Lillian Nina Ellingson, the adopted daughter of Martin and Minnie (Jermstad) Ellingson, was born July 27, 1922, in Warren, ND. She grew up in the Perley, MN, area and attended school in Borup, MN.
In 1940, Lillian married Elmer William Hiller (31 Dec 1919-1 Feb 1995). They lived in Fargo, ND. Elmer was the son of William (Wilhelm) and Mary Hiller. Elmer had an older brother, Roy E. Hiller (3 Jan 1919-27 Oct 1998).
On November 23, 1951, Lillian married Merrill "Merle" Anderson whom she met while working as a cook on the Oliver Swenson farm, Perley. They lived in rural Perley, near the place, known for years, as the Wild Rice roller mill and dam. After Merrill's death in 1979 she moved to Halstad MN. In 1985, she moved to Moorhead to live, first at Sharpview Apartments, and later at Eventide Living Center and in May 2012 moved into the Eventide Lutheran Home.
