DEATH OF HON. J.D. HAMMETT

Hon. J.D. Hammett, a former member of the Legislature from Troup county, 
died at his residence in LaGrange on Sunday at 4 p.m. For several weeks he 
had been very low from paralysis and his death was not unexpected. Col. 
Hammett was 83 years of age, being one of the county's oldest citizens. The 
funeral and interment took place at Providence church at Harrisonville 
Monday afternoon, Rev. V.A. Ham of Newnan, officiating.

Col. Hammett was a man of strong will-power and active in all matters 
looking to the welfare of his county and took a deep interest in encouraging 
young men. He was a valiant Confederate soldier and served through the war 
in the Forty-First Georgia Regiment, being wounded at Perryville, Ky., in 
which battle his company lost 80 percent in killed and wounded. Col. 
Hammett's death is mourned by a host of friends who had known him through 
many years.

The deceased is survived by his wife, two daughters and four sons. The 
sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved ones in their sorrow.

Col. Hammett was the father of Mr. E.W. Hammett of this city and frequently 
visited here where he had many friends, all of whom regret to hear of his 
death.
