Death Of Mrs. Geo. N. Hammond

Mrs. Geo. N. Hammond, nee Frances V. Abbey, died at her home two miles west of Willis last Friday from apoplexy. She had been in her usual condition of health a few nights before having attended a Maccabee entertainment. At noon Thursday she explained to her husband that she was not feeling well and remarked that she would lie down and rest a while. On his return to the house at supper time, she was no better and a physician was summoned. When he arrived she was inconscious and never regained conscionsness. She died on Friday about 5 o'clock. The funeral occurred yesterday at 2 o'clock and she was buried in the Augusta cemetery in the Childs neighborhood.

She was born and reared in Augusta and spent most of her life there. She was connected with the auditor general's department at Lansing during the administration of Gen. Humphrey and was married to Geo. N. Hammond in 1877 and since has resided at the home where her death occurred. For several years she has been the correspondent of the Argus at Willis. She was of a sunny disposition, always seeing the bright side of life, and hence a general favorite among her friends. She was a good wife and a kind, affectionate mother. At the time of her death she was 53 years of age. She leaves a husband and one son.
