The Lake Odessa Wave, August 21, 1903
Mrs. Disa Hammond died at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Helen Hammond, 
of Vermontville, on Friday, after a very brief illness of apoplexy.  The 
funeral was held in the home where she died, on Sunday forenoon, and her 
remains brought to Lakeside cemetery, where they were interred beside those of 
her husband, who passed to the great beyond about 12 years ago.  

Since the death of her husband, Eber Hammond, the old lady has divided her 
time among her children, and only went to Vermontville for a short visit on 
the Monday before her death.  At that time she appeared in fairly good health 
for a woman of 86 years.

She as born in St. Lawrence County, New York.  She moved to Michigan with her 
husband about 35 years ago, first settling on a farm in Vermontville, then a 
few years later sold the farm and moved on the farm northeast of town which 
has since been her home.  To Mr. and Mrs. Hammond were born seven children, 
three preceding their mother to the grave.  The four living are, Mrs. Mary 
Nead, living in Detroit; Chas. Hammond, living in Washington state, and Mark 
and Brose Hammond, of Lake Odessa.  

Mrs. Hammond was well known and as well liked in Odessa, and her sudden demise 
came as quite a surprise.
