Mrs. Hammond has been! living fo Atwood with her daughter, Miss Alice Hammond, and her condition of late years necessitated confinement to the house and the attention ofa nurse. Mrs. Hammond was born in Glas- gow and it is interesting to know that when eighteen years of age, she came to Canada with her father and little sister Katharine, now Mrs. George Sangster of Molesworth, in the fam- ous old sailing vessel “Glencairn," which for many years plied between Glasgow and Montreal, the voyage either way occupying from seven to eight weeks. ’ The family first located at ‘Aylmer, near Ottawa, where the daughter, Sarah, wa8 united in marriage -to Mr. James Hammond, who predeceased other two years ago.
