Death of Joseph'C. Hammond at Age of 76—A Native of Colchester. Joseph C. Hammond, one of Rock- ville's most prominent’ and_ respected residents for many years, who died at his home on Elm street Friday, was prostrated by a severe paralytic shock about five months ago. He was un- consclous and entirely helpless for some time, but improved slowly until about a week ago when he had a re- lapse and had been in a serious con- dition ever since. He had enjoved music until the last, and his son Prof. C. Hammond, was playing a selec- {tion when he peacefully passed away. He was born December 15, 1836, in Colchester, where he lived until 15 vears of age, attending the Bacon !ucadem,\‘. Later he attended the noted ‘\ Hall school in Ellington. In 1851 he {entered the drug store of Lee & Os- {good in Norwich, where he remained {for four years BIG BATCH OF ENTRIES FOR BABY SHOW. This Feature of County Fair Reported to Be Going Great. The entries for the county fair baby show are coming in at a great rate, R. C. Plaut, the originator and the active manager of the innovation, said Monday. He took a fistfull at his store that day, and when he went to the Lee & Osgood Co.'s, to H. M. Le- rou’s and to Smith’'s precsription store he found waiting for him three more substantial bunches. All the kids were duly carded and catalogued by Miss Mazie Ryder, the clerk of the baby show committee. It was decided vesterday to put Wil- liam Beckwith in the judge's stand with a megaphone to act as announcet for the races and also 1o keep the stuff on the vaudeville stage going accord- ing to Hoyle. He has been given carte blanche as to the use of humor by Secretary Greenman, who never did want the twentieth century fair to be a Quaker meeting. He then had an opportunity for a trip abroad with his former schoolmate, | Capt. E. C. Weeks, which He gladly | accepted, accompanied by his brother, | and they sailed from New York for | London in Capt. Week's clipper ship, | Quickstep. 1t was a delightful _trip, | especially pleasant for Mr. Hammond. {who was always a great lover of the {sea, and since that trip he had crossed {the ocean many times, simply for the pleasure of the voyage. His first trip abroad the party all attended the world’s fair, which was held that year in Paris. On his r2turn Mr. Hammond secured a position with the N. Hay- ward rubber company for which his father was for many years the agent. He served as shipping clerk for two years in the Providence office. In 1857 he went to Rockville, and was em- ployed for a short time in the office of the New England mill, and in 1859, he located permanently in Rockville, ‘where he had lived ever since. He was | bookkeeper at the New England office until 1877, acting also as treasurer for some years. He was also treasurer of | the Rockville aqueduct company from its organization in 1866 to 1893, and on the organization of the Rockville wa- ter and aqueduct company he became jthe treasurer and secretary, which office he had held ever since. Mr. Hammond was always one of Rockville's most enterprising citizens, interested in all matters beneficial to Rockville, and had held many Rock- ville offices. He was for many years the secretary and treasurer of the Rockville rallway company, a director of the Rockville national bank and of | the Rockville savings bank; treasurer | and trustee of the Rockville public library; trustee of the Rockville free reading room and secretary and treas- urer of the Rockville hotel company. In 1878 he represented the town of Vernon in the Legislature, serving on important committees. Mr. Hammond always a great lover of good music, and a musician of much ability. He was indentified with all the pro- minent musical events in the city, and |for many years was a member of { the *music ‘committee of the former Second Congregational church and of the Union church, Mr. Hammond was married Decem- ber 21, 1859, to Miss Catherine I. Burr, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burr. Mr. Hammond is survived by two children, Willlam C. Hammond, professor of instrumental music at Mount Holyoke college and organist and choirmaster of the Second Con- gregational church of Holyoke, and Charles H. Hammond of Rockville.
