Vermontville Michigan 
MRS E. B. HAMMOND
        Clara E. Williams, daughter of Mr and Mrs John B. Williams, was born in
Boston, Massachusetts, October 11, 1852. After a brief illness in which all
that human hands could do to restore her to health, she passed from this
life February 10, 1930.
        When a small girl, she moved with her parents from Boston to a farm a few
miles east of Vermontville. When she was 22 her parents moved into the
village of Vermontville. On May 7, 1880 she was united in marriage to Mr
Earl Hammond. Their entire married life has been spent in Vermontville. She
was a faithful wife, a kind mother, and good neighbor and the world is
poorer for her passing.
        Besides her friends, she leaves her husband, Mr. Earl Hammond and sister,
Mrs Addie Briggs and her son, Mr Harry Hammond, all of Vermontville, and
one daughter, Mrs Irma Inwood of Chicago.
        Funeral services were held at the home at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. C. H. Phillips, and burial was made at Woodlawn cemetery.
