Death of Harrison Hammond
Harrison Hammond, aged sixty-five years, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 22 at 8:45 in the morning at the Samaritan hospital in Sioux City.
For several weeks he had been suffering from gangrene in his foot and was removed to the hospital that he might have every attention that medical skill could give. The progress of the disease could not be stayed and he peacefully passed into the great beyond. About three years ago Mr. Hammond was very sick with blood poison in his hand and from the sickness he never fully recovered.
Harrison Hammond was born August 27, 1840, in Cataraugus county, N.Y. and with his parents moved to Wanpaca county, Wis. when he was seventeen years old. He enlisted and was sergeant of Co. C 44th Wisconsin Volunteers. On November 1, 1868 he was married to Emma Robinson at Weayauwega, Wis. In 1875 he removed to Iowa, in 1882 came to Plainview, Nebr. and moved to Randolph in August 1901. Six children were born to him, three dying in childhood, and three surviving their father as follows: Mrs. Grace Puffer of Deadwood, Lucy and Emory Hammond of Randolph. His loving wife, the companion of his joys and sorrows for thirty-seven years was constantly at his side during his final illness and his three children were also with him. These hearts are bowed in grief because of this earthly parting with one whose devotion to them was strong and true.
The funeral was conducted from the house at nine o'clock this morning by Rev. V. A. Weir and Rev. F. A. High. Deceased was a member of the Masonic order for thirty years and the funeral was in their charge. The funeral cortege went to Plainview and the burial was made beside his father there. – Randolph Times
