Dorothy Jacquelyn "Jackie" Hammond
Born June 11, 1928
Died October 22, 2024
|
Jackie passed away peacefully at her home in Yellow Springs where she lived for 71 years. Born Dorothy Jacquelyn Nickel in Springfield, OH, she graduated from Springfield High School in 1946 and Wittenberg University in 1950 with a degree in accounting. As a young teenager during WWII, she worked as a nurse’s aide and a telephone switchboard operator in the local hospital. Jackie worked full time during college to pay her tuition. After graduation she had several interesting accounting jobs before she finally became bursar at Antioch College and moved to Yellow Springs.
One evening at the Glen Café, friends introduced Jackie to Phil Hammond. They married in 1953 and together they built their house on Hyde Road, doing most of the work themselves. The family spent summers on their boat “Yonder” on Lake Erie for over 50 years. Jackie was the best mother imaginable, always supportive of her children in their aviation and equestrian adventures. When her grandchildren came along, she became “Mamaw”, taking that role to heart she made it her full-time job and supported them in everything they did.
Jackie Hammond never knew a stranger. Her outgoing personality made her many friends, and her loyalty caused those friendships to endure. She always saw the best in everyone. Her house was “home base” for the family and her door was always open.
As an avid horsewoman, she kept horses at home and participated in horse shows from the early 1960’s up until 2013. She had an entire family of friends in the horse world, and she continued to attend her favorite shows up until very recently. Jackie made sure her children and grandchildren learned to ride and care for horses as well. Many lucky dogs and cats also made their home with her over the years. Starting in high school she played her beloved flute in bands, orchestras and the church.
Always the volunteer, Jackie was very active in Grace Lutheran Church in Springfield and the United Methodist Church in Yellow Springs. She served as treasurer of both churches and sang in the choir.
Using her business education, Jackie worked alongside Phil in the family business (W.A. Hammond Drierite Company) for many years.
Jackie is preceded in death by her husband John Philip Hammond, her parents Albert and Hortense Nickel, her granddaughter Sarah Hammond and long-time companion Donald Fulton. She is survived by her son Jim Hammond (Libby), daughter Joan Hammond (Randy Wyatt), granddaughter Katie Hammond, grandson Joey Hammond, and special family friends Cecilia Kimball and Erin Eavers.
Visitation will be Monday October 28, at the Jackson Lytle Funeral Home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, with visitation from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM followed by a service at 1:00. The burial will be at the Glen Forest Cemetery in Yellow Springs.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Yellow Springs Senior Center, a local humane society or animal rescue organization.

Vernon Laing Wise, Jr
Born: June 28, 1929
Died: November 4, 2024
|
Owner and chairman of the Butler Eagle, Vernon Laing Wise Jr., 95, of Penn Township, died Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024. He was born June 28, 1929, to Mary Margaret Veach Wise and Vernon Laing Wise Sr.
Wise attended the Hill School in Pottstown, Montgomery County. He was a proud alumnus of Princeton University graduating in 1951. Wise also was a veteran of the Korean War, having earned top clearances in counterintelligence in the United States Army.
In 1953, he married Sarah Jayne Cromwell.
"It's been an exciting life," Wise was often heard to say.
Wise's innovative contributions to not only his family's newspaper but to the industry in general cannot be overstated, as the Eagle stands in the annals of history as the first publication to replace reporters' typewriters with computers and the first to use large offset printing presses. "Mr. Wise," as he was known to the hundreds of men, women and young paper carriers who he employed over the years, established Butler Color Press in East Butler in 1979. Butler Color Press has been a leader in printing advertising circulars and other products for the retail industry. Wise also contributed to his community, having served on the Salvation Army of Butler's advisory board for three decades. He also worked on various charitable drives, including the Butler Family YMCA building fund.
The late newspaper executive was also well known in the world of American Saddlebred horses, and held a harness racing license. Wise proved himself a champion in years past while demonstrating his equine skills at the annual World Championship Horse Show in Louisville, Ky. He was well-respected as a top breeder and showman for decades. He owned a horse farm in Forward Township, where he bred his American Saddlebreds and put them through their paces as outstanding show specimens.
He is survived by a daughter, Jamie Wise Lanier (Addison Lanier II) of Cincinnati; a son, Vernon "Chip" L. Wise III, of Butler; six grandchildren, Vance Smith IV, Evan Smith, Bennett Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, Vernon L. Wise IV and Jessica Lawson Wise; and by seven great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Sarah; brother, David; and sister, Virginia.
The family would like to thank those who gave wonderful care to their father, grandfather and great-grandfather: Milissa Rodgers, Sid Fessel, Heather Dodd, Karen Schwab, Jen Nulph and Bill Throckmorton.
WISE - Funeral arrangements for Vernon L. Wise Jr., who died Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, are being handled by THOMPSON-MILLER FUNERAL HOME, 124 E. North St., Butler.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Nixon Methodist Church and Butler County Humane Society.
Online condolences can be given at www.thompson-miller.com.
