"Mother Hill" was one of the pioneer residents of this county, coming to Rogue river valley when the red man asserted his sway and disputed the encroachments of civilization. She died in the fullness of her years, respected by all. Mrs. Hill leaves three daughters (Mrs. J. H. Russell, Mrs. P. Dunn and Mrs. A. V. Gillette), all of whom are residents of Ashland precinct, and two sons, one living in this State - the other in California. Her estimable qualities of mind and heart had won for her a large circle of friends, by whom she is sincerely mourned. Another pure spirit has been wafted o'er the dark river; another household has been bereft; and the holy word of Him, who doeth all things well, has been exemplified: "The righteous shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven."
