Selina Walker Hammond, was born 19 April 1841 at "Little Elms", Burlingham, Herefordshire Co., England, the youngest daughter of Henry and Annie Preece Walker.

The year she was born, 1841, her father joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In 1853 her family left England to sail to America on the sailing ship "International". They sailed to New Orleans then up the Mississippi to Iowa, eventually crossing the plains to Utah with the Claudius V. Spencer Company (1853) {3 June – 26 September from Keokuk, Iowa, started in May, crossed the Missouri River July 3}

After arriving in Utah they first settled in Cottonwood. She attended school there for a few months. It was there that she first met John E. Hammond, who she would later marry. With the coming of Johnson's Army, the family moved south to Beaver, Utah, eventually moving back to the Salt Lake area. In 1862 she married John Egbert Hammond and they moved to St. George, Utah, arriving on Christmas Day. After living for awhile there, with his parents, they moved to a place called Eagle Valley. After boundary changes, it ended up being in Nevada and renamed to Ursine. Times were hard and supplies hard to come by, but they struggled and made a go of it. She spun cotton, sold butter and cheese to get a few extra things. Since there wasn't a mill within reasonable distance, they sometimes had to eat boiled wheat. They raised corn, beans, potatoes, peas, watermelon and other kinds of vegetables, that they peddled in the neighboring town of Pioche. She died 15, December 1921 at her home and is buried in the Hammond family cemetery in Ursine, Nevada.
