The area around the Lost Creek Friends Meeting House was swampy and illness was very common. Malaria, Typhoid Fever, and other similar diseases took a toll on the residents.
In the summer of 1824 such an epidemic swept through the community. William, and two other of Issac and Mary's children succumbed to such an illness. Within weeks Issac and Mary would loose three of their five children.
Ironically Mary wuld give birth to a healthy son, Issac Aaron Hammer, that same year. Issac Aaron would grow to manhood and die in 1895, Chicago, IL.
Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
