W.D. HILL, FORMERLY OF SOUTH BEND DIES AT THE HOME OF DAUGHTER BURIED NEAR OLD HOMESTEAD Came to Cass County Over Half Century Ago – Now Rests Beside Husband at South Bend >From Friday’s Daily. Nancy Jane WELBORN was born in Todd county, Kentucky, April 30, 1840, and died at Davenport, Iowa, March 14, 1919, aged 78 years, 10 months and 14 days. When 12 years old, she moved with her parents to Schuyler county, Mo., where she lived until 1865. They then moved to a farm near the town of Louisville, where she was married May 10, 1868, to William D. HILL. They went to house keeping on the Hill homestead near South Bend, living there until his death on December 13, 1915. Since then she has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J.C. KLINE, living in Fairbury, Nebraska, about a year and a half and then moving with them to Davenport, Iowa, in September, 1917, where she remained until her death. She had suffered a great deal with chronic gastritis and her weakened condition caused her to fall November [28th or 29th], dislocating her hip. She was never able to walk afterward, owing to her weak condition and advanced years. Mrs. Hill was the mother of eight children, three of whom died in infancy and Minnie THORP, a fourth, in 1912. Those surviving her are Frank HILL, of Omaha; Eunice KLINE, of Davenport, Iowa; Jesse J. HILL, of Fort Morgan, Colorado, and Charles [last name left out], of Lincoln, Nebraska. Three brothers and eight grandchildren also survive her, namely: John WELBORN, of Indianola, Nebraska; Frank WELBORN, of Kline, Colorado, and Taylor WELBORN, of Seattle, Washington; Violet, Ruth and Florence THORP, Alvin and Lynn HILL; Hazel and Evalyne KLINE. Funeral services were held at the old home near South Bend Sunday, March 16th, and interment was made in the family cemetery.
