Ben HAMMOND
PASSES AWAY
ABLE LUMBERMAN CALLED
BY DEATH ON NEW
YEARS NIGHT

Benjamin F. Hammond one of the
influential and popular lumbermen of
the Wisconsin river valley for the past
fifty years, passed away on Sunday
night, January 1, 1922, at 1880
O'Clock, heart trouble with which
he had been afflicted for some time
having hastened his demise. Mr.. Ham
mond was on our streets and mingled
with his friends at the Wausau club
and the Bells Hotel on New Years
day, and in his most cheerful manner
responded to the greetings of the day,
supplementing the same with some
sentiment of good fellowship so char
acteristic of him. There was nothing
t. indicate that the end of life was
so near at hand
The announcement, therefore, on
Monday morning that death had
cleaned him, proved shock to all
who knew him. Mr.. Hammond had
experienced heart trouble for some
advice of physician, he spent a peri
cd at Rochester, Mimi. AS the result
of the diagnosis there was held forth
no hope for his ultimate recovery but
quiet living and treatment he had been
following were recommended
Mr.. Hammond was in the fullest
sense of the term a self made man.
Entering the lumber business when
young man, full of strength and en-
ergy and ambition, he became very
proficient in everything that pertained
to the estimating of timber, to the
multifarious work of building roads,
installing camps, rounding up the win
ter's log cut and getting the logs to
the mills, quickly, surely and econom-
ically. Likewise, he was an adept in
handling the product from the log as
it passed through the mills to the lum-
ber piles, all manufactured in a man
ner to meet the demands of the lum-
ber markets. Because of his ability,
untiring. energy, dependable qualities,
he became valuable asset to the
large numbering concern for which he
was at work and soon was directing
its logging and lumber activities. He
later became one of the large stock
holders. Mr.. Hammond never actual
ly retired from business. It was he
who directed the construction of the
mill at White Lake several years ago
and who was the guiding figure in a
recent lumber venture at Tripoli.

On Friday last Mr.. and Mrs. Holway
left Wausau to make their home in
Lacrosse for the future. 1t seems
almost like writing an obituary no
tice TO say this. Their many friends
in Wausau cannot be resigned to lose
them even though they gone but lit
tie way from them. In the social cir

the most earnest and faithful mem
bers. in every relation they have been
such universal favorites, that 1t SEEM

Henry Smith, formerly clerk in f.

Duluth to accept position at bank

Mr.. and Mrs. G. H. Gearhart of
Chelsea visited In Wausau for sever
al days last week at the residence
of their son, a. v. Gearhart.
Owing to the absence Of a forum,
the annual meeting Of the light guards
was held Thursday instead of as an
nounced. on Wednesday. Owing to the
fact that Capt. Holway was about to
leave Wausau, the election of a new
captain was necessary The follow

Much OF the time during MS active
life, Mr.. Hammond anu his family
resided at Arbor Vitae, but Wausau
was always like home to them. Some
seven years ago they moved to this
city, making their home here.
Quiet, unostentatiOuS, cheerful, en-
tering into the business and social af-
fairs of our city, doing his part in
every move which tended to the bet
terment of our nation, state or mu-
nicipality, or of social charitable or
religious institutions. Mr.. Hammond
drew to him a host of warm friends
who sincerely mourn his death.
Mr.. Hammond was born at Adams,
IN Jefferson county, New York, on No
vember 18th, 1858, and was a son of
william. and Julia (Sullivan) Ham
mond, who moved from the state of
New York in 1851 to Wisconsin, and
settled at Manitowoc. Benjamin at
tended the schools of Manitowcc until
he was sixteen years of age. He then
went to work in a saw mill laying the
foundations for his life work. He
came to Wausau in 1875 and continued
his work in numbering. For several
years he was in the ~ j. White mill

this county. In 1879 he came on to
the Wisconsin river, which at that
time was alive with lumber interests
from Wisconsin Rapids to its very
northern sources. He was active for
a number of years in logging and driv-
ing contracts and then went to Ar
Dor Vitae, about thirty years ago.
There he became connected with the
large ]. d. Ross company, interests,
which was one of the most important
iii the north, cutting annually about
$4,000 900 feet of lumber When this
company had exhausted its lumber
supply Mr.. Hammond was connected
with the Yawkey-Bissell Lumber COM
pany, which did an immense business
in logging in the vicinity of the nor
thern lakes and manufacturer its out
put at Arbor Vitae and Hazelhurst.
Mr.. Hammond, during his leisure
time. came to Wausau. mingled with
his friends. made investments, which
identified him as one of our citizens
though temporarily living elsewhere

Who has the most signal service this
year to be worthy of the Wilson prize /?
Who has done most to promote de-

What great thinker has pushed back

eral thought%
Think what it means in a repub-
lic," added Mr. Mathie, when public
servants will be honored for distiu-
guished service and best of all during
their life time. 1t will have a power
ful influence in shaping the lives of
our young people. Today too many
shrink from the responsibilities of
public office, often because of the
shabby way We treat our public SER

with the Wilson prize?' This will have
a most salutary influence. 1t will
tend to lift up the ideals of our whole
nation something we surely need to-
day, when we are still staggering un-
der the low ideals and ,hatreds let
loose by the war.
Just as the movement is non-politi-
cal and non-denominational in it's or
igin, so will the permanent bodies be
truly representative of our whole
country 1t will make for a more har-
monious people, laying aside for a
time the rancor Of partisanship and
the narrowness of race creed.

son Foundation become better known

POINTS to a successful campaign. The
Wilson prize is likely to become the
most highly valued award in the world
and every good citizen regardless of
party should be willing to do his part
in establishing it. The greater the
amount contributed, the more valuable

STATE CHAIRMAN EXPLAINS
PURPOSE OF FOUNDATION

In reply to question from repre-
sentative of The Wausau Pilot, Karl
Mathie, state chairman of the Wood
row Wilson Foundation, has explained
what the plans Of the men and women
were who originated this movement
to honor Woodrow Wilson by perpetu-
ating his ideals through annual
awards of $4,000 to the individual or
group that renders distinguished pub
lie service.
While all present plans are ten
tative," said Mr.. Mathie, enough has
been worked out so that we can say
that there will be a National Board
of Trustees of fifteen members, which
will administer the fund. Five of these
fifteen members have already been
elected, namely Cleveland HI. Dodge,
New York banker and clasmate of
Woodrow Wilson at Princeton, Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, Carrie Chapman Gait.
William Allen White, the writer, and
E. A. Alderman, president of the Uni
lversity of Virginia.
"This board will have full power to
work out the details of handling the
fund. If present plans are followed
there will be small, body of experts,
under direction of the trustees, who
will receive nominations for the Will
son. prize, investigate them and then
recommend to jury Of Awards such
names as are considered worthy of
consideration.
Members of Jury
'The Jury of wards" continued Mr..
Mathie, will be made up of men and
women that occupy certain positions
of responsibility, educational, politi-
cal, judicial ETC. For example, the
chief justice of the United States Su-
preme court, the presidents of GER
tain colleges and universities, the
heads of national learned societies.
might be made the members of the
Jury of Awards. OF course, these de-
tails will rest for final decision with
the trustees.
1.-THE possibilities of the Wilson
awards appeal strongly to the imagi-
nation Consider the fact that these
awards will be made annually as long
as our government shall last, and
