Surnames: HILL, NELSON, ANDERSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Qk.2ADI/2070 Message Board Post: Kenneth Hill (my father) and Carl Nelson were brothers born in Clinton. Their father Francis Joseph Hill and mother Linda (Nelson) Hill died in the flu epidemic in @1918 in Chicago. Both Linda and Francis were from Clinton. Francis served in the Spanish American War and upon his return home he moved his family to Chicago. They were only there a couple of months when they both died leaving the boys alone until family could come from Clinton for them. Carl was raised by his maternal grandmother Mathilda Anderson Nelson in Clinton and Ken was raised by his paternal relatives (an aunt Kitty Hunt in Los Angeles). A baby daughter was born 2 days before the death of Linda in Chicago. We don't know what happened to her. Does anyone have any information on this family? Thank you for your help.
