Stella or Heavy as her Father had nicknamed her, was the fourth child and third daughter of Odus (Windy) Grant Hill and Flora Ann Brooks. Stella was born June 01, 1903, on a farm south of Nickerson, Kansas. On June 12, 1921, at the age of eighteen she was married to Clifford Edwin Thompson at Partridge, Kansas. Clifford and Stella were neighbors living northwest of Partridge. After their marriage they lived on the Thompson farm northwest of Partridge. Clifford served in the U.S. Army Infantry during World War I. Francis Thompson Boom, the youngest daughter of Stella and Clifford has compiled an interesting book of the letters Clifford wrote to his parents and to Stella while in the sevice.
Clifford and Stella lived on the Thompson farm inherited from Clifford's father until 1943. All seven of their children were born on this farm. Upon leaving the farm they purchased a home at 217 East F Street in Hutchinson, Kansas, where they lived the remainder of their lives. After moving to Hutchinson Clifford worked on the building of the new Navy Base south of Hutchinson. When this job was completed he took work at Dillon's Grocery Warehouse until his retirement. Stella was a homemaker. Stella died of cancer July 6, 1972 in the old Grace Hospital on Main Street in Hutchinson, Kansas. Clifford died of a heart condition in his home on March 18, 1973. Stella and Clifford are both buried in Memorial Park Cemetery west of Hutchinson, Kansas. They were the parents of seven children, six girls and one boy.
