Fwd: [Pipechat] Mary Jane Hammond

[Karl Moyer]

Dear “older” Lancaster AGO-ers,

Is this the Mary Jane Hammond who used to be in our chapter and lived on (perhaps) Virginia Avenue in the western part of the city?   Can anyone help this inquiring man?

Karl E. Moyer, one of the

“oldest” guys in the chapter!  :-)

Subject: [Pipechat] Mary Jane Hammond

I’m looking for information about Mary Jane Hammond (1878 – 1964) – b. ? – d. January 23, 1964, Hillingdon Nursing Home, St. Albans.

She was the composer of the fine hymn tune “Spiritus Vitae” to which we will be singing ‘O Breath of Life, come sweeping through me’ this Sunday.

The Mission Group have chosen it (Bully for them) to include in a service featuring women who made their mark in the bible. I thought I’d add something about the ladies’ contribution, music-wise; and have ‘distaff’ voluntaries.

 

MJH is missing from the search I’ve made.

Can anyone else help ?

Do you ?]
