     Obituary: Mrs. Hammil Dead - Mrs. Mary A. Hammil Passed Away On Friday Evening As Result of Attack of Blood Poison - When death entered the home of Mrs. Eliza A. Hensley at 28 North Tenth Street, at 11:30 o'clock Friday night and claimed Mrs. Mary A. Hammil, it took from earth a noble woman, one who was held in high esteem and greatly respected by everyone. It was last Sunday when Mrs. Hammil attempted to put a chicken into a coop. In doing this the chicken scratched Mrs. Hammil on the hand. The wound at first seemed insignificant, but blood poison resulted. Almost immediately her condition was considered serious but then an improvement came and on Thursday there was every indication of her ultimate recovery. With that night, however, there was a change for the worse. On Friday, Mrs, Hammil was confined to the bed and the end came quickly. With Christian resignation Mrs. Hammil awaited the ending of her long and useful life. Mrs. Hammil at the time of her death was in the eighty-third year of her age, she having been a resident of Hamilton since 1853. She came here from Reading Pennsylvania, where she was born in 1814. Mrs. Hammil was twice married, her first husband being Adam Mundorf, who died in early life. Later she was united in marriage with William A. Hammil, who died twenty-four years ago. She is survived by three children, Mrs. Eliza A. Hensley and William Hammil, of Hamilton, and Wesley J. Mundorf, of Dayton, Ohio. Shortly after coming to Hamilton, Mrs. Hammil became a member of the First Baptist Church. In this organization she was a tireless worker. She was a member of this church when it needed the energy and devotion of the few in Hamilton who were of this faith. In her efforts in behalf of her chosen church, Mrs. Hammil never tired. She worked in the church and for the church and much of the success of the early days was due to her untiring and never ceasing efforts. Mrs. Hammil never relinquished her interest in the church and until the last was active in her church work. Mrs. Hammil was possessed of a beautiful Christian faith and character. Her daily life was an exemplification of the teachings of her Divine Master. She was given to charity, also considerate of the wishes and feelings of others, always had a kind word for everyone. Those whose priviledge it was to come in contact with her felt the uplifting influence of her life and love and respected her for what they knew her to be. In the taking away of Mrs. Hammil, her family has lost a devoted Christian mother, her church has lost a faithfull member and the community at alrge a woman whose life and influence had been for its betterment. The sympathy of many go out to the stricken family to lighten and brighten so far as possible the sorrow which has come into their lives. The funeral will be held at the family residence at 28 North Tenth street on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. S. B. Hiley, pastor of the First Baptist church. The interment will be in Greenwood cemetery.¹²
