O. O. Hammerton Dead.

Word was received here Monday of the death of Oliver Hammerton, which occurred at Roswell, N. M., that morning. The body is expected to reach here for burial tomorrow, but at what time is not known, therefore no time has been set 1 soi 1 the funeral, . but lit probably will not be until Saturday or Sunday. Mr. Hammerton was formerly a mail clerk for several years; but resigned about a year’ ago and bought a small farm near New Troy, Mich. Some three weeks ago, on account of poor health, he and his wife went to New Mexico in the hope that a sojourn there would be of benefit to him. Consumption was no doubt the real cause of his death.. He leaves a wife but no children. His age was 34 years.
