Philip C. Hammer, aged 61 years, 10 months and three days, died at his home near Shenandoah on Monday, January 17th, after a lingering illness of long standing with tuberculosis.

Mr. Hammer had been a resident of Shenandoah for many years, moving there about the time the railroad was built, and had been an employee of the railroad up to the time of his health began to fail, about three years ago.

Besides his widow, who was before marriage, Miss Mary W. Garrison, he is survived by eight children- five sons and three daughters: T.W. Hammer, of Baltimore; P.F. Hammer, of Roanoke; A.J., H.A. and A.T. Hammer of Shenandoah and Mrs. E.L. Kite of Nicholson, Pa., and Misses Hattie B. and Mary O. Hammer, of Shenandoah. He is also survived by his aged father Henry C. Hammer, of near Elkton and the following brothers and sisters: J.A. Hammer, of Luray, J. Ed Hammer and Mrs. Mary E. Rodgers and Misses Fannie and Phoenix Hammer, all of Elkton.

The funeral services took place at the Methodist church at Shenandoah at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, conducted by Rev. J.W. Wright, of the U.B. church, assisted by Rev. Baldwin. Services at the grave were conducted by the Masons. Interment took place in the cemetery adjoining the church.
