LOS ANGELES HERALD, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1905. Pg 5∼Bertice Perry Hammers was a native of Cazanobia, Illinois. As a child he moved with his parents, James A. and S. Luella Hammers, to Anthony, Kansas and lived there until 1895 when he took a job in Moline, Illinois at the Moline Plow Company factory.
In 1897 the firm sent Hammers to South America to introduce their equipment, and he worked there until his death. Several times he visited Los Angeles where his parents had relocated, and as a result he bought property there and in the Imperial Valley as investments.
On November 2, 1901 he married Josephine Lowry in Lamonte, Oklahoma, and she joined him in living in Buenos Aires. Hammers reportedly had several escapes from danger caused by the anti-American sentiment in South America during the Spanish American War. In the end he died of typhoid fever which he contracted on one of the ranches where he was installing equipment. He passed away at the British Hospital in Buenos Aires. Josephine shipped the body to Los Angeles for burial.
Bertice's widow, Josephine, apparently remarried to his brother William as when she died in 1937 she was Mrs. W. B. Hammers.
