Mrs. HILL was the daughter of John

Greene County,
Indiana, where she resided with her parents until 1883, when her family moved to
York County,
Nebraska, where she lived until 1886, then moving to
Perkins County in western
Nebraska. She was one of the pioneer settlers of this
Nebraska county and was identified with the upbuilding of this part of the state, having owned and improved several different pieces of property.
She, with her family was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and lived and practiced that true Christian fellowship, always willing and anxious to do her part for the church and in fact all those in need of help.
She leaves a husband and one son, four brothers, Joseph J.; Edgar H.; Carol Speed; and John G. SEXSON, and many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
She visited
Greene County a few years ago and renewed many acquaintances of her girlhood days in Center Township.
