The Hammack family consisting of Christopher and J.T. Hammack (brothers), their father, J.T.'s wife Mary Land Haccack and children moved to Kolbtown from Coweta Co, GA. They built a home on the north side of Ft. Towson Road (just south of Highway 70 west) about a mile east of the Saline River. They had a family cevetery across the Ft. Towson Rd. which was started when the father died. There are 14 Graves in the cemetery. Mr. Hammack, J.T. Hammack, Mary Hammack Hall, Curtis Hall, and a baby Hall are known to be buried there. Most if not all the graves are mem bers of the Hammack family. Several of the family contracted typhoid fever, believed to be caused from the spring water, and died.
