Another Pioneer Gone – Mr. Henry Hammer, whose name is familiar to nearly everybody in this section of the State, died at his home in the Hammer Grove, on Wednesday the 3d inst. He was born in Jefferson county, Tennessee, Dec. 15th, 1817, and was nearly 62 years of age at the time of his death. He was one of the very earliest pioneers of Jasper county, having settled here in 1847. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. In his death our county loses one of her best and noblest citizens.
