Dec. 4;h, 1912, about 7 o'clock. lii> remains were brought to Abbeville, his former home, on Thursday following, over liio Southern, on the 11 o'clock train, and were at once escorted to the home of his brother, Mr. Joe Hammond, by a number1 I .li..?|- ,111,111.1 ,.<?? lilHiLM., I* I ? >IIM VC ?

At three o'clock his remains were taken to the Methodist church, and after a short service by the pastor, Rev. G. (J. .Leonard, they were carried to Upper Long Cane where the funeral services were concluded, after which interment was made %besido ! loved ones gone before. The deceased came from his country home to Abbeville when quite a young j man, where he has been identified with f this people and their interests as a busi ness man ever since,nearly 50 years; hold ing many places of trust and importance in each anil all of them, he was faithful and true and conducted all to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. He was a true and valiant soldier, serving through the entire war between the States. His watchword through life seemed to be "duty," as he was always true to the discharge of his duties in all things, never allowing anything else to come before duty. He worked his way up from a poor boy to a nice competency and retired a few years ago from business, leaving a nice sum to each one of his children. He was a man of quiet demeanor, gentle manner and of few words. He was a faithful and conscientious member of rthe Methodist church of this city ever since his early manhood, always working and giving most liberally of his means to its every suppo?t. In summing up his life we can truthfully j say it is indeed worthy o! emulation, and ! although it is finished on earth, yet will its ] influence and good works go on down J through the ages and have their effect j upon generations yet to come. He will be | missed in Abbeville in more than one way, and his place will be hard to fill. Ho is gone and his loved ones mourn not j as those without hope, for he Was "robed j and ready," only waiting the coming of | the Bridegroom. For him death had no' fear, nor the grave any victory. With him j all was well. The immediate loved ones who survive j him are two sons, C. P. and Gaines Ham mond; three daughters, Mrs. L. D. Cald well, Mrs. I3ascomb Brogden and Mrs. (J. A. Bone; two brothers, Messrs. A. B. and Joe Hammond; three sisters, Mrs. Fannie Latimer, Mrs. Sullio Penney, and Mrs. Wanamaker; all of whom have the heart felt sympathy of hosts of friends. Relatives attending the funeral from a distance were: Mr. A. B. Hammond and daughter, Miss Lillian, and Mr. Frank Hammond, all of Columbia; Miss Alleen Hammond, Spartanburg; Master Rutledge I Hammond, Greenwood. We have written this as if the deceased were an Abbeville man, for while he was living around among his children for the past few years, yet Abbeville has a better claim on him than any other place.
