Died. HAMMOND - In Virgil, N.Y., Oct. 17th, Mr. Thomas HAMMOND, aged 62.
Well do I remember the last 'good-by" spoken [ ] his kind and sincere wishes for my welfare. Marked I then his faltering footsteps, his wasting strength, and feared that Death had fixed his firm, cold grasp upon him, and that it could not be shaken off. He, too, realized his end was near. Indeed, our fears were too true - too soon, it seems they came to pass. That sincere welcome, that kind greeting of his, we all shall miss. A true and loving husband and affectionate father has gone. Although a fond mother and wife is left to welcome the children home, relatives and friends when they may come, still there is a void in the family circle which cannot be filled. All must feel it who enter therein. Upright and conscientious in all his dealings, the community has lost a respected citizen, kind generous and forbearing. Indeed, it might truly be said, too much so. Though it may seem hard, remember what is our loss is his eternal gain.
