 The agitator.: (Wellsborough, Tioga County, Pa.): October 15, 1862
Death has been once more in our midst, and has removed to another life a most worthy
member of society. The great Destroyer is busy doing his work not only on the field
of battle, but In the peaceful walks of private life.
The death which we are called upon to chronicle, is that of Mr. David Hammond, of
Elkland. He departed this life on the 1st of Sept., in the 81st year of his age,
having been born on the 1st of March, 1782.
He drew his infant breath in the far famed and beautiful valley of Wyoming, to which
place his father had removed from Connecticut. At bis birth the country was still
engaged in the War of the Revolution; and he died the second year of the great
Rebellion. Thus both his entrance into life and his departure from it was while his
country was engaged in a terrible struggle for national existence. The family from
which he descended was highly respectable, and noted for patriotism and love of
country. His father and several of his brothers were soldiers in the war of the
Revolution. At the close of that war owing to troubles in the valley he returned to
Connecticut, and there be died when Mr. Hammond was eight years of age. Being left
an orphan he came to Southport in the State of New York to live with an uncle, where
be spent the days of youth; and there also at the age of twenty-three he was united
in marriage to Miss Polly Tubbs. This union proved to be a lasting and happy
one...they had eight children..
