She said "Thank the Lord, there are no rent houses in Heaven"

  She used a pearl handled umbrella instead of a walking cane.

  Made the hair wreath.  the center part is immediate family, the second circlet is cousins, and the large outer circlet is friends and pets.  (white flowers on the left side are from her pony's tail)

  Used a fan in church pretending to have hot flashed when in her 60's and 70's.

  Pinned up curls around her forehead when she napped, called them beau catchers.

  Told of a time when a boy rode miles on horseback to see her but she refused to see him because he had not told her he was coming.

  Made us tea cakes-kept them in the safe (tin on the back porch)

  Cashed WWI bonds ($300 per year) for 2 years to send Mary to college.

  Helped take care of me when my mother had Typhoid fever.  I was crawling. "

Notes for JOHN J. HILL:

Per Jan Craven:

Source of Birth Information: "Vance / Hill Bible at Harrison Co Historical Soc Museum, Marshall, TX  source for most of the info for this family.  Copy of record in file"

The source for all of the information on this family group is the Hill-Vance Family Bible in The Harrison Co Museum, Marshall TX.  Supplied to JC by Bill Randolph, 1995.     

M. A . Hill is in the 1860 Harrison Co census as follows

M A Hill-32f-Manager 5800 11660-SC

Wm C-12 m-SC

E A  - 6 f - SC                   

Daniel - 4m-SC

Elizabeth- 3f-TX

John  -  8/12 m - TX

From this we can assume that this family moved to TX around 1855 or 1856

or about the same time Thomas Chappell Hill did also.
