Death of An Old Citizen. William Hamer, one of the oldest inhabitants of Sandusky county, died at his residence in Clyde (Ohio), Wednesday, Dec 26th, at the age of 75 years. Mr. Hamer was one of the first settlers here, and the little town from which Clyde came was named after him, as Hamer's Corners. He was very widely known, perhaps more so than any citizen of Clyde. In June last, Mr. Hamer's only daughter died of consumption. From that day the old gentleman went down.

Priscilla S. Hamer. On Wednesday of this week undertaker George F. Supner received a telegram from Reading, Michigan announcing the death of Mrs. Priscilla S. Hamer and requesting him to meet the remains at the Lake Shore Depot here at 6:15 last evening. At that time the body arrived here, accompanied by her son in law, Orson Grover, and his son Charles. The body was taken to Supner's undertaking rooms where it remained until nine o'clock this morning, when it was taken to Bakertown cemetery for interment, accompanied by friends of the deceased, there being no funeral services here except brief services at the grave by Rev. J.M. Davies, of the Baptist church. Mrs. Hamer was one of the earliest residents of Clyde, and it was from her second husband, William Hamer, that the early hamlet of Hamer's Corners, now Clyde, received its name. The family lived for many years in the house now owned and occupied by C.L.Dirlam, where her husband died many years ago. Mrs. Hamer was born in Massachusetts and was there married to Cephas Blanchard. They came to this place about 1840, and upon the death of Mr. Blanchard whe was married about 1862 to Mr Hamer. She remained a resident of Clyde until July 1890, since which time she has made her home with her son in law, Orson Grover, at Reading, Michigan. She died there on Wednesday, March 20th at the age of 83 years, 4 months and 18 days. Deceased was well known among older residents of Clyde as a most estimable lady. She leaves no near relatives here or elsewhere. Orson Grover, who accompanied the remains here, is a brother of Truman Grover, west of town.
