He appears to be about 8 to 10 years old, so likely born around 1884 or 1886.
His parents' names are not found, but by 1900 he was living with his grandparents and aunts.
His name appears in the 1906 Yearbook for Hamilton College, Clinton, NY (about 20 miles southwest of Utica.
A family tree in Ancestry.com has Herbert Rawling Hemmens, born 29 March 1884, living in Utica during the 1900 Census.

Going back in time a bit, the 1880 Census was enumerated before Herbert was born, but might prove useful in finding his father's name.

1888 Utica City Directory shows that among James' sons, only Thomas R. Hemmens is living at his own home. The other sons are still living at 4 William Street in their father's house. This would tend to indicate Thomas was married and raising his own family.
Thomas R. Hemmens died 27 Sept 1895. This is looking more and more like Herbert's father. I wonder what the "R" stands for.
