Interesting facts
g Apparently his father settled brieflyin Ohio when Thomas was a child before moving to Wisconsin.
g This is the Thomas Hill mentioned in the Caddie Woodlawn stories by Carol Ryrie Brink. "Caddie Woodlawn", the first book in the series, notes that Tom Hill, "one of the hired men" had gone to fight in the Civil War. The opening page of the short story "Magical Melons” has Tom Hill and Robert Ireton, "the hired men", milking cows as Caddie and her brothers watched; when Tom and Robert are done with the chores, they "made a dash for the kitchen to pass the time of day with Katie Conroy, the cook." In the story, Robert and Tom had hidden watermelons in the hay mow, but when they go to retrieve them as a treat for the Woodlawn children, most of the melons are gone as the kids had found and secretly ate them. Tom has only one line in the story (which he "drawled"): "So they was the culprits that meddled with our treat! Robert an' me were fair vexed that somebody had mad eoff with more than half of the melons we had hid so careful." Tom does not appear in other stories, but Robert and Katie make brief appareances. A woman in Eau Claire, who is a granddaughter of Chester Bignell and Ivy Hill, said that Thomas’ wife – Anna Place — once said of Woodlawn, "She wanted him, but I got him."
g Served in the Civil War during 1865 in Co H, 51st Wisconsin Infantry (his military service picture appears above). A timeline of his Civil War experiences include:
n March 28 - Volunteered and joined Co. B, 53th Regiment Infantry, given rank of private (lists home as “Pine Valley”; an alternate source says he enlisted March 20)
n June 19- His regiment is consolidated with 51st Wisconsin Infantry and company is renamed Co. H. He is listed as a "keeper" of Old Abe, an eagle he company took with it (a position he held from May 30-Aug. 18); he is mentioned in the book "Our Story," a history of Eau Claire, in the section about Old Abe). During next 10 days, he is sent with regiment from Eau Claire, Wis., aboard stemboat Stella Whipple to St. Louis and then Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He later names his granddaughter, Stella Bignell, after the steamboat. Another of his war-time duties was to be the flag bearer if the regular one were shot in battle.
n June 30 - Consolidation completed at Fort Leavenworth; regiment’s assignment is guard duty for construction of Pacific Railroad from Holden to Pleasant Hill, Mo.; regiment is stationed at Warrensburg, Mo.
n Aug. 5 - Regiment returns to Camp Randall, (Madison) Wis.
n Aug. 15 - Discharged from regiment at Camp Randall
n Aug. 29 - Mustereded out of Co. H
g Mentioned in the following columns: We can change our world — just ask Iowa’s veterans and Family, home resurrects quiet appreciation of life
g The photo above of him is from tin pate of his service during he Civil War; a copy of it exists at the Carson Park museum in Eau Claire.
g He suffered from lumbago and arthritis, which some of his descendants said was a result of sleeping on the ground during the Civil War. He also suffered a wound to the leg, which required that he walk with a cane for the rest of his life; he received a pension for the rest of his life for it.
g Thomas claimed to be of Irish descent, though "Hill" is an English surname
g Once when moving a house, it started to slide back on the movers. Thomas pushed himself forward, stuck up his thumbs and yelled "Let 'er come!"  He was small in stature. This same story was recorded by a family biographer for Robert Bignell, so it may be apocryphal.
g In April 1895, joined Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (note that this is not Mormonism)
g Obituary appears in Durand (Wis.) Courier Wedge during first week of February 1927
g His death certificate lists "George Hill" as his father's name with birthplace unknown

Died
Jan. 28, 1927, 11:45 p.m.  at his home on Maple Ridge, Pepin County, Wis.; cause of death is given as apoplexy on his death certificate; buried Feb. 1, 1927, in Round Hill Cemetery, Pepin County; church Elder S.E. Livingston gave the sermon at his funeral with P.W. Goodrich, Durand, Wis., the undertaker.

Poem by Nancy Place (Trombley)

This is a poem written by Nancy Place (Trombley), daughter of Levi Place and Polly Moorhouse (Place) ; she is Kieran’s great-great-great-aunt. In the poem, she refers to Hickory Kingdom, near Sabula, in Clearfield Co., Pa. It is where her grandfather Asa moved from Farmington Center, Tioga Co., Pa. (He is the “grandpa” mention later in the poem). The poem describes the event that caused Levi (with his brother Charles) to leave Pennsylvania. It was written sometime after 1910, and she describes the death of her second husband, Eli.

I've been visiting old Hickory
in the state of William Penn,
Where I was born and brought up
'till the year that I was ten.
Where my father and my mother lived
in their youthful days,
When all were wilds, and Deer, and Bear,
in those early Pioneer Days.

My Father was a hunter,
the fleetest among men,
He roamed those hills and valleys and
mountain tops and glens.
Many a bear and buck has fell 'for his
muzzle loading gun,
And flocks of them around him, would
hoist their tail and run.

No game warden disturbed his path,
He killed three Deer a day,
And wrapping their skins around him
For home he made his way,
Where all were anxious waiting, to see
their Father come.
And often after sunset we would hear
the echo of his gun.

The biscuits and the johnny-cake that
Mother used to bake,
'Round that old fashioned fire place,
it makes my heart to ache.
To think how good they tasted, and
what fun life did afford,
With thirteen of us gathered around
that family board.

The big pots of fat venison all roasted
down so neat.
With lots of gravy for our bread,
provided us with meat.
We all were fat and chubby, and as
healthy as could be,
And Father, he was proud of us, when
he held us on his knee.

He would sing the songs we loved to
hear, with chorus sweet and clear.
And early in the morning he would
go a hunting deer.
And Mother, she would knit and sew
and fix his leggins fine
To see her husband bound away toward
the waving pine

At length there came a dreadful blow,
that struck that dear old home;
It caused my Father's heart to grieve,
and caused his mind to roam,
My mother died and left us, and Father
thought it best
To go and take a homestead in
Wisconsin way out west.

So we moved to old Wisconsin in eighteen-
sixty-three
Where we all lived, as happy, as
could be.
That same old gun provided meat that
had in days of yore.
And helped to keep the wolf away,
from our little shanty door.

When we moved to old Wisconsin, I'll
Plainly let you know.
My husband's Father and five children
came west with us also.
They sleep in Round Hill graveyard
my husband's Father and mine.
They dream no more of running deer
in Pennsylvania pine.

I visited the graveyard, one bright and
shining day.
Where my mother, and my brother
and my husband's mother lay.
Likewise my dear old Grandpa and
Grandma lie there too.
They heeded not my coming or the
trampling of my shoe.

I visited the homestead where I first
drew my breath.
I drank out of its crystal spring, and
sat on its hallowed crest.
Thinking the past life over, the tears
came in my eyes.
To think of those who had passed
away, and of those broken ties.

My husband died in 1910, the 19th day
of March.
The wound is still aching, his death
left in my heart.
He played along those very banks when
he was just a boy.
His cheeks were red, his eyes were blue,
his heart was full of joy.

I visited the homestead where my
husband's Father dwelt.
In thinking of our playtimes, there
my heart did nearly melt.
My husband was a jolly boy, I used to
play with him.
I'll not forget our parting in the year of 1910.

The apple trees and peach trees that
grew upon that farm.
Are like the hands that raised them,
they are passed away and gone.
I'll not forget the aprons full of peaches
red and gay.
I used to carry home with me,
and hide them in the hay.

Things are not what they used to be, in
years of long ago.
When Father roamed those mountains,
and chased the buck and doe.
The pine is gone, the game not here
and all things look forlorn.
I'll take the train and I'll return to,
my old Wisconsin home.

- Mrs. Eli Place
