WELL KNOWN LADY DIES SUDDENLY
Mrs. A. C. Hammond, wife of A. C. Hammond died very suddenly in Payette on last Sunday from heart disease. Mrs. Hammond had been to the post office and was returning home when she was seen to fall when near the corner of Seventh street and First Avenue North. Parties observing her ran to her assistance and soon determined that something serious was wrong. A physician was called and she was taken to the Woodward hospital but passed away while enroute there in an automobile. Mr. Hammond was out of the city as the time of his wife's death as he had been engaged in assisting in gathering exhibits for the Pittsburg land show and was supposed to be on his way to Pittsburg at the time but fortunately was located in Boise. He returned to Payette on the night train Sunday and took his wife's remains to Boise Tuesday afternoon on the Pony. Mrs. Hammond was well known in Payette as the family have lived here several years. The blow falls on Mr. Hammond all the more keenly as just a few months ago the only son passed away in Boise.
A large number of friends gathered to pay their last respects to this estimable and aged lady who had lived a life of peacefulness and good among them. (Boise, Idaho)
