    H. N. HAMMOND, capitalist and well known citizen of Santa Monica, is a
native of Oakland County, Michigan, having been born in the town of Waterford,
April 25th, 1876. His father, Eli Hammond, also a native of Michigan, was a
merchant of Waterford. His mother, before marriage, was Miss Nettie Fifield. In
1882 the family removed to Benton, Montana, where they remained about four
years, afterward returning to Michigan and locating at Decatur. At this place
Mr. Hammond engaged in the mail order business for a period of about eight
years. He married at Decatur, August 24th, 1897, Miss Edith McOmber, a daughter
of George McOmber, a merchant of that city. In 1898 Mr. Hammond removed to Bay
City, Michigan, where he continued in the mail order business, wholesale and
retail. In 1904 Mr. Hammond and his wife came to California and lived for one
year at Ocean Park. The following year he made purchase of a lot on the now
magnificent Palisades tract. They erected the first costly and architectural
residence thereon which is today one of the most spacious homes in the city. Mr.
and Mrs. Hammond have two children—Harriet Janetta, and John D.
