Cora Elizabeth Stewart

MARRIED.
HILL-STEWART--AT the residence of the bride's parents in Eden precinct, Jan. 17th, by Rev. Wm. Stewart, D. R. Hill and Miss Cora E. Stewart.
Democratic Times, Jacksonville, [Oregon] January 20, 1888, page 3

Rev. William Stewart was the uncle of Cora Elizabeth Stewart, and brother to Joseph Howard Stewart, her father.
See Find a Grave for profile.

*****************
Mrs. Hill likes to recall that her father sent out the first carload of Ben Davis apples that ever left the valley. Their destination was Germany, she says. Bartletts, 'Anjous and Howells were the principal varieties, with the Bartlett considered the best commercial pear.

The Dillon Hill home is a quaint and charming place, by the way. Marble-topped tables, capacious fireplaces, old-fashioned rocking chairs and a Steinway parlor grand piano, rosewood cased, combine to give an air of old-time repose and comfort. The house was built in 1905, a year before Joseph Stewart died. The lumber was hauled from a mill near Prospect by mule team. But all this does not concern orchards, nor growers.

*******************

A REAL ESTATE deal of magnitudinal proportions was made on Tuesday of this week, wherein Hon. J. H. Stewart, president of the Bank of Medford, acquires the Fordyce farm of 160 acres, located just southwest of Medford. The consideration was $10,000, for which amount Mr. Stewart presented his check upon the signing of the transfer papers.

THE PROPERTY is well adapted to fruit raising, for which purpose the purchase was made. Seventy acres of the land will be planted to Bartlett pears, and during the next two years thirty acres of the celebrated Newtown pippin apples will be set out.

HIS SON-IN-LAW, DILLON HILL, [spouse of Cora Stewart Hill] will have charge of the property, and will move his family thereto as soon as convenient.

MR. STEWART has made a flattering success in fruit raising since he has resided in this county, and it is largely due to his efforts and encouragement that the fruit industry in the Rogue River Valley has gained the enviable position it has.

THAT he will repeat the success he attained in that business in former years can scarcely be doubted, and since each success achieved in this, one of our greatest industries, attracts favorable attention to our fertile little valley it is of more than passing interest to know that a gentleman of such keen business attainments has decided to again interest himself in this line of husbandry.

***************************
Rev. Wm. Stewart of Quincy, Ills., brother of Hon. J. H. Stewart, who has been paying this valley quite a visit, started on his return home a few days since. We hope he has become sufficiently attached to this valley to permanently locate here in the near future.
Mr. and Mrs. Dillon Hill, who were united in matrimony on the 17th inst., have already commenced housekeeping at the new residence recently built on Hon. J. H. Stewart's farm near this place. They begin married life under auspicious circumstances, and they have the congratulations and best wishes of a host of friends.

Dillon Hill and family accompanied Hon. Jos. Stewart and wife to the coast, near Crescent City, and will remain there until late September.
