Stewart C. Hammond, Early Settler, Is an Example of a Life Well Spent The news of the death of Stewart C. Hammond, at the county hospital, Friday afternoon was feceived with genuine sorrow throughout the county. His death removes one of the best citizens that Jasper county has ever had. Stewart C. Hammond spent practica.iy ail of his life in Jasper county. He was one of the earliest settlers in this section ano helped to bear his part in the period that brought Jasper county from its primitive condition of civilization. He has been a witness and a factor in the many -events which are recorded in the progress of this community. Mr. Hammond’s occupation was that of ’a farmer . In that capacity he was also a material factor in .the advancement of the farm land . He helped to clear and drain the land, which now comprises the very best and most productive farms in Jasper county, and also helped in the construction of the very first roads. Deceased was bom October 24, 1827 k When but a child he with his parents came to Vermillion county, Indiana, thence moving to Illinois, where they lived for a very short period, coming back to- Monticello, Indiana. 1837 found the family back again in Jasper county where Mr. Hammond continued- to reside until called to his last rest.

In December 1856, deceased was married to Miss Rebecca Pillars, who preceded him to the grave, passing away November 1, 1899. To this union seven children were born, five of whom survive him, namely: Charles G. Hammond, of Big Rapids, Michigan; Joseph P. Hammond, of Rensselaer; Mrs. Clinton Brown; Mrs. M. I. Adams, of this county and Mrs. Rose V. Harold, of Spencer, Indiana One sister, Mrs. Samuel Sparling, of Arkansas City, Kansas, al so su rvrves him. Mr. Hammond, joined the Free WuS Baptist church when a young man and has always been a devoted member of that denomination. A life well spent and having lived to the best of his ability is that of Stewart C. Hammond. His life and deeds of kindness are ones that will forever linger with us.
