ADAM H. HAMME, son of Jonns and Catherine (Eisenhart) Hamme, of West Manchester Township, was 
born December 3, 1833, in Dover Township on the old homestead farm, where his brother, John H. 
Hamme, now lives; as a boy his time was divided between school and farm work.  October 25, 
1860, he married Mary Ann Ketterman, daughter of George and Anna Mary (Bush) Ketterman, of 
North Codorus Township.  This union has been blessed with four children:  Alice M., Catherine 
J., Mary E. and John H.  Jonas Hamme, our subject’s father, died in his seventy-third year; his 
widow is still living.  Christian Hamme, our subject’s grandfather, was one of the first 
settlers of Dover Township, having taken up the land and getting a patent deed for his farm.  
Our subject is a progressive, wide-awake farmer, and is the owner of one of the finest farms in 
the neighborhood.
