Chalmers was the twin brother of Bertha Hummer, both born to Rev. Samuel Alexander Hummer and his first wife, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Starr Hummer. They were likely born in Bement, Piatt County, Illinois, USA. Their mother died the same day of their birth, likely due to childbirth complications, especially since they were twins.
Chalmers lived just 8 months. We know his twin Bertha was alive for the 22 June 1870 census, as she was enumerated with the family, but curiously Chalmers was not listed. Perhaps he was being cared for by a family member or friend? The other children were cared for by their paternal aunt, Urenia Hummer, who was enumerated in 1870 with the family, as was their paternal uncle, John Hummer.
