SARAH A. HILLS

Mrs. Sarah Ann Hills, aged 94, passed away at the home of her son Elmer E. Hills, 21 Stratford avenue, Monday.

Mrs. Hills was born at Verysberg, N. Y. When she was six years of age she traveled by boat across the Great Lakes from Buffalo, New York to Milwaukee with her parents. There they secured an ox team and journeyed across Wisconsin to the western part of the state, where her father, Jepha Davis, founded the town of Attic, and established a woolen mill. THere the family lived many years.

Mrs. Hills married in 1861 and lived for a time in the frontier towns of Wisconsin. Later she lived for many years in Chicago and other Illinois cities. She came to California twelve years ago with her son when he moved his family here. She was a member of Calvary Presbyterian Church.

While Mrs. Hills suffered a stroke seven years ago, which made her an invalid, she never lost interest in life and up until her final illness two weeks ago, was an enthusiastic reader of current magazines.

After private funeral services at the chapel of Reynolds and Eberle, 825 East Orange Grove, Pasadena, the body was shipped to Evansville, Wisconsin, where her husband was buried.
