Galena Gazette July 1904

Miss Annie Hammer, daughter of Mr. B. Hammer, has been in delicate health for several months. The best medical skill failed to stop the ravages of disease. Last week she was taken to the hospital in Freeport. Wednesday a surgical operation was preformed, and the home physician, Mr. E. C. Wright, reports that at this time Miss Hammer is in critical condition, but as she is young we all hope for her to get well.

Galena Gazette July 1904

Mention was made in last report of the critical condition of Miss Annie Hammer. We are grieved to say that this amiable young lady died at 2 o'clock last Sunday morning. Her father, one brother and a sister were with her when the spark of life went out. The remains were brought home Sunday noon train, and taken to the family home four miles south of town. The funeral service were held from the home at 1 o'clock to the Presbyterian church here last Tuesday afternoon conducted by the Rev. William Bruchert, for many years the faithful pastor of this charge, in the presence of a very large concourse of friends who deeply sympathise with the father, Mr. B. Hammer, and three sisters, Mrs. Henry Dittmar and Misses Emma and Katie Hammer, also five brothers, George, John, Albert, Helmer and Alfred Hammer. Miss Hammer was not quite twenty-four years old. She had spent her entire life at home and was greatly admired by all and being called from earth so young is keenly felt by the entire community. Interment was made in the Hammer cemetery where her mother was buried a little less than four years ago. Messrs. David Heer, Gus Steffen, Geo. Duerstein, John Dittmar, Henry Musselman and G. C. Schoenhard, life long friends of the family were the pall bearers.
