Marie Hills Davis, daughter of Elder and Mrs. George W. Hills, was born Oct. 28, 1898, in Nortonville, Kan., and died April 9, 1955, at Los Angeles, Calif.
Her childhood was spent in Nortonville, Kan., and Salem, W. Va., where her father was pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist churches. When he became pastor of the Los Angeles Church in 1913 she transferred her membership to that church. Her life was spent in helping others. As a teacher of home economics at Belvedere Junior High School, where she taught for 26 years, her particular joy was to work with problem youth.
