---Greenup Medley Hill, son of Thomas H. and Amma B. Hill, was born November 19, 1854 on a farm that his father entered in the '40's southwest, Knox County, Missouri. His father dying April, 1861 leaving mother and three children of us at the outbreak of the Civil War and as such she lived and raised us creditably and was one of the best mothers, always looking in the best interest and wishes of us children.
---G. M. Hill grew to manhood on the farm with his mother and two sisters. On December 23, 1875 was married to Sarah Ann Dixon. To this union three sons were born, Greenup Medley, Jr., of New Boston, Thomas H. of Youngstown and Edward Jay Pain, South Gifford, Missouri; after his marriage he lived with his mother for three years, then moving to Sullivan County, Missouri, living there one year, moved back to Knox County, leaving his wife with her mother and brother, then on the twenty-eight of March, 1880, set sail for the west, landing in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Black Hills were then in their bloom, wages being good, worked for wages till October, 1880 then took a contract to furnish a quartz mill 750 cords of wood at which I worked in good faith thinking I was making from $9.00 to $13.50 a day, then on the 26th of July, 1881, the mill shut down and the result was all the money that I had taken there and worked for was invested and the amount I received was $223.00. After paying my help I was obligated to for chopping, I was left with $60.00 in my pocket and owed $200.00 but fortunately I happened to be in hands that didn't crowd me. So we set up to farm and rented for two years in Knox County and on the 26th day of August, 1883, bought 160 acres of a farm in Drake Township, Macon County, moving with my family March 6, 1884. There I resided till January 28, 1926 when we rented our lands to the three boys and moved to La Plata, Missouri and died in La Plata, Missouri Tuesday morning January 7, 1936.
