Dear Hill researchers, Recently I secured (by Interlibrary loan) a copy of Memoirs of Rolla Bennett Hill 1891 -1963. 74 pages. His father was Charles Robert Hill "the tenth of thirteen children born on a homestead in central Illinois in 1869." The father married Lulu Morgan (from Morgan County, IL) early in 1891. Rolla says he was born in October of 1891 in Franklin, Illinois. Is there a town Franklin, or does he mean Franklin County, Illinois? ---- then the parents divorced. He had lived in Clinton, Missouri where the father had a married sister. Later the father, Charles Robert Hill and son, Rolla, were in Rathdrum, Idaho. He mentions an Uncle George --- and Aunt Emma. Then his father and son returned to "Illinois where the paternal grandparents lived" --- "My grandparents were Isaac Hill and Sarah Daugherty. He was born in April, 1827, on Webb's Prairie in southern Illinois. His father, Richard, had moved there from Kentucky many years before with his father, also Isaac , who was a staunch citizen and a pillar of the Baptist Church. This first Isaac was killed when they were raising the roof of a new church at Webb's Prairie. His father, John W. had come to Kentudky from North Carolina ---" This may or may not be of interest to someone --- Nola (Hill) in KS.
