She was the daughter of Rev. George and Mrs. Hannah Hillman. When a little girl, (in 1872), she came with her parents to Greeley County, Nebraska. The family was one of the first to settle in the North Loup Valley. Her father was the pioneer Methodist minister in this part of Nebraska. The first Sunday School in the Loup Valley was organized at the Hillman home in Lamartine. Mr. Hillman also helped organize Greeley County, and was chosen the first Judge of this county.
On January 1st, 1884, Cela Ann Hillman was married to Austin Nurton. To this union two children were born. Earnest G., of Sheridan Lake, Colorado and Mrs. Grace Woodford, who so lovingly and devotedly cared for her mother through the long months of suffering preceding her death.
She leaves besides her husband and children to mourn her going, her grand-daughter, Roberta Woodford, two brothers, Rev. Morris Hillman of Stultgard, Ark., and Olliver Hillman of Hoonah, Alaska, and three sisters, Mrs. Jennie Blauvelt of Thedford, Nebr., Mrs. Sarah Rector and Mrs. Mary Clark of Washington, and many other relatives.
Mrs. Nurton was dearly loved by many friends, and those who knew her best, loved her most. All her life Mrs. Nurton was a true and earnest Christian. She united with the M. E. Church when but a little girl, and it is a comfort today to those who loved her, to know that she has passed into a better life, where there is no pain nor parting. The loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend is at rest.
The funeral was held at the Lamartine church on Thursday, conducted by her pastor, Rev. E. V. Price, and she was laid to rest beside her parents in the Mount Hope Cemetery.
