JOHN W. HILL (William)
John W. Hill,
farmer; P.O. Pleasant Hill; born in 1824 on the same farm he now
resides on; is a son of Nathan Hill, Sr., a native of Maryland and an
immigrant to this place with his parents when a mere boy; his
grandfather was among the first settlers of Newton Township. Our
subject's early life was that of a farmer boy; he remained at home
assisting in the farm duties till his marriage, which occurred at the
age of 19, with Miss Susan Weddle; Mr. Hill, after this event of his
life, began farming on his present place; here he has continued the
pursuit of agriculture, with eminent success, for over a third of a
century; he has a most beautiful farm, under the best modern
improvements, and has erected on it one of the finest brick residences
in the township. His wife, Susan, died Jan. 4,1874; she was a
faithful member of the Christian Church of Pleasant Hill, and her
death was a loss to the whole community; she is buried in the
beautiful Pleasant Hill Cemetery; eight children were born, seven of
whom are still living, and six of whom are married; all are settled in
the community but one; their names are as follows: Henry H.,
Sarah J. (married to Dr. Kiester, of Arcanum), Isaac N., John C.,
Eunice E. (Longanecker), James M., Mary E. (Billows).
Mr. Hill's second marriage was celebrated Oct. 15, 1874 with Mrs.
Josephine Conway, formerly Miss
Josephine Banta, a native of
Preble Co., Ohio; she has one daughter, a teacher in the public school
of Pleasant Hill, and Mr. and Mrs. Hill are both members of the
Christian Church of Pleasant Hill, and Mr. Hill holds a deaconship in
the same; he is President of the Temperance Association of this place,
which bespeaks him an ardent supporter of the Temperance cause.
He is a member of A. F. & A. M. fraternity of Pleasant Hill.
