an enterprising and successful farmer, and one of Smith county's best and most respected citizens. His death came suddenly and unexpectedly, though he had been almost helpless for two years past from repeated attacks of the disease of which he died. Seven children, four sons and three daughters, received his tender care and fatherly admonition and are left the bright example of his blameless life. One of his sons, P.H. Hammond Esq., is a resident of this city; the other children except Sylvanus, who is away temporarily, are living in the well known "Hammond neighborhood" near their father.
The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, and was the largest ever held in that part of the county, the people coming long distances around to show their respect for a worthy neighbor and a good man.
