Hill, C. J., was born August 4, 1819, in the town of Danby, and was educated in the district schools. At the
age of eighteen he was given the charge and care of the farm by his father, and when twenty four years of age he
married Hannah M. Atwell, of the town of Pharsalia, Chenango county, who died four years later. One child, a daughter,
Frances Josephine, was the fruit of this marriage, but died after reaching womanhood. At the age of thirty one
he married second Sarah D. Ireland, of Danby, and they have had six children, three sons and three daughters, three
of whom are living. The oldest son, Uri J. resides in Kansas City, Mo.; C. Elbert resides in Ithaca, and the daughter,
Hattie Louise, is at home., Mr. Hill is a Republican in politics, never having having missed an election since
twenty one years of age, and has always been interested in promoting all interests for the moral and religious
up building of the town in which he was born. He has been trustee of the M. E. church, and is recognized as a public
spirited man, and one of Danby's most substantial citizens. In 1860 he bought and improved the J. Miller farm,
where he now lives. Mr. Hill has made as many improvements as any citizen of Danbv, having been actively employed
from an early age up to the present.
