† "Martha KOFF" Post-ems: Posted By: AARON J. HILL (email) 2006-02-27 05:37:01. This record is not accurate. Instead of KOFF, it should be KOPF. I have visited the cemetery and, although it is spelled correctly on her gravestone, somehow it was mistranscribed. She is my great-great-great-great grandmoth-er and was first married to Henry HILL, who is buried next to her. After his death, she married Johannes 'John' KOPF, an emigrant from Germany. NOTE: Martha HILL KOPF was bur. in Peoria Cem. by the side of her first husband, Henry N. HILL.
