HILL, C. M. — On a plantation in Franklin County, Ala., C. M. Hill was born March 1, 1831. His destiny as an upbuilder of Fulton County, Ill., was early foreshadowed, for his parents, William and Sarah (Cotton) Hill, were even then contemplating removal from the sweltering Alabama summers to the more bracing and promising climate of a Northern State. Preparation for their departure was long drawn out, but the family set out with wagon and oxen in the spring of 1834, camping by the wayside at night, and for three months were at the mercy of the changeable elements. Arriving in Fulton County, Ill., they located on Section 27, Farmington Township, where the elder Hill reared his cabin of logs, cleared his land, and was gaining the competence which he sought when over taken by death in 1846. He suffered the trials and discouragements which were the lot of the pioneer, and, having no nearer market, hauled his grain and general produce to Copperas Creek, Liverpool and Peoria. To himself and wife were born seven children, all of whom were scattered to homes and occupations of their own when the mother died in 1875.

C. M. Hill gained a rudimentary education in a house built of logs, fourteen feet square. When his mother died in 1875 he moved to his present farm on Section 27, Farmington Township, where he built a frame house in 1876, and where he owns 160 acres of land. Practically all of the improvements are of is making, and the property is one of the most valuable in the township. Attention to business and good judgment enabled Mr. Hill to retire from active farm life in 1898, but he still makes his home on the old homestead with tenants having charge of the farm. Mr. Hill is a Republican in politics, and although averse to office-holding, has served several years as a member of the Board of Education. From early manhood he was a member of the Reformed Church at Norris until it was disbanded, since then never having united with any other denomination.

At Farmington, Ill., in 1856, Mr. Hill was united in marriage to Mary A. Hulick, a native of Farmington Township, and a daughter of Isaac and Ruth A. (Mills) Hulick, natives of Kentucky, and early settlers of Illinois. To Mr. and Mrs. Hill have been born twelve children — six boys and six girls — all of whom are living, namely: Francis M., Edward L., Alva W., Charles R., Robert W., and Clinton C. (boys), and Louisa Alice, Clara Eldora, Almira Emogene, Mary Elizabeth, Sarah Ellen and Dessa Ann (girls). The mother was called away by death on June 10, 1898. All the children were present at her obsequies.
