LOUISA JANE HAMMER was born Jan. 6, 1853 in Jasper Co., Iowa and died May 18, 1928 in Jasper County. She married BENJAMIN BASIL TROUT Dec. 6, 1870 in Kellogg, Jasper County, Iowa.

Their children Edna, Guy and Ross are buried in Honey Creek Cemetery, New Providence, Hardin Co., Iowa.
Thomas Jefferson Hammer, in his 1917 Biography of Seth Hammer, records the following about Benjamin: "After farming some years in Jasper County and accumulating enough to engage in the mercantile business he took an interest in a hardware store at Hubbard, Hardin County; but the business not proving as remunerative as he had hoped, he with his wife, moved to Kansas in 1885. Before leaving Iowa, however, they had the misfortune to lose, through sickness, their three bright and promising children, Edna, Guy and Ross. In Kansas, Ben B. farmed for a few years, when he returned to Iowa, settling at Reasnor, Jasper County. Here he again engaged in the hardware business, prospered, bought land and accumulated a sufficiency to take care of himself and Jane during the remainder of their lives. Some time after retiring from the hardware business at Reasnor he made each of his five living children a present of ($1,000) one thousand dollars."
