RKT note: The headstone for William S. HAMMOND at Evergreen Cemetery, Fairfield, Iowa, Old.P.282, has the birth date of June 22, 1846 engraved for him. Whether or not the engraving is wrong or the obituary as published was wrong isn't known; in either case transposing 22 and 27 would be easy to do. Consider either date with some caution pending any clarification.
