====Marriage====
In 1872, John married Sarah Acres (b. 1836 Ontario - d. 1900 Sackville, NB). They were married in Montreal at Zion Congregational, officiated by [https://krassoc.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/henry-wilkes-congregational-minister/ Dr. Henry Wilkes] (1805-1886) founding pastor. Sarah was born in Ontario, to William & Jane Acres, both born in Ireland. She had a brother named Richard Acres, who assisted the wedding. They had no children.
Subsequent to Sarah's death in 1900, John remarried Katharine Jeannette Stark (186(7/9)-1942), in Arkville, New York. Katharine was born in Waltham, Massachusetts to John Stark (1827-1887) & Catherine "Kate" Stark (1835-1907), both of Scotland. Katharine's father was employed as a machinist. John died in Waltham, while Kate died in Sackville, and it might be inferred that Kate could arguably have been in fellowship with the [[Sackville Meeting Room, NB|Sackville Meeting Room]] with her daughter and son-in-law in her last years. Although in 1900, she was living in Manhattan, NY with three of her grown daughters (including Katharine).
At 63, John (and Katharine) had one daughter: * Katharine Elisabeth Hammond (1906-1985) married Rev. Charles Arthur "Karl" Krug (1906-1985) in 1932. ** Charles was born in Chesley, Bruce, Ontario to William Francis Graham Krug (1865-1950) & Anna Maria "Mary Ann" Braun Krug (1867-1951).
* Katharine Elisabeth Hammond (1906-1985) married Rev. Charles Arthur "Karl" Krug (1906-1985) in 1932.** Karl was born in Chesley, Bruce, Ontario to William Francis Graham Krug (1865-1950) & Anna Maria "Mary Ann" Braun Krug (1867-1951). He graduated from Emmanuel College, of the University of Toronto. In a 1926 yearbook it was commented: "A rose for our Decembers; Places we have met Charley: At home in Chesley, at the S.C.M. cabinet meeting, at the Philosophy Club, on the mission field, and in Jim's room. His way winds over the hilltops high and fair." At some juncture, he also served as the Don of the Gate House at the University of Toronto, as well as teaching philosophy. ** Karl preached at Bloor Street United Church, then he held the Hart Almerrin Massey Chair in Philosophy (1931-1943), and Head of the Philosophy & Psychology Dept (1943-1947) at Mount Allison University in Sackville. During WWII, he served as a Canadian army intelligence officer with the joint chiefs of staff in Washington, also serving in government service in Ottawa. In his later years, he relocated back to his hometown of Chesley, and had a daily afternoon radio news program for CKNX, as reported by a news outlet in 1958. Karl & Katharine had three children including Karla Rattenbury
