DANIEL HAMMAN DIES

The community was shocked Tuesday morning when the word was received that Dan HAMMAN had passed away. Mr. Hamman has been in poor health for a year or more but has been around all the time and was in town Monday. Monday evening he retired in seemingly usual health. About three o’clock Tuesday morning he arose and went down stairs; after waiting a few moments other members of the family went down to see if anything was wrong and found him on the floor dead. The body was taken to Eaton Rapids, Mich., his former home, for burial, Wednesday.
