EMELINE HAMMOND,  daughter of Oliver HAMMOND and Rhoda THOMPSON was born 29 May 1843 in Bradford, Pennsylvania.  She married Life LACHEMBIE in 1864 ( spelled Elefalette LECKENBY on census).  Emeline moved  with her parents to  Michigan in 1854 with the caravan of covered wagons.  She taught school as a young lady.  Her brother was a pupil in one of her classes.  The school  building was still standing (1969).  After she married Life they lived in St. Louis, Michigan. They later moved to Dechard, Tennessee where she died in 1900.  Life remarried and moved to Bannister, Michigan where he died of cancer. There were no children.

FRANK HAMMOND SR., son of Oliver HAMMOND and Rhoda (THOMPSON) HAMMOND was born 8 May 1846 in German Flats, Herkimer County, New York. He later  moved  to  Bradford, Pennsylvania when he was three years old.  He  married Luvina FULLER 1 March 1890. She was born 12 Dec 1873 near Saginaw, Michigan.

Frank,  with his parents joined the wagon train that gathered at Olean,  New York to move West. In 1854 the train of thirty covered  wagons  started  west.  Part of the train stopped in Michigan and the others  went on to Wisconsin and Minnesota.  Franks  parents  settled  in  Laingsburg, Michigan but later moved to a farm three miles south of  Elsie, Michigan.  Frank went  to a school three miles south of Elsie. His oldest sister was his teacher for a time.

At the age of fourteen he moved into the woods eight miles north of Elsie to hunt and trap. That was the spring of 1860.  He made a good income selling Partridges and other game birds to  hotels,  besides  his income from the skins of animals he caught in the woods.  He lived in this neighborhood during the great Chicago fire of 1860,  which run  from Chicago all the way across  the  State of  Michigan.  He had quite a fight to save his cabin from burning, as the fire was all around it.

In 1864 he took up 160 acres of land under the Homestead Act.  He being only  eighteen  years of age, his father had to sign the papers with him.  This 160 acres of land was the southwest quarter of section 36,  Hamilton Township, Gratiot County, Michigan. He later bought  80  acres  of the west half of the southeast quarter of the same section from Hayes SINCLAIR for one  dollar per  acre.  He  would walk to Ovid and carry what groceries he needed fourteen miles home. The roads at that time were mere trails which  followed  the ridges, as the swamps were full of water most of the year.  Some of the trails were made by the Indians.  He farmed the land with a team of oxen.  All the grain  had to be cut by hand with a cradle and threshed with a flail.

At  that  time,  before  the year 1900, eggs were 8 cents per dozen  and butter  was 10 cents per pound. 18 inch cordwood, split  and  delivered  ten  miles and piled in neat piles was $1.25 per cord.  Beef,  Mutton,  and  Pork cost three to five cents per pound. Sugar was five cents per pound.  White beans sold at sixty cents per bushel.
 

Page 28                       THE HAMMOND FAMILY
 

The only tax we had was real estate tax and personal property tax  to be paid once each year. No dog tax, no income tax, no sales  tax,  no  inheritance  tax,  no  union  dues,  no deer license, no hunting or trapping license,  no fishing license, no automobile  license (no automobile)!  What little money we made was all our own.

In 1896 the people of the neighborhood got together and had a logging  bee  and  built the old log school house and founded district  number  six.  It  was  built  on  the north half of section  36,  Hamilton  township,  Gratiot  County, Michigan. Those  who  helped to build the school were as follows; Frank Hammond,  William Mitchell, William Fisher, Mr.  Hood and Mr. Chamberlain.  Mr. Hood  furnished  the  land  and most of the lumber. William Fisher was elected director and Mr.  Chamberlain was elected treasurer.  When  school  started there were thirty pupils.  Frank Hammond Jr. was four  years old and went to the new school the first year it was in operation. At that time the teacher got #25.00 per month and had to pay $2.50 per week board and  room.  The school was first called the Fisher school, but was later called the  Hammond school district,  in  honor  of  Frank  Hammond, he being the oldest pioneer in the district.

After the pine  timber was all cut off and the saw mills and shingle  mills moved away, the school got down to six pupils; Frank,  Oliver,  Lester,  Chester, Minerva Hammond, and Frank Albert Fisher.  Frank served on the school board for many years.  Luvina  died 13 Dec 1921 and Frank died 30 June 1930, both at the old homestead. They had fourteen children.
