He was a motorman for the North Texas Tractor Co., and there were 34 of his fellow motorman and conductor friends to pay their last tribute to their loved friend.

NORTON HAMMACK At 7:30 a.m. on the 11 inst. the spirit of sweet little Norton Hammack left the fever racked body and wended its way to a home in the mansions above where the dear Savior had prepared a place for it. A sweet little bud born on earth to open a full flower in the garden above where it will ever live. No blighting frost to nip it there. Christ said, "suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." It is sweet to think our darling is a bright angel now. He was so loving and beloved by all, how much we will miss him; yet "not our will but thine be done." The little darling was taken with measles on Friday and on the next Friday he left us. May God comfort the sorrowing parents grandparents and friends. He was born in Arlington, Tx. to his parents, T.R. and Effie Hammack on Jan. 19, 1901. His stay on earth was short but O, how sweet!
