Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5cB.2ACI/593 Message Board Post: While searching for other things in the "Oregon Sunday Journal", Portland Oregon newspaper dated Sept 23, 1906, I came upon a photo and article titled, "Four Generations in One Pioneer Family Assemble". The photo shows: Almoran HIll, Frances Marion Hill, James Lincoln Hill and Beava Jerlean Hill. The accompanying article has the following text: Four generations in one pioneer family recently posed for a friend with a camera. They are: Almoran Hill, aged 84 years, Francis Marion Hill, aged 59 years; James Lincoln Hill, aged 27 years; and Beava Jerlean Hill, aged 2 years. This unusual group was photographed in the yard of the farm, on which Almaron Hill has lived since 1845. Mr. Hill and his cheery wife, two years his junior, are pioneers of 1843, having crossed the plains in ox teams under the leadership of Captain Jesse Applegate. At Walla Walla the party constructed boats and Mr. Hill was under-sawyer in whipping out all the timber. On reaching the Oregon country, Mr. Hill went immediately to Washington County and settled on what is known as the Hallett place, which he sold 18 months later for 400 bushels of wheat and moved his to his present home, about two miles east of Gaston. The brass kettle which was their one cooking utensil while crossing the plains and in their early Oregon Home, has been presented to H.K. Himes for the museum in the city hall. Fourteen children have been born to this pioneer couple, seven of whom are living today in Oregon and Washington. Mrs. Hill says she was a year and a half in Oregon before another white woman was in her house. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hill have a large fund of Indian and pioneer stories to relate all of them being incidents of their early life in the Pacific Northwest." I can email the photo and article to anyone who requests it. This is not my family so I have no other information.
