Martha Maria Jones was the daughter of Orrin Jones and Fannie Stillman Burdick Jones. She had one sister, Carolyn.
Martha was born in Rapids, Niagara Co., New York, but soon after, they moved to Ashland, Dodge County, Minnesota, where her parents lived out their lives. It is presummed that they were members of the Dodge Center Seventh Day Baptist Church.
On May 31, 1873, Martha married George Wilber Hills, in Dodge Center, Dodge Co., Minn. They spent 10 years farming in Ashland, Dodge Co., Minn. Around 1882, George began taking course work at Alfred College (Alfred, New York) and continued into the Alfred School of Theology, graduating in 1887. He accepted a pastorate at Milton Junction, Wisconsin and was ordained there on June 29, 1890. They were there for 3 years. George then accepted a job with the Seventh Day Baptist Missionary Society, to work with churches in the "Southern field." They moved to Attalla, Etowah County, Alabama. Martha died there on June 29th, 1895.
(I, Jean Jorgensen, cannot find if she was bured in Alabama or if her body was placed in a cemetery near or in Dodge Center, Minnesota. Her parents are likely buried in Ashland or Dodge Center, Dodge County, Minnesota, but I am not finding them either).
