Bio

James Hammon, the demented son of Colby Hammon, a farmer residing about 2 miles east of Huntsville, met his death on last Friday afternoon. He wandered away from home, unnoticed by the family and went to the railroad and sat down on the track near old No. 2 coal shaft. He was sitting there when the west bound passenger came in sight. The locomotive struck him with full force, killing him instantly. Young Hammon had been afflicted with fits, and noticing a remedy advertised for it, sent off and got it. The third dose, we are told, cured him of this affliction, but at the same time dethroned his reason, and he had never been the same boy since. -Huntsville Herald Wednesday, November 18, 1896
