The first individual to be buried in the Globe Cemetery was Thomas B. Hammond, brother of Andrew “Doc” Hammond, who some say is the founder of Globe.
Thomas was a prospector whose body was found by his brother on the trail to Pinto Creek on September 1, 1876, the same year the City of Globe was founded. While out on a prospecting trip, Thomas had been killed by Apaches.
His gravestone reads:
“In the solemn shades of the woods that swept the field when his brother found him, and the hot tears crept into the strongmen’s eyes that had seldom wept. His mother, God pity her, smiles and slept drawing her arms over him.”
