Albert Ernest Hammond,
Alhert Ernest Hammond, the oldest
son of Anson P. Hammond and Eliza
beth Kchermorhorn Hammond, was
born on a farm in Johnson township,
Lagrange county, Indiana, on Febru
ary 5. 1855.
On his paternal side he'was descend
ed from distinguished early Amer
icans. His great grandfather was one
Richard Lawson, an Englishman of
nobel family who was an officer In tho
army of Lord Cornwallis during the
War of the Revolution. During or af
ter one of the principal battles early in
tho War. he decided that the colonists
were fighting a righteous battle, and
he left the British army and threw all
his efforts, fortune nnd his fighting ex
perience on tne side, or the colouiHts,
He was reported as among the miss
ing, in the British records, and nat
urally never dared to make any claims
ior ms estates ana properly in Eng
land. He married ft worn ten from Connect
lrut. nnd had only one daughter, who
married William, one of the ten sons
of Benjamin Hammond, of English
W'sient and also a veteran of the Uev
c?iu tituiary wur. Wllliaif) Hammond
serve his ciAfntry through tho War
of 1812.
Omvnf their sons. Anson V. Ham
mond, married Elizabeth Sclrmer
horn, a granddaughter of Aaron
Seller merhorn who served in the col
onial armies during the War of the
Revolution, and whs h dcst-eiulant of
the old Knickerbocker Dutch who
early settled in .New York. Aaron
Schermerhorn creel ved a patent for
his services and placed (hit name upon
lands in the Mohawk valley in the
state of New York. Elizabeth Ham
mond's father was also a nephew of
General Israel Putnam, and her moth
er, Ann Johnson was a direct descend
ant of the Pilgrims who landed at
Plymouth Uock in lt:!0.
Albert IS. Hammond, the oldest
child of this .union, spent his early
school days in Indiana and in south
ern Wisconsin, where his family had
moved. He went to college at Asbury
academy, now known as DePauw I'nl
verdity in Indiana, and after finishing
his course there joined his family in
Yankton. Dakota territory. His early
engineering work was spent on the
plains of the Dakotas: and as this was
during the days when the Sioux In
dians were on tho war path, ho and
his party were frequently chased in to
headquarters by the scalp hunting
savages. It was during this time that t
ho witnessed the edparture from
Yankton of General Custer add his
troops for his momentous campaign j
against the Sioux, which had such a
disasterous ending at the Battle of the
Little Big Horn j
Mis rather r rnmtly had moved out !
west to the little city of Ashland, in:
the state of Oregon, and Albert Ham
mond followed them there along In the
early 'uq. Ho taught school for
awhile nnd operated n saw mill, and
tried his luck at mining nnd other
things In southern Oregon, and final
ly became one of the engineers under
the supervision 'Of John T. llurlburt.
and took a very active part in the
building of the O. & C. railroad over
the Siskiyop mountains. This is now
a part of the main line of the Southern
I'acitic. and is one or tho finest and
most difficult pieces of mountain mil
wav engineering in . this country. After
the heavy part of this work was com
pleted he went with Mr. llurlburt to
Washington where he helped locate
and construct the line of the Northern
Pacific, aoross the Cascade mountains
through the famous Stampede Pass.
This is also one of the stupendous en
gineering feats in American railway
history. His work here was so well
done that he was sent Into Montana
with the title of assistant chief engi
neer or the Northern Pacific railways.
and for a number of years was in ac
tive cnarge or all the work of that
company in western Montana, which
involved the construction of tho lines
to Butto, Helena and many of tho prin
cipal branch lines.
In 1 8Hi Mr. Hammond married Pau
line E. Rea in San- Francisco and re
moved with his family to Portland,
Oregon, where he followed the calling
of his professlsom for a long period
of years, and left his mark in the way
of the construction of many well
known public utilities in the north
west. During this period he built
many of the first electric street car
lines In Portland, Including the Mount
Tabor. Woodiawn, Woodstock, the Al
blna lines and many others that are
now in activo use. He made the first
location for the railroad line down the
Columbia river betwoon Portland and
Astoria. Oregon.' '
From about 1898 on for, several
years ho was associated with E. E.
Lytic, and during this time he located
and built the Columbia Southern rail
road from Biggs to Shaulko, Oregon,
and was its chief engineer and gen-
ai manager for several years. Dur
ing this time he also located the line
from the mouth of the Klichitat river
to Goldendale, Washington; also made
the first railroad location lines through
central Oregon and those up the Can
yon of the Deschutes river, which sur
veys were later covered with lines con
structed by the Hill intercuts und those
of the Union Pacific.
During the time that George E.
Chamberlain was governor of Oregon,
Air. Hammond was stato engineer, and
tho first steps toward tho immense ir
rigation projects In tho Deschutes
valley were planned and started under
his direction. He also built the Port
age railroad at the Celilo Rapids on
the Columbia river, and supervised a
number of other public works of great
importance. After his retirement as
state engineer he had charire of the
first construction work at tho upper
end of the great Celilo crinal.
His later years in Oregon were spent
principally in consulting engineering
work and in mining in various narts
of tho northwest.
In 1918 he took un his residence. In
California and Jived in that state until
nis death on March 7, 11(25.
His life was all spent in tho creut
west, nnd his work was all construc
tive. He was one of tho best of those
Strong, pioneer men who trod tho un
beaten paths of the wilderness, nnd
made it possible for the follow! nir foil -
eratlons to fcbtain tho benefits of the
wonderful resources ot tho western
country.
A fiting epitaph for Mr. Hammond
would be that engrnved on the stone
that marks the last resting place of
nuuert iouis aievenson:
