I've "rescued" an old photograph of T. H. HAMMOND of Olena, Illinois which was taken at the Weider Studio in Burlington, Iowa. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's with the young man in the photograph likely in his teens at the time. Based on limited research I believe that I've been able to locate this young man through census records as follows: 1870 census of Olena, IL: Jane HAMMOND, age 56, Keeping House, born Ireland Thomas HAMMOND, age 12, born IL Olive BEST, age 3, born IA 1900 census of Medicine, KS: Thomas HAMMOND, age 42, born Jan 1838, married 13 years, born IL, parents born England/Ireland, a Farmer Addie L.
