Education and career

Born in Brandon, Mississippi, Hammond graduated from Union University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 1857, and from Cumberland School of Law in 1858. He was in private practice in Ripley, Mississippi from 1859 to 1860, and in Memphis, Tennessee from 1860 to 1861. He was a captain in the Confederate States Army from 1861 to 1865, thereafter returning to private practice in Ripley until 1868, and then in Memphis until 1878.[1]

Federal judicial service

On June 15, 1878, Hammond was nominated by President Rutherford B. Hayes to a new seat on the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee created by 20 Stat. 132. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on June 17, 1878, and received his commission the same day. Hammond served in that capacity until his death on December 17, 1904, in New York City, New York.[1]

gollark: There is empirical evidence of this in that we actually have the the various `aria-` attributes now, and basically nothing uses them, although that might just be because we have plenty of semantic elements anyway.
gollark: If you make it rely on explicit annotations, nobody will actually do this.
gollark: For instance, the scripting language is Lua, storage is... SQLite..., pages are also Lua table notation, and headers are Lua table notation too.
gollark: We're going all Lua here, for purposes.
gollark: Fiiiine, we can reexist forms, but they're subject to cross-origin requirements and they send Lua table notation instead of (ew) x-www-form-urlencoded.
