  Born	18 Nov 1854	Greenfield, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin   [1, 2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Died	24 Mar 1934	Pasadena, Harris County, Texas   [3]
  Notes	Art Peck writes that Mary was the oldest in a large poor family, and early on went to work for others. She married Henry Hills when she was just 18, and didn't learn until years later that he was nineteen years older than she. He was a house painter when they met in Cass City. Due to Henry's poor health, they moved to the warmer climate of Texas. They moved about, and in 1902, they settled on a farm in Poinsett County, Arkansas. Henry died here, and Mary lived with various children throughout her remaining years. Her final years were spent with daughter Belle in Pasadena, Texas.
