Elizabeth Ellen Brading, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Brading was born March 1, 1880 upon a farm four miles northeast of Tabor. Here she grew to womanhood and here on March 6, 1901 she was united in marriage to Frank Hammers. After a few years spent on neighboring farms in Mills and Fremont counties, Mr. and Mrs. Hammers came to the home farm to live in 1917; here she spent the rest of her life, and here, after an illness of several days, she passed away quietly in her sleep Feb. 28, just one day before her 78th birthday. Her entire life was spent in this community, 62 years of it upon the same home place in Rawles Township. She was known and respected by a wide circle of friends.

Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hammers, both of whom survive: Cloid Brading Hammers of Los Angeles, and Vesta Roberta Ruse of Tabor. There also survive four grandchildren, Cloid B. Hammers Jr., and Catherine Elizabeth Hammers of Los Angeles; Peggy Ruse Perkins and Larry Ruse of Tabor; two great grandchildren and one sister, Edna Brading Genson of Des Moines. One brother R. W. Brading, preceded her in death.

When a young girl, Mrs. Hammers united with the Christian church. She was long a member of the Social Neighbors Club. To these organizations she gave active support as long as her health permitted. She was a true homemaker, always devoted to her family and their welfare was the chief aim of her life of service.

Interment was in the Tabor Cemetery.
Death was 28 Feb 1958
