graduated with honors. She taught
schools in different towns until her mar
liage to Alexander +. Hill July l5 1862.
The service was soemnized by the bed
side of her invalid mother whose death
took place a few weeks afterward. The
first nine years of Mr.. and Mrs Hills
married life were spent in Toms River,
n. j. They moved from there to this
village 80 years ago and have won the
love and respect Of the community. Mrs.
Hill was woman of unusual ability and
cheerful disposition, a devoted wife and
mother and sympathetic friend. She was
member of the Woman's Relief corps
in which she has always been an active
worker. The numerous and beautiful

testimonials to the love and respect in
which she was held. On March 3 Mrs.
Hill was stricken with apoplexy and
never fully recovered from the effects, al
though she grew so much more comfort
ternoon with her son-in-law, Charles d.

cent illness, was awakened by an unus-
uaily heavy breathing and Immediately
called to her father They Immediately
summoned physician but she had passed
away before he arrived at 2.45, apoplexy
and heart failure being the cause of her
death. She is survived by her husband
and two daughters, Miss Margaret Helen
Hin, who is under treatment at the Mil
Ter sanatorium in East Bridgewater,
d. Pettee of Boston, also one brother,
Eugene Richardson, whose home is in
the west. Three sons died in infancy.
Miss Hill was unable to come to her
mothers funeral although the last four
weeks has shown marked improvement
