and he sunk his fortune in Colorado min
ing schemes. Broken in fortune and in
health, he died there about 1870.
Again Mrs. Bailey found her way to the
Pacific coast, and two years later, at
Pioche, Lincoln county, Nevada, March
70, 1877, she married Elisha g. Hammond.
ELISHA HAMMOND.
Mr.. Hammond was q rover himself, but
unlike most rolling stones, he had col
lected considerable s'moss" in the shape
of comfortable fortune. Mr.. Hammond
was born at Brookfield, Mass, eighty-six
years ago. His family was prominent
one. His father was a distinguished law
yer and statesman.
Through an uncle, David Henshaw,
secretary of the navy under President
Tyler, Elisha Hammond received an ap-
pointment to the West Point military
academy, and spent over two years there
during the academy days OF Grant and
Sherman. But young Hammond did not
remain to be graduated. He was s'too
much of rover, as he puts it himself, and
this, combined with poor health at the
time, caused him to leave school and set
his face toward the golden West.
For years he roamed in wide fields as a
mining prospector. Wherever there was
new ''strike", there was Elisha Hammond
among the first, ana sometimes he was
alone. But the spirit of the rover
beckoned him ever on, and before the last
of the ''rush" was in, Elisha Hammond
was OIL for new fields. No country was too
far away for him; if there was prospect of
gold in new field in Australia, or in Asia,
there went Elisha Hammond; and SO, ever
beckoned on by the spirit OF the rover, he
completed the circuit OF the world.
Those were days of adventure and scenes
OF adventure-dsys when might was right
and the six-shooter was law. Many an
exciting tale in which he figured could
Elisha Hammond tell to-day if his mind
was as clear as in those days when he was
q world rover.
After their marriage at Phoebe, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hammond lived in California. No
need had they then to work, and no
thought had they for the morrow. At
Santa Barbara, at San Francisco, at Berk-
ley, they lived at different times, and en-
tertained lavishly. But they were
''spenders", and they spent beyond their
means. sob! We didn't think of grow
ing old! We didn't think Of money"
-Four years ago they came back to Maine.
A thoughless investment in farm at
Etna took almost the last that remained
OF their little money Then they turned
back to the old home of Maria J. Gordon
at North Sullivan. The house where she
was born was concentrating founda-
ion walls marked the spot where it had
stood. But near by they found home,
and here they sit and think OF the past
and the future. II they could only
forget the future now as they did in those
days when they should not have forgotten
it! -,"
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond have no chill
dren living. A son of Mr.. Hammond by a
previous marriage-Clarence w. Ham
mond,' vice. president OF the Peoples
national bank Of Buffalo, N. Y.-died q
few years ago.
