Death Of Mrs. Allen Hammond.

The remains of Mrs. Allen Hammond,
who died Monday morning at Pueblo
while en- route to Mineral Wells, Texas,
in the hope that lower altitude might
prolong her life, were brought home
Tuesday night, the trip was made from
Durango by auto.
Mrs. Hammond was stricken with
dropsy about three weeks ago. Every
thing possible was done for her relief,
and Friday of last week Mr.. Hammond,
accompanied by DR.. Lefurgey. left
with her for Mineral Wells. She spent
day in the hospital at Durango. con-
, tinuing the journey Sunday morning
they reached Pueblo when she passed
away.
The funeral services were held from
the Lebanon church yesterday morning
at 1890 o'clock, Rev. Speer of Cortez,
conducted the services. The remains
were laid to rest in the Dolores ceme-
terry.
Rev. Speer read the following obit-
uary:
Martha Davis. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Davis, was born in NORM
Flats, Province of Quebec, Canada,
March |, 1860, and died at Pueblo, Colo
RADIO, December 1s, 1916. aged Sc years,
months and 7 days.
She was married to Allen Hammond
May Ia, 1879, in Montreal, Canada. To
this union were born six children,
Norman A.. Edna Beatrice. now Mrs.
Earnest Cowling; Leona May, now
Mrs. Dick Morgan, Mabel Irene, now
Mrs. Harry Kelly, Ella Francis and
Matthew Roy, all of whom are living
| to join with the husband in mourning
| their great loss. There are also six
grandchildren and host of other
relatives and friends who feel the
weight of this grief.
Mr. and Mrs. Hammond came to this
state from Canada in the summer of
1880, and have taken part in making a
garden out of the wilderness which
they found.
Mrs. Hammond was especially known
for her readiness to lend helping
hand wherever opportunity afforded,
and better still was neighbor who
sought the opportunity to help all who
might need her.
She has been member of the
Methodist church since she was II
years of age when she was converted
to q faith in the saving grace of Jesus
Christ. Living the faith she professed
she has been a leader and mainstay
in the religious activities of the Leba.
nan Methodist church, in fact, was
largely responsible for the building of
the church. She has directed the work
as Ladies Aid president, Sunday school
superintendent and in every way that
her splendid christian ability gave her
vision.
She was kind and loving wife, her
children had the counsel of mother
who always sought to glorify Christ in
all she had; and the community and all
inspiring presence of a spirit-filled life.
Yet her death, as well as her life,
may well be said to be benediction to
all who knew her for precious in the
sight of God is the death of His
saints" and likewise precious in the
sight of all those who glory in the
triumph of those who live and die in
Christ.
