I was first told about the Hammond Cemetery a couple years ago and finally found it west of Benton, Saline County, about a mile north of I-30. At that time it was covered with underbrush but when I finally got time to map and document it a few weeks ago someone had cleaned it up and placed a USA National Flag at the Lee grave and a CSA National Flag at the Hammond grave. The cemetery is named for this Hammond family and although Francis has the only marker, I suspect more of his family is buried in some of the 15+ unmarked grave depressions. I also learned that in the fall of 2002 grave robbers had dug into the Hammond grave and stopped, for some reason, at 80 centimeters, before reaching the remains. That may be the reason his marker is setting at an angle at the east end of the dug-out depression.

Somebody help! I have been uploading photos for months without any problem, then a few days ago "it" would not let me upload the photos of the Wesbrook Cemetery, then last night I uploaded photos of the Hammond Cemetery and everything looked O.K. Today the photos are not there. What's going on? Is "the system" getting tired of my explorations?

Time to retire (again), Slim.

Maybe there is a bandwidth limit per thread?

I thought about that, but when I checked, I have uses less than 25% of my "Attachment Quota".

Will Rogers has been given credit for the following statement, which I like. "Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads were not paved."

Thanks loonyrich for posting the three photos. I still don't know what my problem was but I could never make it work. The narrative for these three photos is at #308 above.
