JPP- TlCON • EROG VOLUME XVL TICONDEROGA, N. Y- THUBSDAY. JUNE 6< 1889. ,X; 1 General John Hammond. Gea. John Hammond, who ha* been closely identified with the taunt* inter- eats of tbif part of the state, and whose name will always .brighten the Military anoate of state aod nation, died of ca- iarrhai «oM«mptioD at his home IP Crown Point, on Tfeesoay afternoon, May 28, m$. For iix years past fait health had flowly but steadily fatted, bat he'jfougbt tbe battle of life manfally, seeking, with characteristic eelf-eacriftoe, to ward tnffertng and trouble from oth- ers. For teree montht before hit death he did not know what it was to enjoy a single night of restful slumber. Such sleep ae bo obtained came only la snatches while in a sitting postaie. John HammoLd was born ia Crown Point, Aug. 17,1827. Hit father, Chan. F. Hammond, had settled there several jean previons, and enraged actively io business. Tbe name and repatation of his father, and now the name and repu- tation of the son, are a part of the his- tory of the town. Gen. Hammond was liberally educated, not only in book lor*, bat also in the details of the wide and increasing business that his father con- ducted. When in his 22d year, Gen. Hammond joined a party of \forty- leers' 7 for the adventurous overland jfurney to the Pacific, tor five month* jpe party faced the dangers and difficul- ties of the trip \across the plains,\ and j the safety and success ot the little com- (pacy was due in no small measure to the perseverance and vigilance of Gen. Ham- mond. It was a frequently expressed in- tention of Gen. Hammond to pat in » adventurous trip, but death came to3 soon. After a stay of two years m €alifojH nia he came home to relieve his father of a portion of the cares of his steadily and widely increasing interest*. Ajear later, he married and gave himself ea- gerly to business After nine years of • steady work and household joy?, came clarion call to arms. It needed n$ summons to rouse the I: Hammond'§ nature, and trof to g#] the days wast by t his interest in the wel- fare of tbe town seemed to increase. Any QM who knew his life in Crows Point cannot epeak moderately of the place he filled there, Into almoet every home fa Crown Point, death entered when he struck down John Hararoood. The Coogregatiooal church owes to hie planning, foresight and generosity the convenieooes of the Hammeod chapel. To hUlort of reading, awl his interest In tbe weft-being of the community, the founding and fostering of the Chapel Library at Crown Point is doe, and many another «Jterprise hat bees strengthened aod better eqttiped for service through his tbooghtfol care. Or his personal kindness and generosity new evidences are continually coming to light In no place will John Hammond be .more missed than ia the homes of the lowly poor. His ear and hts heart were ever opea to tiie cry of the suffering, and his hand and purse were swift to answer the call. One instance of his tender sym- pathy and aid will show how he was con- stantly engaged : While the railroad to the mines was being built, he. with Mr. Hardey, the superintendent of the road, was watching, one morning, the opera- tions of a gang of mm. Two or three hours after seven, one of tHe laborers came along to begin work. Mr Hardey strongly rebuked him tot his terdineb*. The man burst into tears, and said he had beeu up all night and that bj^ ^ bad died only just before he work. He had been obliged to 1 body of to? beloved dead, that K; v ; earn the money necessary to pay Immediately mood stepped forward, and fo generooj gift of money into hi. told the man to quit work; to go b dead, a*d to come to him for any sary additional funds. Such ready pympathy and aid as tfe Gen. Hammond's came pie of Crown Point. w \To sav that Gen.

The body was then borne to the porch in front of the church, and over 1200 ptonk looked for the last time on the form of Gen. Hammond.

Hammond's own thought had planned, and hand beautified. At tbe grave the beautifal ritual of tbe Grand Army was used in committing tbe body to the grave, Commander Deane, Chaplain Hagar, Comrades Johnson and Peace taking part in the service. Every word of tbe service seemed to have been written especially for the dead soldier. During all tbe ceremonies the coffin had been draped with tbe beautiful flag of the land he loved so well, and almost* the la*t thing was to remove the banner from the casket. The body was lowered into the-] grave by Gen. Hammond's *on$, and inti- mate personal friends. Everything in the ceremonies, we think, was exactly as Gen. Hammond would have wished, ecu Id he have expressed his desire. Unostentatious, yet impressive^ erderly, yet without undue formality. I A noticeable thing wa* the evident ma ifestation by the large company gather of sincere respect and mourning for Ge Hammond. Just after the casket h *'\\^ lowered into the grave, the fami j,n.

For a - considerable time, while holding the rank J of Colonel of his regiment, he was com- mander of the brigade to which it was attached. Gallant, brave and efficient, he made his mark among the cavalry officers of the war. At tbe expiration of three years of military service, Colonel Hammond made application to be mus- • tered oat, to the sore disappointment of his superiors in rank, who heartily ap- preciated his military genius. He was wounded twice; in the right hand at Winchester, Va., Sept. 3, 1863, and at Ashland, Va., June 4,1864, when a ball glancing upon his scabbard with suffi- ; cient force to dent it, so that the sabre could not be drawn, passed into the ankle, and inflicted an injury from which he suffered daring the remainder of his life. iioeral donatioiw to aepply pressiag wants.\ Money, time, personal service, all these Gen. Hammond gave liberally, and many an old hero's going down into the dark valley has been made easy by hit sympathy and care. Daring the latter days of his life, the almost constant inquiry was, \How is Gen. Hammond?\ an inquiry confined not to Crown Point alone, but made Wherever the patriotism, tbe tender $jm I pathy, thready aid. and noble manli- ness of the man were known, and tin- cere and tender grief was in every heart, when it was known that the command of the Great Commander had been heard and obeyed. Death came easily, and quietiy, and none of the watchers knew whea the soul separated from the body. It was very fitting that hit funeral services should be held on Memorial Day. He had hoped, almost to the last, that he might ride with the procession for at least a part of the way in its round among the graves of the patriot dead, I Returning home, Gen. Hammond look up the details of bonness life, and had much to do with the development of the resources^ Essex county, and this part of the state. As president of the Crown Point Iron Co., he established tbe for- naces at Crown Point, and built the rail* road to the mines, and thns added largely to the development of the material re- sources of the tows. His executive en- ergy was largely instrumental io poshing - through the Whitehall and Pittsburgh R. R, and be was president of the corpo- ration when the construction of the rail- road was practically assured. Among the positions of honor held by | but, instead, fa> body was committed to him was that of State Prison Inspector from 1867 to 1870. Later, he was elected Representative in^the^ 46th^^raL47tk Congresses from this Congressional Dis- trict, and his candidacy and election were enthusiastically hailed throughout the state, and wherever his unswerving patriotism and loyalty were known. As everywhere and always, Gen. Hammond discharged his Congressional duties with the grave. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Memorial Day, prayer was said at Gen. Hammond's late residence, and the sad procession made its way to the Con- gregational church, where the services were to be held. To three comrades, Major £. S. Barker, C. M. Pease, E. M. Johnson, and three citizens, J. C. Bre- voort, Theodore Locke and Frederick Petty was the care of the worn and wasted body given, while a large com- pany, including every man of note in tbe county and this part of the state acted as booorary bearers of the dead. Just be- hind tbe hearse was led by a groom, Gen. ad's fai (riti boots reversed, sabre turned, and stirrup* over the saddle. The bridle and trap- r were twined with offered by Rev. Chas. L.

After his Congressional ser- ice, he returned to Crown Point. Ad p Hammond Post, No. 533, G. A. R., with visiting comrades, acted as escort to their dead comrade.
