We’ve been trying to find an obituary, or date of death or place of burial for my
husband’s great grandmother. His grandmother’s name was Alice aka Olcie Tanner. Her
father was Daniel Webster Tanner and we have found his
obituary, etc. Alice’s mother was Charlotte “Lottie” Hammond. We believe she was born in
Shelby County, Indiana and her parents were Samuel Hammond and Mollie Roberts. Samuel
died in Rush County. Both of their names are on their tombstone.
From census data we believe Charlotte was born around 1871. Samuel’s
obituary lists his children and say his other daughter died 18 years before him. He died
in 1911 so Charlotte would have died around 1893 She gave birth to Alice on August 20,
1892 in Warren County (Marshfield), Indiana. Maybe she died giving birth??
We’ve searched the normal routes and haven’t come up with anything other than Charlotte
Hammond married Webster Tanner on Jan 13, 1889 and gave birth to another daughter named
Audrey Mae Tanner on April 30, 1890 in Shelby County, Indiana.
Is there any way to reach out to others who may know the answers to our questions about
Charlotte “Lottie” Hammond Tanner?
Any help is so appreciated and we have lots of information to share, as well.
Thank You,
Vicki
