Hiram Hammond and His Gristmill of LeGrand
Early settlers recall Hiram Hammond’s kindly smile at the LeGrand gristmill on the Iowa river. Born 1832 in Jefferson County Ohio, he moved west in 1852, built a large mill business, advised foreign born neighbors on sowing and harvesting, and became a leading community figure as milling declined with changing techniques and wheat shortages in the late 1800s.
