John HILLER, born near Hamburg, Germany, about 1831, married Mary LANCHOW, and in 1863 emigrated with his wife and three children to America, coming to Cattaraugus county and settling in East Otto. He was a brickmaker in his native country, but gave his attention to farming after locating here. He died in Ashford in 1868. His widow married William FOX, Sr., a native of Germany and a farmer. Mr. HILLER's children were Sophia (Mrs. A. STADLER); Henry J., who married Mary KING and resides in Plato; and Herman F., a general merchant and an extensive dealer in farm produce.
