Death of Wells S. Hammond
We are pained to announce the sudden death by a paralytic shock in Albany [Albany Co. NY], on Sunday morning last of Wells S. Hammond, Esq. of Cherry Valley [Otsego Co. NY], only son of Hon. Jabez D. Hammond. Mr. H. left home for Albany on Thursday on professional business, which he transacted on Friday and the day following. On Saturday evening at 11 o'clock he retired to rest in accustomed health, at his lodgings at Stanwix Hall. On Sunday morning his fellow lodgers in adjoining rooms were awakened by sounds of distress proceeding from the room occupied by Mr. H. and on forcing the door, Mr. Hammond was discovered lying upon the floor, paralyzed and nearly speechless. He survived only an hour or two after his situation had become known. Mr. H. was a young man of fine talents, of stern integrity, of courteous and kindly bearing in private intercourse and in his social relations and bid fair to attain high and honorable rank in his profession. But he has been cut down ere his sun had reached its meridian and at a period when life is full of hope and of promise. Though politically differing with the deceased, our relations were ever of a cordial and friendly character. His death is a severe blow to his surviving parents and come in a form calculated to inspire the liveliest sympathy in their behalf.
