Daughter of the late Robert Taylor…
Early in life, she was united in marriage to James M. Kelly, eldest son of M. Kelly, of White twp., to whom she bore three children. At the breaking out of the Mexican war her husband patriotically joined his country's army, and in Mexico fell a victim to its malarial fevers. Thus when scarcely entered upon middle life she was left a widow with three children to support by her own exertions. Not daunted by her great tribulation and the burden thus cast upon her she set about her life work with faith in her ability to cope with the world and relying firmly upon the power of Him in whom she had early put her trust.
Some years after the loss of her first husband, she united in marriage with James W. Hill, of this place, and lived with him for a number of years, until the time of his death. Shortly after his decease she made her home with her youngest daughter, Virginia, the wife of our townsman, James M. Stewart.
