Hammond, daughter of James Alexander Spears and Eleanor Hammond, was born September 15, 1875, near Hamilton, Steuben County, Indiana; departed this life, August 21, 1920, at Fresno, Coshocton County, Ohio. On January 1, 1900, she was united in marriage to Samuel M., Firestone. In 1904 they moved to Kansas, later on, homesteaded in Colorado, and spent some time in California and New Mexico. While Mrs. Firestone joined the church at 12, she later made this notation on the fly--leaf of her Bible: "December 15, 1899, justified; November 26, 1906, sanctified--Clara." Her testimony, while modest, continued firm to the last. Directly, and indirectly through her, her husband was called into the Methodist ministry. Her mutual helpfulness and co-operation was heroic, both while he attended college at Willmore, Kentucky, and later on in the field of action. She felt called to sing the gospel story and was unusually gifted and effective. Together they labored in the Kentucky and Northeast Ohio conferences, besides doing some outside evangelistic work. Less than a week before her final departure, she accompanied him for the last time on the circuit. During her lifetime, she suffered severe attacks of measles, scarlet and typhoid fever, etc., and finally fell a victim to that dreaded disease, diabetes. She received special attention at St. Luke's Hospital, Cleveland, and from various local physicians, but a carbuncle on the spine lapsed her into a coma and hastened the end. She passed out as a gentle breeze on a fair June day. The Rev. George W. Orcutt, district superintendent, conducted funeral services at the Fresno M. E. Church, Rev. M. B. Mead preached the sermon, seven other ministers attending and assisting. Music was furnished by the circuit parishioners. Two sisters from Indiana attended, The remains were taken to Indiana, interment being made in the family cemetery at Hamilton. Reverends H. R. Corson and Thomas Davies.
