CHARLES R. HAMMOND.

  Charles Russell Hammond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. Hammond, of 
1728 Sixth avenue, Juniata, died last evening at 5:55 o'clock, of
pulmonary tuberculosis. Deceased was a splendid young man and was a
perfect physical specimen when he graduated from Juniata high school in
1916. Three weeks later he was prostrated with a severe cold and from
then his health gradually failed.  He was also a graduate of the
Anderson business college and was a member of the East Juniata band.
He was born on January 29, 1898, in the house in which he died.  Born
and raised a Juniata boy, he was beloved of a large circle of friends
in the borough.  Surviving with his parents are six brothers and three
sisters - Mrs. Alvin Larson, Mrs. Charles Dunkle and Earnest W.
Hammond, of Juniata; Mrs. Albert Stewart, of Bellfontaine, O.; Henry
K., of Fort Wayne, Ind.; James C., of Akron, O.; Clinton F., of
Pittsburg; Oscar F., in the United States army at Camp Lee, Va., and
Sheldon B., at home.  Services over the remains will be held at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, in the home.  Interment will be made in
Greenwood cemetery.

impressive simplicity by Mr. Reese Remalay, of the Millenial Dawn
faith, and was attended by a large gathering of relatives, neighbors
and widespread friends of the deceased young man.  His body was borne
to its last resting place in Greenwood by fellow graduates in the
Juniata high school class of 1916.  The entire class was present.
