Notes:

From Hugh McQuery Bone's Family History: The motherless baby was taken into the heart and home of Grandfather and Grandmother Hill. She grew into womanhood as Anna Hill. She lived as a daughter in their home and many of the younger members of the family would look upon her much as they would an aunt instead of a cousin.

On October 15th, 1889 she was married to Louis Albert Mills, a member of a long established Decatur family, who, in later years would become a widely known lawyer in Illinois. He died on May 17th, 1947.

3 Children: Margaret - wife of Frank E. Walker , Walker Hill Mills - wife Rebecca McCredie Mills, Anna Louise Mills - never married.

Died:
Decatur Herald 1 Jul 1902 pg 5 Col 4

The death of Mrs.Eliza Hill, wife of H.W.Hill, occurred on Sunday morning at 8:30 oclock at the family residence on Pine street. It was not unexpected. Mrs. Hill has been ill since the first of March and during the past week or more her condition has been critical and the final dissolution was looked for at any time. Death was the result of old age and general debility.

Mrs.Hill was a native of Rowan county,N. Carolina where she was born on March 20, 1819. She was the daughter of James and Jane Stevenson and with her parents moved to Cape Giradeau county, Missouri when only seven months old. While a resident of that county she was married in 1843 to Hugh W. Hill.

Mrs. and Mrs. Hill left Cape Girardeau county in 1860 and settled in Montgomery county where they resided until 1866 when they came to Macon county. They first lived on W. William street, but later built the beautiful home at the end of Prairie Ave. on Pine street and have since made their home there.

Of the six children born to them only one is living, John N. Hill of Macon, who has been constantly at his mothers bedside with his aged father for several days past. Besides her husband Mrs. Hill is survived by nine grandchildren five children of John N. Hill, who resides with their parents near Macon and Hugh, Gussie and Emma Bone and Mrs. L. A. Mills all of this city.

Mrs. Hill has been a member of the Presbyterian church since girlhood. Her life has been one of devotion to her husband and family. One by one with the exception of a son she has suffered the loss of her own children and the love she so richly bestowed on them was transferred to her granchldren, to whom she has been more than a grandmother. Her simple life of devotion to the best that there is in womanhood and motherhood, her gentle generous neighborly interest in the welfare of her friends have earned for her not only the respect but the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. She has left to her family and friends the priceless heritage of a life well lived.

The funeral services will be held at 3 oclock this afternoon from the residence, 212 N. Pine street and the services will be conducted by Revs. W.H.Prestley and W.H. Penhallegon. The casket will be open from 10 am until 12 noon for the friends of the family wishing to view the remains.
