Author: History Grundy County 1882

Joseph D. Hill, farmer, P. O. Morris, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, 
August 26, 1822, but spent most of his boyhood in Delaware County. When twenty-
one years of age, he came to Illinois, and bought some land in Pike County. At 
this time, he also entered a tract of land in Mazon Township, Grundy County. 
After returning to Ohio and remaining there about seven years, Mr. Hill, 
September 24, 1854, married Mrs. Margaretta Nicholas, born September 29, 1827, 
when he moved to his land in Mazon Township, which land he sold in 1865, and 
moved into Wauponsee Township, where he now owns 280 acres of improved land, 
in Sections 21 and 22, situated four miles southeast of Morris. This land is 
valued at $65 an acre, and produces fine crops of corn, oats and hay. Mr. and 
Mrs. Hill have but one child - Homer D. Hill, born in Adams County, Ind., June 
5, 1856, who was married, January 7, 1880, to Miss Flora Case, born March 24, 
1856, daughter of Morris and Caroline Case, of Delaware County, Ohio. Our 
subject is one of the stalwarts of Grundy County. He enlisted a company of men 
for the ranks, in the early part of the rebellion, but, owing to physical 
disability, was obliged to place them in charge of Capt. Fosha. Mr. Hill and 
his son are both Republicans.
