Notes for Clarissa Jane Holloway:Clarissa was born in Caroline County, Virginia, according to the bible of her granddaughter, Phoebe Laurinda Hill, daughter of George Littlewood Hill. She lived in Caroline County, Virigina until about 1815. There is some confusion about the date of her birth. The date given here is the date that was written in the copy book of her son, George Littlewood Hill. However, her tombstone days she was 80 years old at the date of her death. If this is correct, the year of her birth would have been 1767, not 1763. It is possible that George had the correct month and day, but his memory on the year was a little faulty.

Descendants of Samuel Hill

Generation 1

1. SAMUEL1 HILL was born in 1755 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. He died on 08 Aug 1808 in Fredricksburg, VA. He married Clarissa Jane Holloway (daughter of William Holloway and Mary Smith) in Virginia. She was born on 18 Jun 1763 in Caroline Co., VA. She died on 10 Apr 1847 in Henry Co., KY.

Notes for Samuel Hill:According to a letter from Samuel's daughter-in-law, Louisa (Hickman) Hill and a letter by a granddaughter, Samuel was born in Yorkshire, England near Sheffield. The court record his his trial for murder places his year of birth at about 1755.

He is first mentioned on the 1787 Caroline Co.,Virginia tax list. This was four years after records began there. Samuel would have been about age 32 at the time. It is assumed that he came to Caroline Co. about that time.

In St. Margarett's parish of Caroline Co., Virginia. In 1802 he had land on Portobago Creek very near the Essex and Caroline Co. line in St. Mary's parish. Near neighbors were George Watts and Zachariah Carter. Perhaps Zachariah was related to Clarissa, whose mother was said to have been a Carter.

Zerelda (Hudson) Holloway, who married into Clarissa's Holloway family, reported that Samuel had a "fine farm and slaves" and was "very industrious." He was described by her as "a genuine Englishman with a large, strong frame and a persevering overbearing temperament and an ungovernable temper that caused his family much trouble."

Mary and Gawin (also referred to as William) were Samuel and Clarissa's neighbors. According to court records of an action by Mary for an injunction against Gawin and another action for separate support and maintenance, Gawin and Mary had had family problems caused by Gawin's alcoholism. Mary often had to hide in the woods to escape from his beatings which, she disposed, began to occur more frequently in the months leaving up to September 1807. She further testified that "his temper and disposition had so changed and brutalized by intemperance that her once happy life was now one of great fear, pain and suffering.

According to court records, Samuel and Gawin had a very bad relationship and had a "habit of quarreling for some time." Gawin threatened to make Samuel "smell gunpowder" more than once. Gawin shot at Samuel twice. The next day, in what was described as "a cool and deliberate action," Samuel shot Gawin in the "left temple and left neck" and killed him instantly.

Samuel was found guilty of murder and was hanged on August 8, 1808 in Fredricksburg, VA

There appears to be some legal relationship between Samuel and Gawin Sommerson. Gawin was legal guardian of one William Hudson and an agent for another. Wiliam's first wife was a Sommerson and his second wife was Frances Holloway, probably a relative of Clarissa's. Samuel was the administrator of Frances' estate.

It is possible that his mother's surname was "Littlewood." The middle name of his son, George, was Littlewood. Also the middle name of his grandson, Joseph, son of Henry, was Littlewood.

Generation 1 (con't)

She is in the 1810 Caroline Co. Census. She moved to Fayette County, Kentucky around 1815 with her children after the death of her husband, Samuel. Her oldest son was married there in nearby Clark County in 1816. Her second oldest son George was married in Fayette County in 1822. Some time thereafter and prior to 1830 she moved to Henry County, Kentucky where she died on April 10, 1847.

From notes of Zerelda (Hudson) Holloway written about June 5, 1911. The original book is in the possession of Gladys Holloway Mobely:

"A few words concerning Clara Holloway Hill. Clara Holloway was a sister of John and George from England. Writter thinks she married in Samuel Hill in England and immigrated to America several years after her brothers did, and settled in Va and died there. [This is incorrect. She died in Smithfield, Henry Co., Kentucky.] They were wealthy in land and slaves, with all needful surroundings. Samuel Hill was a genuine Englishman with a large strong frame, and a persevering, overbearing temperament and an ungovernable temper, which caused his family much trouble. He was peculiar in his manner of treatment toward his servants and family: he was heard to say to his men 'Well! while we are resting we will go and roll logs;' the horses, were resting. He was clearing the ground for plowing and rolling logs to be burned. After the death of the old folks, the remainder of the family went to KY. to where the Holloways settled."

"They were parents of several children George, Henry, and sister Nancy, who married Samuel Picket [his name was William], there were others whose names are forgotten.

"Henry Hill, a son of Samuel and Clara Hill, married his cousin Elizabeth, daughter of John Holloway from England. The children of Henry and Elizabeth were Martha, Clemincia and Joseph.

"Martha, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth married Stephen Hill. They had the same name but not related.

"Clemincia died in Cal. and was single.

"Joseph married Bettie Hill, a niece of Stephen Hill, not related to each other.

"People should scatter and not marry of the same family live near each other. The Holloways liked their kin too much, and so many married their cousins."

According to Mabel Gaffney's note Zerelda married into the family and moved to Missouri within 2 or 3 years of the time Henry Hill left on the Oregon Trail. Henry's son, Joseph Littlewood Hill, and Zerelda's husband ran a blackSmith shop together.

Even Zerelda says that Clarissa's older brothers were born in England, This is incorrect. That was a very large Holloway family in Virginia at the time. She was likely a member of that family which would mean her family had been in America for a couple of generations before she was born.

Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway had the following children:

2. i. HENRY2 HILL (son of Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway) was born about 1793 in Caroline Co., VA. He died on 08 Jun 1852 in Torrington, Goshen Co., WY (Oregon-California Trail). He married Elizabeth Holloway (daughter of John Holloway and Lucy Schuyler) on 14 Sep 1816 in Clark Co., KY. She was born about 1780 in Caroline Co., VA. She died about 1850 in Monroe Co., MO.

3. ii. GEORGE LITTLEWOOD HILL (son of Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway) was born on 12 Jan 1798 in Caroline Co., VA. He died on 30 Nov 1887 in Clinton, DeWitt Co., IL. He married Louisa Venona Hickman (daughter of William Lewis Hickman and Sarah Finney Thompson) on 15 Oct 1822 in Fayette Co., KY. She was born on 14 Dec 1802 in Madison Co., KY (near Boonesborough).She died on 02 Sep 1886 in Clinton, DeWitt Co., IL.

4. iii. ANNE CLARISSA HILL (daughter of Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway) was born on 25 Apr 1801 in Caroline Co., VA. She died on 12 Jan 1872 in Monroe Co., MO. She married William Pickett (son of Mace Pickett Jr and Sarah Neal) on 22 Mar 1821 in Fayette Co., KY. He was born about 15 Dec 1787. He died on 30 Dec 1846 in Monroe Co., MO.

5. iv. ELIZABETH HILL (daughter of Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway) was born about 1803 in Caroline Co., VA. She died in 1825 in Clark Co., KY. She married John Sharp (son of Elias Sharp) on 03 Nov 1821 in Fayette Co., KY. He died on 26 Dec 1846 in Pendleton Co., KY.

6. v. WILLIAM L. HILL (son of Samuel Hill and Clarissa Jane Holloway) was born on 01 May 1808 in Caroline Co., VA. He died on 16 Feb 1864 in Henry Co., KY. He married Amanda S. Walker (daughter of James Walker and Eliza S. Oliver) on 17 Dec 1834 in Henry Co., KY. She was born on 09 Apr 1816 in Henry Co., KY. She died on 19 Jan 1891 in Henry Co., KY.

Generation 2

2. HENRY2 HILL (Samuel1) was born about 1793 in Caroline Co., VA. He died on 08 Jun 1852 in Torrington, Goshen Co., WY (Oregon-California Trail). He married Elizabeth Holloway (daughter of John Holloway and Lucy Schuyler) on 14 Sep 1816 in Clark Co., KY. She was born about 1780 in Caroline Co., VA. She died about 1850 in Monroe Co., MO.

Notes for Henry Hill:Henry sold his 106 acre farm in Henry Co., KY in the fall of 1836. He acquired 160 acres of land in Monroe Co., MO in December 1836. He probably moved to Missouri in the fall of 1836.

Henry served in the War of 1812, entering service in Bowling Green, Caroline Co., about September 1814. He served his first term from 3 August to 24 September. He was a private in the company commanded by Captain William E. Gray, in the 30th regiment of Virginia Militia, commanded by Colonel Boy of King and Queen Co., VA and major George Washington of Caroline Co. This George was a nephew of the President. Henry served until the end of the war, between 60 and 90 days in two separate terms.

Henry was honorably discharged in January 1815. He was awarded a warrent for 40 acres of land for his service. He, however, never used the warrent. Nineteen years after his death, in 1871, the warrent, which had been misplaced, was sold to Willard Parker.

Henry fell ill of a cholera-like disease in the second month of is trek to California on the California/Oregon Trail. His grave was marked by a large sandstone slab. In 1931 a new stone was reengraved and place at his grave by the Historical Landmark Commission, but it incorrectly stated the date of his death. When Henry died the wagon train was about 35 miles east and south of Ft. Laramie, WY.

Notes for Elizabeth Holloway:Elizabeth was apparently a cousin of Samuel Clements (aka Mark Twain). Her mother, Lucy Schooler was either a younger sister or niece of Martha (Schooler) Lampton, mother of Samuel Clements.

Henry Hill and Elizabeth Holloway had the following children:

7. i. MARTHA ANN3 HILL (daughter of Henry Hill and Elizabeth Holloway) was born on 29 Dec 1819 in Probably Clark Co, KY. She died on 13 Oct 1873 in Winters, Yolo Co.,

Notes for George Littlewood Hill:

Sketch of George L. HillOne of the Pioneers of DeWitt County

George L. Hill was born January 12, 1797, in Caroline County, Virginia, near Fredericksburg. He was left fatherless at the age of twelve years, and with his widowed mother moved to Kentucky in 1815, and there took charge of her business, at the age of eighteen years. He then rented land of Lewis Hickman, whose daughter, Louisa V., he married October 20, 1822. While a renter in Fayette county there were born to them three children, Egbert O., Phoebe L., and Sarah L. In the year 1827 he returned to Henry county, Ky., where the remaining five children were born, Lewis S., John H., Emily H., Rodney P., and Benjamin T. In Henry county he purchased 104 acres of heavy timber which he cleared himself.In those early days, when settlers were few, it was the custom for the neighbors to band together and assist in clearing their farms. At such times it was customary to furnish whisky for the crowd. Mr. Hill noticed that his children began to like the sugar in the bottom of the glass and to ask for a little dram. This set him to thinking seriously of the fate that might be in store for them if they learned to like their dram. He and one of his neighbors made a firm resolve to do away with whisky, and concluded that if they could not get help to roll their logs without it they would do their rolling themselves. At first they were obliged to do their work alone, but their neighbors found them in earnest and at last joined them in their good work.In the year 1828 he professed religion, and with his wife joined the Baptist Church at New Castle.Being ambitious Mr. Hill was not content to stay on a small farm, so in 1835 he started out on horseback on a prospecting tour, and while passing through Illinois was delighted with the country. After returning to Kentucky he could think of nothing but Illinois, and in 1836 made a second trip to the State and purchased the farm of 640 acres on which he agreed to pay five dollars per acre. He moved his family to his new home in October, 1837. While in Clinton attending to the purchase of his farm he assisted in raising the third house in

DEATH OF MRS. LOUISA V. HILL

On last Saturday afternoon, at the closing hours of the day, Mrs. Louisa V. Hill passed from death unto life eternal, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. Mrs. Hill was a remarkable woman for one of

Generation 2 (con't)attending to the purchase of his farm he assisted in raising the third house in town. It was on the west side of the square where the Masonic hall now stands, as was called the Macon House.He could not immediately sell his farm in Kentucky so he borrowed from an old friend the money to pay for the Illinois farm. He made thirteen trips to Kentucky on horseback during the following twelve years to settle up his own and his mother�s estate. As Illinois was then a new State he with his family had to endure many hardships and privations, which were cheerfully borne. To sell his grain he was obliged to haul it to Chicago (then a village) with an ox team, and returning brought with him groceries and salt for the coming year. When his bacon was ready for market he would start for St. Louis, that being the best market for bacon and lard. For breadstuff he had to go to Springfield and Mechaniesburg. When the roads were impassable they had to do without until they were better, and at one time they were six weeks without breadstuff in the house. The next best thing was hominy beaten on a block, and the children did this, taking turns. The finer was sifted out for corn bread and the courser boiled for hominy. When a doctor was needed they had to send to Decatur. That was also the nearest point from which they could get their mail.One of the hardest privations that he and his wife had to endure was that of having no church privileges, so in his home, on the 1st day of February, 1839, was organized the first Baptist Church of Clinton, and for the following two years meetings ere held there.About the year 1846 he gave twenty acres of land to William McPherson, Baptist minister, for a home, and then he built the first Baptist Church in Clinton, furnishing the timber himself, hauling the logs to mill, and doing the work at his own expense. He was deacon of the church for twenty-two years, and faithfully did his duty. For years he furnished the fuel for the church, cutting the wood and hauling it himself. At the time of his death he was the only constituent member of the church he helped to organize, and to which he tenderly attached. He was the oldest pioneer settler known in the county. He was a man of sterling integrity, and was often heard to say that �his word was as good as his bond, � and it was never known otherwise. He was never sued in his life. His ambition for himself and his children was for them to be honest and Christian members of society. Mr. Hill�s sympathies were with the South in the troubles preceding the war, but when the first gun was fired on Sumter he said, with tears in his eyes, that he could not hold with those who fired on his country�s flag, as was after that until his death a strong Republican, casting his last vote for Blaine and Logan. He was an intimate and personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, who often visited him at his home. His wife preceded him to the better land a little over a year ago. He leaves six children, thirty-one grand-children, and fourteen great-grand-children.He was sick about two months before he died, and little could be done for him but to give him tenderest care which his children lovingly did. His disease was just a breaking up of the system, and he suffered terribly, but through it all his hope and trust in a risen Savior shone clear and bright and sustained him. He did not murmur but said he was ready and anxious to go, only waiting his Master�s call. And at the last, when his feet touched the cold stream, his Savior took him gently across, and the peaceful look on his grand old face showed that for him indeed death had lost its sting.

unto life eternal, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. Mrs. Hill was a remarkable woman for one of her years, and till the hour of her death she was In full possession of those keen, sharp faculties forwhich she had always been noted Forty-nine years ago, with her husband and children, she came from Kentucky to this county and settled upon the farm where she spent her last days. Mrs. Hill's maiden name was Louisa V. Hickman. She was born in Madison county, Kentucky, on the 14th of December, 1802. When she was but a child her parents removed to Fayette county, where her childhood and the early years of her married life were spent. On the 20th of October, 1822, she was united in marriage to George L. Hill, of Fayette county, Kentucky, and in the same county three of her children were born, in March, 1828, they removed to Henry county, Kentucky, and in the following November she was converted and united with the Baptist church. During the following nine years their five remaining children were born. On the 2d of October,1837, they left Kentucky for their new home in Illinois, and on the 19th of the same month they reached this county and settled on the farm where they have lived for nearly forty-nine years.Mrs. Hill was an earnest Christian woman, and in her home the present Baptist church of Clinton was organized on the 1st of February, 1839. During the following three years all the services of the church were held in their home. From the time of her conversion in November, 1828, till her death, Mrs. Hill was a faithful and consistent Christian. Her death, peaceful and calm, was but the triumph of a noble and useful life. The prayer of her life was for the salvation of those around her, and it was a gratification to her to know that all of her children and quite a number of her grandchildren have made a profession of religion. Mrs. Hill was a woman of positive convictions, and was always ready to express and defend what she considered to be the truth.Mrs. Hill was the mother of nine children, three of whom preceded her to the better land. She leaves her aged husband and six children to mourn the death of a loving wife and mother. Her surviving children are:Egbert O. Hill, of Ozark, Mo.; Lewis S. Hill, of Alexandria, Minn.; Mrs. Phebe L. Beatty, Mrs. Emily H. Weld, Rodney P. Hill and Benj. T. Hill. Among her descendants are thirty grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.

HILL, Louisa (HICKMAN)October 01, 1886SKETCH OF MRS. LOUISA V. HILLSome Incidents in Mrs. Hill's LifeWhen Mr. and Mrs. Hill first went to house-keeping in Fayette county, they lived in a small house on her father's farm. Having no furniture, their bedstead was built in the side of the house. Their first meal was eaten from Mr. Hill's clapboard, with a skillet, a tin cup and a shoe-knife (Mr. Hill being a shoe-maker) as cooking and eating utensils. The way she managed to cook their food was, first she baked her corn-bread, and having no lid to the skillet she had to turn the bread to bake it; then she cooked her meat; and then, washing her skillet, she boiled the water and made her coffee, and having but one cup, they drank their coffee together.

When they moved to Henry county, the place they bought was rough timberland, with no improvement save a small cabin containing one room. While there they improved and cleared the farm, raising cotton and wool, Mrs. Hill doing the carding, spinning and weaving from which the clothes for the family was made. The way she got a start for clothing her family, she spun for a neighbor and got two ewes, and the following spring these ewes had twin lambs. Before she was married she lived with an uncle and took charge of his weaving house, managing one loom and overseeing five others. When her uncle heard what she had done, he sent her six pure Merino sheep, and from these she brought fifty to this county.

One morning her uncle said to his niece and daughters, "Well, girls, I have just driven in sixty milk cows to the pail; now if any of you have any claim on me I want you to make it known." No one spoke but his niece, who said, "Uncle, I don't know as I have any claim on you, but when I am married you may give me a cow." And sure enough, after moving to Henry county, her uncle coming to visit her, brought with him a fine-blooded cow and calf, and from these came the 30 head she brought to DeWitt county with her. Before she was married she was very noted as a weaver. Twice, cloth of her weaving took the silver mug at the State fair in Kentucky. To the present day there is in the family a quilt and many other articles of her own manufacture. For many years after moving here she continued the manufacture of all the clothing for her family.

Never believing in slavery, having been taught from infancy that it was wrong, for her father never would own slaves, she has often said while living in a slave State that she felt like Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah, and his warning appeared to apply to her, "Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city," and when they left Kentucky she made a solemn vow, "If the Lord would let me live to reach a free State never will I make a track on slavery's soil." And she never broke it. Often has she said she never had a desire to visit her native land, and she never would visit her brother or son in Missouri until it was a free State.

They started from Kentucky October 2d, 1837, in a "Pennsylvania scow-boat wagon," Mrs. Hill riding on horseback, carrying her youngest child, Bennie, in her arms. In their wagon was household goods, 50 pounds of wool carded ready for the wheel, a large amount of linen, cotton, and woolen cloth of her own manufacture; and having a thought of the coming winter she also brought 13 bushels of peaches and 6 bushels of apples of her own drying. Her oldest son, Egbert, walked and drove their cattle. When evening came they would pitch their tent and cook their suppers, also food enough for the next day. At one time they stopped two days and washed, baked their bread, and prepared other food for the remainder of their journey.

On the evening of the 19th of October they landed in DeWitt county and stopped a few days with Mrs. Hill's father, a portion of which is now owned by Hickman Mills. Mr. Hill previously bargained for his place, 640 acres, where the home now is, in the preceding fall after going to Missouri with the intention of buying. The place they bought had a little log cabin containing one room with a dirt floor, a slat door and no window. The fire-place, with a wooden back plastered with mud, the place for the fire being dug out and lower than the floor. The children, to keep warm, used to sit around the edge of the fire-place and hang their feet over next to the fire. Mr. Hill immediately went to work to improve the house. He made a puncheon floor, sawed out a log about as large as three small panes of glass, and tacked a greased cotton cloth over it for a window light. After a time another improvement was made by putting in an oiled paper in place of the cloth. From time to time the house was improved until it had six rooms on the lower floor, two upstairs, and a cellar�as it now stands. After being here several years she got word that her brother-in-law was coming from Kentucky to pay them a visit. Being too proud to have him come and see her puncheon floor, she and her daughter went to work, cut rags, sewed and wove them into a carpet before he reached here. This was the first carpet ever used in a house along Salt Creek, and was regarded as a great curiosity.

When Mr. Hill used to go to Kentucky on business, making 12 trips on horseback in 13 years, she used to manage the farm. At one time while he was away the horses all sickened and died, except a two-year-old colt, which, to use her own words, "never peeped through a collar." Mrs. Hill said, "Leaving my girls to manage the house I took my bonnet and gloves and went to the field with my boys, and by hiring a horse when I could, and borrowing when I could, we broke the ground, planted the grain, and had the corn plowed and laid by when Mr. Hill returned." When out of bread-stuffs, when the day's work was done, she would have the children pick out the corn, and by turns they would pound it on the "old hominy block," sieve out the fine for bread, and use the coarse for hominy.

Her home was used as a place of worship for many years. She would never turn a minister from her door, no matter to which denomination he belonged. When a minister arrived word would be sent to all the neighbors that there would be preaching, and they would always come. Her house was known far and near as the "Baptist Tavern."

She was always a dear lover of flowers, and her garden, the seeds and bulbs of which were brought from Kentucky, was the wonder of the country round.

Many times has she repeated, and she always made it a point to tell, her three principles: "I am an Abolitionist but not an Amalgamationist, a Republican and a Baptist, and I have brought up all my children in the same way." And they have never departed from her teaching, for she has not a child or grandchild who is not loyal and honors her words.

She was always a great reader and always took great pride in informing herself on questions pertaining to her country, which she loved. But above all else she loved her Bible, having read and re-read it many times. During her last days her Bible was her greatest comfort, for she retained her intellect till the very last. She kept up a large correspondence with her numerous relatives and friends, and until only a few weeks before her death she did her own writing.

Suffering as she did in her last illness, and for many years she has been afflicted, not a murmur or complaint ever passed her lips. Always a prayer for the Lord to give her strength to bear her burdens. She was ready to go and was only waiting her Maker's call. Her last days were a constant prayer for the Lord to relieve her sufferings. Her last words spoken to her daughter, Mrs. Emily WELD, were, "Oh, my child! I shall soon be to the Golden Gate. Jesus is by my side and is leading me across the River of Jordan, and all is bright. Tell all my children to meet me in Heaven."

She was always a thorough-going, earnest, consistent Christian woman, always free spoken on any subject, always ready in the hour of sickness and trouble to minister to the wants of her neighbors�a kind, indulgent and affectionate mother and friend.

Agreeable to her request, the Rev. D. Mac ARTHUR conducted the funeral services, which were held in the church she helped to establish and build up in Clinton. A large number of the old settlers united with her family and friends in paying the last tribute to her memory.

Notes for Anne Clarissa Hill:In 1850, Ann is living with her son Samuel and his wife Mildred. There is considerable confusion about Ann's name. Her brother, George Littlewood Hill, in his copy book refers to her as "Ann Fisher Hill." Some Pickett descendants say her name was Ann Frances Hill. There is also some confusion about the date of birth. If "Ann Fisher" is the same person as our Nancy, George Littlewood Hill has her date of birth as April 25, 1801, while a Pickett descendant has her date of birth as September 30, 1799. In the 1850 Monroe County census she is listed as Nancy A.. In the 1860 census she is listed as Claraey. In the 1870 census she is listed as Nancy. Since during the time she was born Nancy was a common nickname for Ann, her name was probably Ann Clarissa Hill and her nickname was probably Nancy.

William and Anna lived first in Fayette Co., Kentucky, but within a few years moved to Henry Co., Kentucky, where her mother, Clarissa and brothers all eventually moved. William and Anna owned 50 acres in Henry Co. on the Little Kentucky River. They sold their land in Henry Co. in October 1837 and moved to Monroe Co., Missouri where her brother, Henry, have moved a short time before.

Notes for Stephen Clever Hill:Necrological

Death, the reaper, has been busy in our coummunity this week and two of our old and respected citizens have paid the debt of nature. Stephen Hill died at the residence of his son, George about one o'clock on the morning of January 17th, and we herewith give a short sketch of his life:

Stephen Clever Hill was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, April 3, 1813. Mr. Hill was converted in boyhood and joined the Methodist church, of which he remained a faithful member until the day of his death. In 1838 he migrated to Monroe county, Missouri, were he resided for 19 years. During his stay in Missouri he married Miss Martha Ann Hill, who preceded him, a score of years, to the world beyond. Eight children were born to this union, four of whom are dead and four - H. A., F. S., G. W. and J. H. Hill - survive him. In 1852 he came to California, settling first near Coloma, El


24. v. GEORGE ELZY HILL (son of William L. Hill and Amanda S. Walker) was born on 03 Aug 1856 in Smithfield, Henry Co., KY. He died on 30 May 1931 in Charlestown, Clark Co., IN. He married Fitzhugh Lespy Watkins (daughter of John Evan Watkins and Rachel Totten) on 06 Oct 1881 in Henry Co., KY (Smithfield Baptist Church). She was born on 12 Feb 1863 in Henry Co., KY. She died on 30 Dec 1953 in Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY.

vi. CLAY MEAL HILL (son of William L. Hill and Amanda S. Walker) was born on 19 Aug 1858 in Henry Co., KY. He died on 07 Jan 1930. He married (1) MATTIE H. VAN CLEAVE (daughter of William T. Van Cleave and Sarah F. Watkins) on 08 Nov 1882 in Henry Co., KY (Smithfield Baptist Church). She was born on 11 Feb 1860 in Henry Co., KY. She died on 23 Aug 1921 in Nelson Co., KY.

After the death of his wife he went to Florida and remarried. He lost all of his money during the depression. Clay is buried him in Smithfield, Kentucky Cemetary. Charles Hill's name is on the other side of the tombstone. However, Charles was buried in Bardstown. (Source: Betty Washburn Hill)

Generation 3

7. MARTHA ANN3 HILL (Henry2, Samuel1) was born on 29 Dec 1819 in Probably Clark Co, KY. She died on 13 Oct 1873 in Winters, Yolo Co., CA. She married Stephen Clever Hill (son of Abraham Hill and Elizabeth Houston) on 20 Feb 1845 in Monroe Co., MO. He was born on 03 Apr 1813 in Bourbon Co., KY. He died on 17 Jan 1894 in Yolo Co., CA.

Notes for Martha Ann Hill:Although Martha and Stephen were both born with the last name of Hill, they appear to be unrelated. Based on census information concerning their children, Stephen and Martha moved to California somewhere around 1852 - 1855. This would coincide with the information on the death of Henry, Martha's father. Henry died on the trip from Monroe Co., Missouri to California in 1852. Stephen and Martha were listed in the 1870 Yollo Co., CA. census as having land worth $12,800 and personal property worth $2,000.

Stephen and Martha were part of the Hill wagon train to California in 1852. Apparently they suffered some illness which affected many of their fellow immigrants on the Trail. The wagon train included Martha's father, Henry, and her sister, Clemencia, both of whom died on the Trail.

They settled in near Cottonwood in Yolo Co., CA. where Stephen owned 680 acres of land and became a sucessful farmer.

13

G. W. and J. H. Hill - survive him. In 1852 he came to California, settling first near Coloma, El Dorado County, where he resided until January 1858, when he settled on the ranch now owned by his son J. H. Hill, near Winters. Here he has since resided with the exception of five years in Ventura. Since he return from Ventura, in 1890, he has made his home with his son George. His funeral took place from the Methodist church on Thursday afternoon, the 18th inst., and was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends. The services were conducted by Rev. D. Bauer, pastor of the Methodist church, assisted by Revs. Culton and Waddell. The pall-bearers, old friends of the departed, were L. Moody, J. H. Harlan, R. Morrison, W. H. Robinson, William Baker and J. Jeans. The body was encased in a metallic casket covered with black cloth and richly mounted. The services at the church wee simple but impressive, and Mr. Bauer's discourse was so appropriate that we give it entire.

A warm, faithful friend to his church as transferred his membership to that of the church triumphant.He is no longer responsible to our Roll Call. He has accomplished his earthly pilgrimage, and answered at the bar of God. We are not supposed to bring to mind or dwell upon his faults, for none are perfect, but throw over them the silent mantle of charity, and dwell upon his virtue, which we will cherish in our memories, and practice in our lives.

In the 10th verse of the 90th psalm we read "The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength, they be four score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." The life of our brother was a remarkable illustration of this Scripture. His years a little more than spanned the four score. During his three score and ten, he did not always sail o'er placid water. He had the ups and downs and trials, incident to a busy frontier life; but he labors and sorrows: of his last decade, would have well nigh swamped the stanch life-boat of a strong man, of middle age. Let us review a few of his sorrow that we may see what the frail old man had to battle with. In addition to dimming vision, faltering steps, pains and aches, incident to approaching old age; our brother was often called to sorrowful mourning for departed loved ones during his ten years of borrowed life. Two daughters, dear to the paternal heart, happily married, and in the early years of hopeful womanhood, fell victims to the angel of death. One brother and one sister also paid the last debt of mortals, during that period. Two sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law and also a grandson, eight in all have in the past ten years, passed over the river, each death helping to swell the billows of sorrow, that have rolled over his soul, and pierced his frail body, with the pangs of bereavement.

Is it any wonder, that his life was soon cut off, and his soul flew away under such mighty trials of the living he has been called to endure? Many a man of middle age would have broken down under the load, but he leaned upon the strong arm of the Almighty. He put his trust in Him, and bowed submissively to the rod of chastisement. It was my privilege to visit him often during the past year of his life, and I always found him ready to praise the Lord for His goodness, and relying upon His mercy. In that room of suffering I learned more of a father's yearning love for his children than I have ever known before. How he desired to bind them together by the strong band of love, that they might always dwell together in peace and harmony. Heaven seemed to bow and stoop low, in time of prayer, such was his fervent faith and trust. His boys, their wives and his grand children, were the burden of his prayer, but he never forgot to pray for his church and his pastor. Such was the life, as I saw it, that has passed away. He will be greatly missed, by none so much as that faithful son and daughter-in-law, upon whom the great burden of care and waiting has fallen. No more will you hear the inarticulate, faltering voice calling you for assistance. The many, many weary steps you have had to take in all these months will not have to be repeated, but you will be rewarded in heaven by Him who has said, "Honor they father." These others who have been often and occasionally there will miss him. Father's room will be vacant. I, too, will miss him. It was a benediction to me to visit that room. But why should we mourn? He was old and full of days, and has gone to his rest.

It can be truly said of him "though by reason of strength his days were four score years," yet his strength brought labor and sorrow; and as we look upon that pale, wan face for the last time, we can say with sorrow yet with relief "Farewell brother," "Farewell father" - "Thou are gone to the grave but we will not deplore thee." Rest in Jesus; sell forever with Him, and the loved ones gone before. We too, will join you soon.

32. ii. JOHN WESLEY HILL (son of Joseph Littlewood Hill and Mary Elizabeth Hill) was born


Dear friends and neighbors, "Our days are passing swiftly by." Will our span measure fourscore years? or shall we fall short of that goal? It matters not, so that we can meet our God in peace, realizing that we have been yoke-fellows with Him in trying to redeem and build up humanity, lovingour Maker with all our heart and doing unto others as we would have them to unto us. Life is worth gaining. The grave is not the end, or the best and highest longs of the human breast, and all the wisdom of the ages shall come to naught. I exhort you in presence of the dread angel of death Live for God and humanity, even to the sacrificing of every selfish pride.

Mrs. Anna E. Hill died last Thursday evening, 20 November 1919 at the home of her daughter, Mrs.Walter Scott on 21st street N.W. She had been ill for about five months, but neither the devoted attention of loved ones nor the trained skill of science could stay the coming of death, and gradually it became imminent that her life was about to be closed. Her large circle of loved ones are unanimous in their testimony of the radiance and usefulness of that life. At the age of ten years it was fully consecrated to the service of Christ, and for 74 years she followed so closely where her Master lead, that her example will for long be an inspiration to all who knew her.

Blackwell and Mrs. Walter Scott of Puyallup; Mrs. Edward Linch, Mrs. Katherine Barnes and Mrs. James T. Seely of Seattle; Mrs. Allen Scott of Kamilche; and W.L. Hill of Tacoma.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Baptist church and the large attendance, was well as the profusion of flowers, testified of the esteem in which she was held. Her six grandsons, Percy and Edward Hill of Tacoma; Robert Scott of Tacoma; Alex Scott of Kamilche; and Lois Blackwell and Floyd Chase of Puyallup, as a last act of love, performed the duty of pall bearers.

Her much beloved pastor, Reverend W. P. Osgood, conducted the funeral services and the little worn out body was laid to rest was laid to rest in Woodbine cemetery, under the direction of the

Notes for Edwin Weld:Edwin was educated at Roxbury, Mass. He went into the commission business at 18 years of age. Then he began and had charge of filling in 70 acres of the city of Boston. In 1853 he came west with a steam excavator and cut through the bluff of Salt Creek for the Illinois Central Railroad. When that was finished he went to work filling in the end of the bridge at La Salle Co., across the Illinois River. He gave up work in 1858 and settled down to farming. He was a boarder of George Littlewood Hill's and later married his daughter, Emily. He served as a Justice of the Peace, Supervisor, Road Commissioner, School Director and Township Treasurer.

WELD, Edwin Sr.June 19, 1908Clinton RegisterEDWIN WELD, SR., CALLED TO REST.Leading Resident of Texas Township Dies Suddenly After an Illness of Several Months.Edwin WELD, Sr., living one mile south of Clinton, had been sick several months, most of the time being confined to his bed. For about a month he had been able to sit up, and some of the pleasant days last week was out of the house in his invalid chair. He seemed much better and Saturday the family felt more encouraged. About 12 o'clock that night he took malted milk nourishment, and soon afterward became much worse. A doctor was called but he could do nothing to give relief and death came about 3 o'clock.

Edwin Weld was born in Boston, Massachusetts, December 30, 1825, and lived 82 years, 5 months and 14 days. His father was a farmer and he remained on the farm until he was 18 years old when he engaged in the commission business which he followed three years. He then began contracting, and had charge of the work of filling in 70 acres, which are now a part of Boston. He continued in this work there until 1863, when he came to DeWitt county and bought land in Texas township which became the homestead where he spent the rest of this life.

He brought to Illinois a steam shovel; the Illinois Central main line was being built through this county and he took a contract to cut through some of the Salt Creek hills. He then contracted to fill in at the end of the bridge over the Illinois river in LaSalle county. He quit this kind of work in 1858 and began farming. He added to his landed interests until he owned 490 acres in Texas township, part of which is northeast of Maroa, and about 20 acres just south of Clinton. The homestead has two of the best farm residences in the county, one being occupied by his son.

In September 1855 he was married in LaSalle, Illinois, to Miss Emily HILL, daughter of George HILL, father of R. P. Hill of Clinton. To them one son and seven daughters were born, of whom the following, with their mother, survive: Mrs. Clark ALLIS of Medina, New York; Mrs. J. E. HARTSOCK of Dayton, Ohio; Mrs. C. S. BOGARDUS of Clinton; Misses Frances and Nettie at home. Ann died when six years old; Edwin lives near the old home.

Mr. Weld was a member of the Presbyterian church. His first vote was cast for Henry Clay, the

She married (1) JACOB VON BAUMBACH (son of Frederick Von Baumbach and Sarah Decker). He was born in Oct 1870 in Norway. She married (2) JAMES TAINTER SEELEY (son of George H. Seeley and Lottie M.

Generation 3 (con't)Mr. Weld was a member of the Presbyterian church. His first vote was cast for Henry Clay, the Whig candidate, and he had been a Republican since that time. He had held several township offices, among them supervisor, highway commissioner and school treasurer, the latter many years. He was a member of DeWitt lodge No. 84, A. F. and A. M., and Goodbrake Chapter No. 58, R. A. M. He had also taken the Eastern Star degree and was a member of Mystic Chapter No. 131.

Such, in brief, has been the life of a man who sought not, and cared not for the praise of the world. He was unassuming, and was attached to his home from which he was seldom absent, except on business. Perhaps no man ever attended more strictly to the business that was his own, and left the affairs of others to them. His life had been one of usefulness, and he had so lived that seldom, if ever, had he a real enemy. As a neighbor he was accommodating; as a friend he was true; as a man he was honest. His life is worthy of example.

Funeral services were held Tuesday in the home at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Charles Davies of Fairbury. The Masons conducted the usual rites of the order at the grave. The pall bearers were John Killough, Jacob Ziegler, C. W. McCord, J. E. Johnson, E. Sylvester and E. Thiebault. Burial was in Woodlawn cemetery.

He died on 20 Nov 1935 in Ridgeway, Orleans Co., NY.

Notes for Gilbert Cornelius Kelly:Death of the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors

After a long struggle with that most deceptive of all diseases, Gilbert C. Kelly quietly passed from time to eternity yesterday afternoon, in the thirty-ninth year of his age. Eight years ago he was stricken downwith preliminary symptoms of consumption, and soon the disease showed that it had a confirmed grip on him. The climate of Alabama, Texas and Colorado was tried in vain, for while he might have temporary relief it was only that coming from a change of scene. In the prime of his young manhood death calls him hence.

Gilbert C. Kelly was born in Texas township on the 24th of June, 1853, and died on the farm where he was born. When eighteen years old he began teaching school, which occupation he followed during the winter, and in the summer months he assisted his father on the farm. Desiring the better to qualify himself for school work and also for farm life he began a course of instruction in 1874 at the Illinois University in Champaign. In 1884 he was united in marriage with Carrie H., daughter of Mr. Edwin Weld. In 1886, he was elected to represent his township in the board of supervisors, and before the close of his first term he was elected chairman to fill the unexpired term of Smith Fuller, who had been elected county treasurer. Every year since that time Mr. Kelly was elected chairman of the board. He was a Democrat in politics, but in the discharge of his official duties he was free from partisanship. Herecognized his Republican colleagues and always gave them a fair share of chairmanships on the important committees. As a presiding officer he was courteous, and was always prompt in dispatching business so that no unnecessary cost would arise from long sessions.

23


Mr. Kelly was a prominent man in the councils of his party, and had it not been for his health he would have been called to fill more lucrative offices.

Notes for Rodney Perry Hill:RODNEY P.

Generation 3 (con't)indicating in its appearance that it is controlled by one who understands his business.

Mr. Hill was born in Henry County, Ky., April 20, 1837. The ancestral history will be found in the sketch of his brother, B.T. Hill, on another page of this work. The temple of learning in which he studied during boyhood had but one window and was built and furnished in a primitive fashion. However, he was able to acquire a practical knowledge of the principal branches of study, and having an active mind and a desire for information he has added to his knowledge in various ways from year to year. He remained with his parents until his marriage, when he at once settled where he now resides. But little clearing had been done on the land and he now sees around him the fruits of his labors in the many comforts of modern life.

In 1858 Mr. Hill led to the hymeneal altar Miss Ellen Reese, a sister to the wife of B.T. Hill, and a lady of fine character, domestic knowledge and social nature. The happy union has been blest by the birth of four children, of whom we note the following: Ester Ann, who was graduated from the Clinton High School, is with her parents; Joseph B. is farming in Nebraska; William M. is married and living on a farm in the same State and Frederick C. is attending the High School in Clinton and will be graduated this year.

Mr. Hill was never farther west than Springfield, until two years ago, when he visited his sons in Nebraska; he has traveled East several times however. He never belonged to any society except the Union League. His first vote was cast for J.C. Fremont and he has staunchly adhered to Republican principles since that time. He has been School Director twenty-five years and has ever shown deep interest in the cause of education and other civilizing and elevating influences. The entire family holds membership in the Baptist Church and Mr. Hill was a Sunday-school teacher for many years.

Notes for Benjamin Thomas Hill:BENJAMIN T. HILLAmong the enterprising agriculturists of DeWitt County is the gentleman above named who has become known as a man of strict probity in the various relations of life, energy in any pursuit to which he gives his attention, and pleasing social qualities. He is located on section 3, Texas Township, which has been his home since his infancy. His earliest recollections are of the log house which was the first home of the family in this county and of the primitive condition of the surrounding country, which was but sparsely settled and was still in haunt of various kinds of wild animals. As he grew older he took a part in the work of improvement and when he looks about him can see the results of his own labors on every hand.

Mr. Hill is of Southern birth and ancestry. His father, George L. Hill, was born in Caroline County, VA, near Fredericksburg, and lived there until he was about seventeen years old. He then went with his widowed mother to Kentucky and after attaining manhood was married in Henry County. His wife, Louisa V. Hickman, was born about twelve miles from the city of Lexington and grew to womanhood in Henry County. After their marriage George Hill and his wife remained in the same county on a farm until October, 1837, when they came to this State. Their journey was made with an ox-team and fifty head of fine sheep, horses, milk cows and oxen were driven through.

Mr. Hill bought six hundred and forty acres in DeWitt County, comprising a quarter each in sections 2, 3, 10 and 11. A few acres were fenced and a log house had been built; these constituted the improvements. He built a substantial log house on section 3, and began the labor required to reclaim the land and make it a fit habitation for civilized people. For fifty years he resided there and then entered into rest November 30, 1887, at the age of ninety years, ten months and eighteen days. The faithful and efficient wife passed away September 25, 1886, at the age of eighty-three years, nine months and eleven days.

The parental family includes five sons and three daughters, our subject being the youngest. The others are Egbert O., now living on a ranch in Christian County, Mo.; Mrs. Phebe L. Beatty, whose home is in Havana, this State; Mrs. Sarah L. Blaikie who died in 1867; Lewis S., a farmer in Douglas County, Minn.; John H., deceased; Emily H., wife of Edwin Weld whose home is near that of our subject, and Rodney P., who is living on section 2, Texas Township.

The subject of this notice was born in Fayette County, Ky., June 18, 1836, and was eighteen months old when brought by his mother on horseback to this county. He attended the old fashioned log schoolhouse with slab benches, puncheon floors and stick and clay chimney, and in the intervals of study worked and played as did other lads in pioneer settlements. June 24, 1860, he was married to Diana, daughter of Morgan and Esther Reese. This lady was born in Wales September 12, 1837, and in 1840 accompanied her parents to Oneida County, N.Y. In 1858 she came to this county to attend the wedding of

vi. LILLIE MAY HILL (daughter of Benjamin Thomas Hill and Diana Reese) was born on

Generation 3 (con't)Oneida County, N.Y. In 1858 she came to this county to attend the wedding of her sister and Rodney P. Hill and two years later was herself married to a member of the same family.

Mrs. Hill is the fifteenth child of her parents and has three sisters and two brothers living. Richard occupies the old homestead in New York; John lives in Vermilion County, III.; Mrs. Elizabeth Ellis resides in Independence, Mo.; Mrs. Maria Hyatt lives in the same city; Mrs. Ellen Hill lives in this county. Thomas Reese, a brother of Mrs. Hill, was a minister in the Baptist Church, in which several of the relatives of Mr. Hill on his mother's side had also been preachers.

Soon after his marriage Mr. Hill was given an interest in the homestead and took up his residence with his father on the place where he now resides. He and his wife have had six children; they lost one daughter in early infancy, and Freddie L., died at the age of eleven months. The surviving members of their family are Benjamin F., Superintendent of the Oakland School No. 2, in Chicago; Herbert W. who is teaching in Science Hill District, and Lillie May who is attending her brother's school in Chicago. The sons were graduated at Clinton and are well informed and equipped for the duties of life.

The first vote cast by our subject was for Abraham Lincoln and he continues to support the Republican principles. His brother Lewis was a private and Egbert a Captain in the Thirty-first Missouri Infantry during the Civil War; both were wounded, Egbert at Vicksburg, and Lewis at Ft. Donelson. Mr. Hill has held the offices of Road Master, School Trustee and School Director, in the last-named capacity having served twelve years. He belongs to DeWitt Lodge, No. 84, F.& A. M., and Goodbrake Chapter, No. 59 R.A.M. He and his wife belong to the Missionary Baptist Church and he has been a Deacon for twenty years. For twelve years he was Superintendent of the Sunday-school in the church at Clinton and he is still engaged in Sunday-school work now as a teacher. All of the children belong to the Baptist Church, three having been baptized at one time when the youngest was eleven years old.

Horace Hill

One of the saddest deaths it has been our duty to note for a long time is that of Mr. Horace Hill, which occurred at his home near Smithfield on last Saturday morning, after a brief illness of necrosis of the bowels. A specialist, from Louisville, assisted Dr. John Nuttall, performed an operation, but his life could not be saved.

Mr. Hill was well known throughout the county, and had many friends who will regret to learn of his untimely death. He was a successful farmer and stock raiser, and stood high both in social and financial circles. He leaves a wife, who was a Miss Lamaster, sister of our countyman, Z. H. Lamaster; six children, and two brothers, Elzie and Clay Hill. We extend our sympathy to the relatives and friends.

Notes for Martha Irene Montfort:Irene and Raymond did not have children. Notes for Raymond Drufle Wilborn:Source: The Oldham Era, La Grange, Oldham Co., KY, July 14, 1994Happy birthdayWilborn will celebrate 84th birthday as grand marshal-----------------------------------------------------------------LA GRANGE - Raymond Wilborn will celebrate his 84th birthday on Saturday in a special way -- as grand marshal of the Oldham County Day parade.Some 23 years ago, when the Project Guild initiated Oldham County Day, Wilborn, who was mayor of La Grange, led its first parade."We didn't know about calling him 'grand marshal' then, but that's what he was," said guild member Nancy Grass.Riding beside him in the parade will be his wife, Irene. "Somebody asked me where I'd be if I hadn't married Irene. I told him: 'the penitentiary,"' Wilborn joked.Guild member Ann Brown, who informed 'Wilborn of his being selected, said, "The Project Guild is so honored to have Raymond Wilborn as grand marshal for Oldham County Day. He is the most gracious, kind, caring humanitarian that I've ever known," she said, adding, "Raymond gives so much to other people. People don't know what he does for Oldham County. He keeps it to himself. He would give you the shirt off his back, and wouldn't have another one to put on."

63

wouldn't have another one to put on.""Is that the man I'm married to?" quipped Wilborn's wife, Irene, who shares a sense of humor with her husband, and a devotion to helping others.The couple was honored last year by the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce for a lifetime of contributions to the community. Through the years, the Wilborns have contributed to the La Grange United Methodist Church, Westport Methodist Church, Westport Baptist Church, and Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church in Centerfield. They helped with the rebuilding of the First Baptist Church in La Grange after it was destroyed by fire. They always send a check to the victims of house fires.They continue to lend strong financial support to the John T. Walsh Park, helping with various needs there, including the installation of restrooms. Of the park, Wilborn said, "I always wanted to get something in Oldham County for the kids."The Wilborns also have assisted the Duerson-Oldham County library, WHAS Crusade forChildren, Cedar Lake Lodge, Boy Scouts, the Oldham County Fair Board, the American Red Cross and The Humane Society of Oldham County, Inc.They purchased the town clock on Main Street. That gift inspired this year's Oldham County Day parade theme: "Remember The Time . . ."For most of his life, Wilborn, a native of Oldham County, was a farmer, managing some farms on U.S. 42 and his own two of which were in Shelby County. He had orchards, raised chickens, dairy cattle and tobacco.The Wilborns moved to La Grange in 1967, and in 1968, Wilborn was appointed to the LaGrange City Council, to fill out an unexpired term. Next, he was elected mayor, running without opposition the first time. During the following campaign, Tom Moock ran against Wilborn. 'I voted for him, and told Irene to vote for him, too," Wilborn said. The day of the election, County Clerk Martha Davis called for Wilborn to come up to the courthouse because he was winning. "I can't help it, I'm sorry," Wilborn told her, explaining that he had voted for Tom. Wilborn remained as the city's mayor until 1978.In addition to: having served two terms as mayor of La Grange, Wilborn twice was president of theNorth Oldham Lions Club, and he was on the board of the formerMallory-Taylor Hospital.Of all his achievements, Wilborn says he is proudest and most thankful that he can contribute to worthwhile causes.Was he surprised to have been named grand marshal? "Oh, my goodness. I never dreamed such a thing. It's a great honor, don't you know?" he said.Wilborn's long-time friendship with Oldham County Judge/executive John Black, also a former LaGrange mayor, is well-known. The two enjoy a mutual respect and indulge in much good natured ribbing. Black's nickname for Wilborn is "Windbag," "Because I talk so much, I reckon," `Wilborn said.Wilborn understood that his friend planned to have a few things to say about him at the ProjectGuild's luncheon honoring the grand marshal, which was held on Tuesday at ImmaculateConception Church. But, as Black now knows, Wilborn wouldn't

be upstaged or at a loss for words. According to the man himself, he prepared a few remarks of his own.

She was a member of Louisa United Methodist Church.

In the 1950s, she volunteered for the Ground Observer Corps, a joint civilian-military effort to defend the United States against an enemy air attack, which required climbing a tall tower to spot enemy planes. She developed an interest in politics and always followed what was going on in the world.

Fay loved her home and enjoyed doing all of her own yard work and gardening for many years. She considered having the same wonderful and helpful neighbors for the past 47 years a blessing. She especially enjoyed playing bridge with her bridge group. She was also once president of the ABC Club, a local civic organization. She took up golf at the age of 60 and became quite an accomplished golfer, playing daily with her husband during the winter months in Naples, Fla.

Fay was also a talented artist, painting Pennsylvania Dutch themes on plates and doing needlework. She enjoyed refinishing and painting furniture and decorating her home. She had a flair for fashion.

She is survived by her daughter, Kay Yazdi and husband Ali of Oak Ridge; grandson Todd Yazdi and wife Shannon of Knoxville and granddaughter Farah Yazdi McGhee and husband Terry of Oak Ridge; brother Donald T. Hill and family of Lawrenceburg; great-grandchildren Carson McGhee, Faith McGhee and Maeve Yazdi; and many nieces and nephews.

Notes for Raymond Julius Hill Jr.:The following was read at the funeral of Raymond Hill by his nephew, James Hill. It was written by his brother, Roland:

My brother, Raymond, and I were identical twins in the eighth

75

My brother, Raymond, and I were identical twins in the eighth grade at John G. Carlisle School in Covington, Ky. At the time we were 13 years old. During an interlude in 'The Pirate's Daughter,' a musical play one step below high school musicals today, the teacher selected me and my brother, Raymond, to sing a song entitled, 'Two Little Magpies.' It went like this:Two little magpies set upon a rail.Before long they were fighting each other.So they fought and they fit and they scratched and they bitUntil all that was left upon the rail was the beak of one of the littlemagpies and the other little magpie's tail.Before singing this song, we had our faces blacked. We sang this song in our church, Grace Reformed Church, during the Christmas season. Earlier we sang this song from the stage of the Holmes High School auditorium where we went to high school in Covington."

"My brother Raymond, was born left handed. Although we played together, I never knew he was left handed until I was seven or eight years old. The teachers in school those days were training him to write right-handed. He made the conversion but not like a left-hander like President Obama writes or an aunt of mine wrote. I never gave it a thought but I think it made him stronger mentally and physically When playing ball, his swing at the ball was not as smooth as a typical right-hander. It lacked the power of a left-hander.The following was written and read at Raymond's funeral by his nephew, James:Raymond Julius Hill, Jr. and his twin brother, Roland George Hill,were born December 15, 1914 in Algiers (now New Orleans), Louisiana. They were the sons of Raymond Julius Hill, Sr. and Lydia Louise Wiebelt Hill. The twins were baptized in the Episcopal Church in Algiers. The family moved to Covington, Kentucky about 1920.

The brothers attended Third District Elementary School in Covington. The family bought a house in the 1920's at 805 Philadelphia Street in Covington, just three blocks from the school, and remained there until Raymond, Sr.'s death in 1962. Raymond and Roland attended John G. Carlisle Junior High School in 1927 and 1928. The family attended Grace Reformed Church (later United Church of Christ) and the boys were confirmed into membership on April 1, 1928 by Rev. William E. Miller, Grace Church's longest serving pastor. The twins went on to attend Holmes High School in Covington from 1929 to their graduation on June 13, 1933. Roland recalls that their only graduation present was a new suit for each one, as this was during the Great Depression.

Raymond and Roland both attended two years of night school back at Holmes High School, taking business courses in typing, bookkeeping and shorthand. This additional education would serve them well in future employment with the federal government. After high school, Raymond began working for the Covington Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He later worked for the U. S. Truss Company in Cincinnati. Roland recalls that Raymond worked as Christmas seasonal help with him at the Cincinnati Post Office in December, 1938.


76


It was around this time that Raymond became a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, either North Star SDA Church on Levassor Avenue in Covington or the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Taylor Mill.

Raymond was hired by the federal government in 1940 or 1941 to work for the General Accounting Office in Washington, DC prompting his move from Kentucky to Maryland. He later worked for the General Services Administration and had a career of 40 years with the federal government.
