Welcome to The W. C. HILL FAMILY Blogspot. This branch of the Hill family was established May 12, 1901 near Sylvester in Jones County, Texas when Frances Myrtle “Frankie” Coggin wed William Claborn “Willie” Hill. Between 1902 and 1919, seven children were born to the couple: Andrew Darwin Hill, William Wallace "Red" Hill, Orvel Francis Hill, Alton Jackson "A. J." Hill, Elsie Lou Hill Smith (my maternal grandmother), Jewell Faye Hill Winter, and Alfred Lavell "Fritz" Hill.

Opal, Lee & Audra
Opal (A. J.'s wife), Lee (Elsie's husband) and Audra (Red's wife)
Another photo new to me. Two things I see here in my dad, beyond his youthfulness. He probably has cigarette packages in both shirt pockets. He and Elsie Lou both smoked. Lee quit cigarettes long before she did (finally, at age 73.) Also, you can see his pocket watch fob hanging out of pocket watch pocket that was standard for men's trousers of the time (now called change pockets--but who carries change anymore?) And when was the last time you saw a man pull out his pocket watch?
