Interesting facts
g Anna’s husband is the Thomas Hill mentioned in Caddie Woodlawn’s story "Magical Melons.” 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." I believe the story mentions him going off to fight in the Civil War for her father.
