SETH HAMMOND. Among the leading agriculturists and prominent citizens of Greenetownship, St. Joseph county, none are better known than Seth Hammond, who was born on
the homestead farm on which he now resides January 5, 1836. His paternal grandfather, James Hammond, was a native son of Pennsylvania and of Scotch-Irish ancestory, an element which has given to the United States some of her most prominent men. His son, Matthew Brown, grew to years of maturity on the old home farm in that commonwealth, and was there married to Susan McCormick, who
was also born and reared in Pennsylvania, where her father, Seth McCormick, was a representative of a prominent old family.
In 1833 Mr. and Mrs. Matthew B. Hammond began the long and toilsome journey to St.Joseph county, Indiana, via Lake Erie, and thence by teams and wagons to their destination
in South Bend, where they arrived in the following fall.
In the spring Mr. Hammond purchased a claim of a Mr. Pomeroy, who was an Indian trader, selling bright calicos, beads and fire water to the red skins, and they were very much disappointed and disgusted when they found Mr. Hammond in the place of Mr.Pomeroy and his goods. The former owner had erected a log cabin on the place, into
which the Hammonds took up their abode, but this little cabin home in time gave place to a substantial brick dwelling, which is now occupied by tenants.
Mr. Hammond developed his farm into a valuable homestead, and there he lived and labored until his life's, work was ended in death at the age of seventysix years. He devoted his entire business career to agricultural pursuits, was a Whig and Republican in his political affiliations, and was an elder in the Presbyterian church.
His wife reached the age of eighty-two years ere she was called to the home beyond, and she, too, was a valued and worthy member of the Presbyterian church. They were people
of the highest worth of character, were charitable to all, and their names will long be honored and revered in the county which they helped to build.
Ten children blessed their union, seven of whom grew to years of maturity:
William Brown, who died in Laporte county;
Sarah Maria Beard, of Decorah,Iowa;
Angeline, who died at the age of eighteen years;
Samuel, whose death occurred while he was journeying across the plains to California, at the age of twenty-three years;
Margaret, who died when young;
Cynthia Ann, who also died when young;
an infant son, deceased;
and Eliza Hammond, who died in South Bend.
Seth Hammond, a worthy son of these honored pioneer parents, spent the days of his boyhood and youth on the old farmstead in Greene township, where he was early inured
to the work of the fields and was also taught that industry and honesty were requisite qualities for success.
He attended the pioneer log school house near his home, which was primitive in its every appointment, and among the text books which he used were McGuffey's reader, Davis' arithmetic and Colburn, Brown and Clark's grammar.
On the 18th of October, 1863, in German township,
St. Joseph county, he was united in marriage to Sarah Longley, who has proved to him a worthy helpmate and a loving counselor in their journey of life together.
She was born in Madison township of St. Joseph county
November 21, 1841. Her father, Thomas Longley, was born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, of English ancestry, and was a member of a prominent old family of that commonwealth. It was represented in the war of 1812, and was in many other ways identified with the early history of the country.
For his wife Mr. Longley chose Mary Rupel, also a native of Somerset county, and a daughter of Jacob Rupel, who became one of the honored early pioneers of St. Joseph county, coming hither from his native commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Longley also took up their abode here in a very early day, dating their arrival from 1834. They first established their home southeast of Elkhart, but later came to Madison township, where both spent the remainder of their lives and now lie buried in German township, the wife and mother dying at the age of fifty-six years, while the husband reached the venerable
old age of eighty-two years. Both were worthy members of the German Baptist church.
In their family were eleven children, but only eight grew to years of maturity:
Permelia Greenwood, of Clay township;
Frances Grill, of North Manchester, Indiana;
Harriett Greenwood, of Clay township;
Martha Smith, who died at Carthage, Missouri;
Mary E. Wenger, of South Bend;
Newton, of Harris township;
Mrs. Hammond;
and Lewis, who died at the age of twenty-three years.
Mrs. Hammond was reared in her nativecounty of St. Joseph, where she received a good education in its public schools, also attending the Northern Indiana College, and before her marriage was a prominent and successful teacher.
Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hammond: Fanny, the wife of Jesse L. Drake, of Marseilles, Illinois,
and they have seven children, Fanny, Louise,
Seth Hammond, Paul Hayes, Florence, Margaret,
Dean and Fern.
Dr. Matthew Brown Hammond is a member of the faculty of the
State University at Columbus, Ohio. He has received an excellent educational training, having studied at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, in Madison, Iowa, at Columbiana, New York, in the state university at
Urbana, Illinois, and also spent three years at the state university at Columbus, Ohio. He married Sunie Butler Denham, of Columbia, Missouri, and they have one daughter, Margery.
Lewis Wilbur Hammond, the third child, received an excellent education in the home schools and in South Bend, and now resides on the old homestead, where he has a fine residence near his father's home. He married Miss Georgiana Davis, and they have
two children, Leslie Davis and Irene Esther.
In 1885 Mr. Hammond, of this review, erected his pleasant and commodious residence, at a cost of six thousand dollars, while his barn, forty-six by eighty-six feet, was
erected at a cost of forty-five hundred dollars.
The Hammond farm is one of the most beautiful rural homes in St. Joseph county, and is located seven miles southwest of South Bend.
There Mr. Hammond is extensively engaged in agricultural pursuits, and in addition is also interested to a large extent in real estate in South Bend. He is an excellent business man, frank and genial in manner, and has won and retained many friends. His political affiliations are with the Republican party, and he cast his first presidential vote for Lincoln.
Both he and his wife are worthy members of
the Presbyterian church.
