George W. Dyke was born in the county of Pottsford, Vt., April 19, 181l. Leaving there in '41, he moved to this vicinity where he has resided ever since. He was converted when about 20 years old, when he joined the Cong'l church at this place, being one of the charter members, and the last of the charter members to pass away. Later on he became acquainted with the Free Methodists, and thought best to join them, and has since then been a faithful member. He was noted for his Christian integrity. He was truly a man of God.

The funeral sermom was preached in the F.M. church, by Rev. M.V. Clute, of St. Charles, Ill., to a large concourse of sympathising friends. He leave a wife and several in family on the shores of time. The remains were laid to rest in the Crystal Lake cemetery.

Notes:

Excerpt from "History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America Vol. 2": They settled on the homestead with his father for whom he kindly cared during his declining years. Col. Hammond suffered a shock of paralysis some years before his death which impaired his physical ability but not his mind and his son gave him every attention that a kind and dutiful mind could suggest.

Augustus Hammond was a man of plain and simple habits, unpretending in his manner but highly respected for the excellence of his character. A kind neighbor, a sincere friend and an earnest Christian but too modest and diffident, greatly undervaluing his own merits and ability.

Augustus married Mary PENFIELD on 10 Oct 1839. Mary was born on 02 Jun 1807 in Pittsford, Vermont. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
