Posted on: Guernsey Co. Oh Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/GuernseyObits/10115 Surname: HAMMOND, LANNING ------------------------- Please help. I've hit a brick wall and it's almost as if my relatives didn't exist during this period. Jacob HAMMOND from Perry County, Ohio married Almeda LANNING in 1884 in Hocking County. She was born in 1868 and he was born in 1858. I don't know where she was born, but he was born in Maxville, Perry County, Ohio. He died in 1896 in a mining accident. I have found their marriage records. He was still living at home in 1880. I can find no information about Almeda except on the census in Byesville in 1920 she lived there with her son John and he was 32, she was 52. She also had a son named Walter Hammond, and two daughters. Goldie and Della. Almeda was a very religious woman but I don't know what religion she was. Maybe there are some church records about her, but I don't know where to look.L
