Philomathean Lodge, No. 10, I.O.O.F. Mr. Hammer was married twice, his first
wife, who was Hannah Burnbeater, having died in 1868. His second wife, who was a
Miss Unruh, survives him, with five children. The funeral was held on Thursday
and the interment took place in the Dunkard burying ground, Main Street, above
Sharpnack.
