Hammond - Edward - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Edward Hammond Jr., the young Lafayette attorney, who was killed while attempting to board the Monon train at Roachdale Monday afternoon, was well known here where he had many friends. Charles L. Biederwolf, formerly a Wabash student, but now a student at I. U., was with Mr. Hammond on the train, but did not stop at Roachdale after the accident, being in a hurry to get to his home in Monticello. The body lay at Roachdale until the night train when it was taken to Lafayette by Dan Simms, the law partner of the father of the unfortunate young man. Mr. Hammond was a brother-in-law of W. B. Austin of Rensselaer.
