#7:NOTES:
a. Emma's father, Dan Story, is buried in Wisconsin.
b. Emma's mother, Susan Rose Hill, was born Dec. 1829 in New York. Susan Story died in 1867 is buried in the Osage cemetery.
c. Emma's husband was Horatio N. P. Hill, Jr.
The 1900 U.S. Census says he was born in November 1846 in Massachusetts. Osage Cemetery records say "HORATIO N.P. Hill Jr." died "16 FEB 1911."d. His father "Horatio N. P. Hill" is listed in Osage Cemetery records as died "March 5, 1912".
e. In 1910 Horatio Senior was living with his son-in-law Albert E. Roberts and wife Hattie (Hill) Roberts in Osage. He is shown as being born about 1824 in New Hampshire, and a widow.
f. From this info and the obituary (#1) my best guess, since Emma Hill died on her birthday, is that she was born October 10, 1848, in Wisconsin, and died October 10, 1940.
