The Onaga Herald, 17 June 1926
Dora Marie Hammerly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hammerly, of Onaga, was born at Concordia, Kansas, October 19th, 1915 and departed this life June 11th, 1926 at the age of 10 years, 7 months, and 22 days, at the St. Frances hospital in Topeka, where she was taken the night of the accident when she was hit by an automobile. She suffered the agony of brain fever for seven days, but was so patient in all her suffering, so grateful for every kindness shown her. The nurses at the hospital said she was the dearest little patient they ever had here. Before the last she made arrangements about her funeral and how she should be dressed. She told her aunt and mother that she was ready and willing to go and had nothing to worry about. Dora was the pet of all her aunts and uncles and the flower of the family. She made friends wherever she was and was loved by all. It seems so hard to give her up, but God's way is best, and little Dora is safe with her savior, whom she loved and read about from he bible each day.
Her mother stayed constantly by her bedside night and day and cared for her until the last, giving her every care such as only a mother can give. She was here only a short while, but her life was beautiful and little Dora will be
remembered by all.
Funeral services were held in the Onaga Baptist church, Monday afternoon at two o'clock. Her little body was laid to rest in the Onaga cemetery. The services were conducted by Rev. Neal, of Topeka.
