He was survived by brothers, James Edward (Jim), Forest Elvin (Dick,), Donald Earl (Don,) Aubrey Duane (Buck,) Arlie Wayne, Harold Lloyd and sister, LaVerda Ruth. He was premature. His headstone reads 'Baby Hammons 1936'. His mother Ruth, who was my grandmother, earned the money to buy his headstone by scrubbing other people's dirty floors on her hands and knees.∼Merle Doyle Hammons - Marker reads "Baby Hammons"
