William May Hammond From a newspaper clipping Wadesboro, N.C. Thursday March 12, ______
BAR PASSES RESOLUTION. Wadesboro Bar Association passes a Resolution in Memory of Capt. Wm. M. Hammond- Resolutions drawn by Col. Bennett. Monday afternoon the Wadesboro Bar Association met in the office of Robinson & Claudle and appointed Col. R. T. Bennett and Messers. H. H. McLendon and W. E. Brock a committee to draw up resolutions in memory of Capt. Wm. M. Hammond, a native Ansonian, who died at his home in Thomasville, Ga. Sunday. Tuesday the committee reported the following resolutions, written by Col. Bennett to the Bar Association:
"The death of Captain William May Hammond, at his home in Georgia, is to many of us a personal bereavement, to others of our comradeship a lingering sorrow. Born in Anson county, the son of Hampton Boggan Hammond, and his wife Rosa May.
Educated in the best schools then available here. He was imbued with the best traditions civic and otherwise. At a youth his apparel was neat, his speech ornate and modest. He embraced secession as the remedy for paralysis of rights,
herein he trod step by step in the tracks of his father.
"He embraced the political principles of his gifted father, the religion of his mother and dedicated to arms his devotion to our state. The close of the war found him on General Roddy's staff. He temporized with the selection of his permanent home. If he had buffeted fortune here, a great northern light would have illumined his proud career. Instead he strove now and then against the current of great awards.
"We thank our gracious Master for his manifold virtues, his charity, his towardship, his vast and varied information. Especially for those primal virtues which led him to honor the deserving poor, and appeal the cause of those defeated by the caprice of fortune.
"The members of the Bar of Anson county bowed with sorrow, now, in the presence of his remains, the days of his years being accomplished do point to the youth here and there to the equity of his conduct, the ornaments of his reasoning, the force and penetration of his advocacy.
"It was said of him, that when he threw down his brief, the case of his client was exhausted.
"We value the sages of the Law."
