Arthur J. Hammond.
Arthur J. Hammond died at Omaha
Sunday, and the announcement of his
death came as a grievous shock to the
entire community of O’Neill, for, but a j
few days before he had been about the
streets cheerful as always in de
meanor and apparently in his usual j
health. Mr. Hammond, accompanied
by Mrs. Hammond, went to Omaha,
the latter part of last week, where he
intended to have a minor operation
performed. Sunday morning the
children went to Omaha to be with
their father at the time of the operation.
Sunday. Mr. Hammond died while
under the influence of the anaes
thetic.
No death in O’Neill ever has brought
more universal regret and sorrow
than has that of Arthur J. Hammond,
for he was a loving husband, a kind
father and an unassuming but public
spirited citizen whom it was both a
privilege and a pleasure to number as
one’s friend. From the early days of
the town he had endeared himself to
those with whom he came in contact
and with whom he was associated.
O’Neill will be lonely for many with- j
out him. ,
The funeral was held from St. Pat
rick’s church Wednesday morning,
under the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus, the Rev. Father Cassidy

rison, T. F. Birmingham, T. P. Han
ley, J. F. Gallagher and M. H. Mc
Carthy were the pall-bearers and
guard of honor who bore the mortal
remains to their final resting place in
Calvary cemetery.
Arthur J. Hammond was born m
Suffolk, England, February 2, 1862,
and was fifty-six years, one month and
sixteen days of age at the time of his
death. He was united in marriage
with Miss Sarah Fitzsimmons at
O’Neill, February 16, 1885, and the
young couple continued to reside in
Omaha, at that time Mr. Hammond’s
home, until December 28, 1885, at
which time they removed to O’Neill,
where they have since resided. Eight
childi .i, six of them yet living, were
the fruits of the union and the chil
dren, who, with Mrs. Hammond, sur
vive him are Herbert J. Hammond,
William J. Hammond, Grace Ham
mond, Mae Hammond, Arthur Ham
mond and Harrold Hammond, all of
O’Neill. v
Mr. Hammond was a member of the

caused a riot and for a time all kinds
of dire things were threatened Krot
ter, who is one of the big merchants of
the town. Mr. Krotter at the con
clusion of Judge Harrington’s address
climbed up on a chair and attempted
to reply to some of the judge’s caustic
criticisms of the Germans, but was
promptly squelched by Chairman
Thomas of the meeting. Afterward a
number of Stwart and vicinity resi
dents grew wrathful against Krotter
and started out to give his store and
office buildings a spring coat of yellow
paint. The paint was purchased, but
I beforn»it could be applied cooler heads,
assisted by the Home Guards, many
of whom wanted to be painters how
ever, prevailed over the more violently
inclined until the arrival of Sheriff
Duffy and deputies when hostilities
ceased. Later Mr. Krotter apologized
for his remarks and his 'friends say
that had he been permitted to con
clude his remarks they would have
been found not to be antagonistic to
the United States. Threats still are
made at Stuart to use the new paint
and there is some demand that Mr.
Krotter be brought before the Council
of Defense, but with the apologies al
ready made the incident probably is
closed._*
