Ollie Hilton died in Troy Township, Mills County on 26 Dec 1896, age 60, a widow who had resided in Mills County for 15 years. I am seeking any information about her, but especially her husband's name, and where she lived before 1881.

The headstone in the Glenwood Cemetery says Ollie HELTON (sic) 7 Apr 1836 - 27 Dec 1896. That is in Section 3 Row 7 north to south, west to east. Perhaps you already found her in the 1895 census at this URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/Census/1895cs/95lyonsa.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/Census/1895cs/95lyonsb.htm On the 2nd URL is one Peter Helton and family. This is in Lyons Township. There is no Troy Township in Mills County. It is the 1885 census which might be helpful but unfortunately it is missing on the microfilm of the Mills County 1885 census. -- Cay Merryman http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/ Ruthilton@aol.com wrote: > > Ollie Hilton died in Troy Township, Mills County on 26 Dec 1896, age 60, a > widow who had resided in Mills County for 15 years.
