Thanks Harold, for the personal information on my family. It makes them seem more real to me. My Grandpa was the older son John Harrison Hill. Margaret also had a daughter...Elizabeth (Betty). She first married A.W. Copeland and then married George Anderson.
Margaret's husband was Henry Clay Hill. It is his 2nd wife whose name I am looking for. I thought maybe with all of the obits being written, that someone may know her name.
Thanks again.
Joy

1845 and homesteaded 129 acres along Piney Creek on Oct 30 1857. They
lived in the Zion area the rest of their lives. Harrison and Lucinda united with the
Antioch Baptist Church in. 1848 and transferred to the LaCrosse Baptist Church
when it was organized in 1870. They later transferred to the Zion Hill Baptist Church,
where they remained loyal and esteemed members until their deaths.

My wings are drooping to Junebug!! Our monsoons are starting to come in and
the humidity and the heat are about to get me. :)
I have ask for help on my problem before but maybe with all of the obits
floating around, someone out there will know.
My g-grandpa, Henry C. Hill married Margaret E. Ramsey and had 3 children.
After she died, he remarried and had 2 more children. I have never been able
to find out her name. My grandpa Hill talked about her a lot..how good she
was to them, but he never mentioned her name. I think she must have died
between 1890 and 1900. I believe that they were living in Sage...I know in
LaCrosse Co. at the time. He married Ann Mc. about 1901 who he later
divorced.
I would love to know the 2nd wife's name. Her children were Mattie...I
believe that is for Martha and Elijah ..Lige..Oliver .
Thanks.
