Although no one seems to know who first was drawn to Pincher Creek to homestead and farm in that district, it is known eventually nine of William and Fanny Hammond's children were living there. Finally Fanny as well left her husband, William, and moved to Pincher Creek, where she took up a quarter section, and farmed successfully with others of her family. She also became involved in her art again, and has left an important record of the life of a homesteader, rancher and farmer in the early settlement of that part of Alberta. As mentioned, several of her water colours are now housed in the National Archives in Ottawa.
William, who was suffering from diabetes by this time, had sought solace and relief from his ills, through alcohol. He moved to a home overlooking the lake, east of the village of Port Dover, where the lady of the household looked after him. One night while walking along the lake bank, he tumbled, to fall the full length of the high clay bluffs to the beach below. He did not survive the ordeal. Fanny later returned from the west to move into the same home where her husband had spent his last days. She died there in 1924 to be buried in Port Dover Cemetery with her husband.
