Biography

This profile is part of the Hill Name Study.

Mildred,^[1] daughter of James Hill and Katherine Allen, was born in 6 April 1896^[2] in Homestead, Pennsylvania. By 1900, the family was living in Homestead outside Pittsburgh, where her father was a tailor.^[2] The household included her parents James W. Hill (age 38) and Katie B. (28); Mildred A. (4); her siblings Dorothy A. (7) and Lloyd J. (1); her maternal grandmother Ann H Allen (68); a servant and two lodgers.^[2]

During the next ten years the family had moved across the Monongahela River to Swissvale.^[3] The household had grown to encompass James W. (47, merchant tailor), Kate B. (37), Mildred (14), Dorothy (16), Lloyd (11), Kenneth (7), Roscoe (5) and Richard (2).^[3]

Her father James died 11 February 1920,^[4] leaving her mother Catherine (age 48) as head of the household in Chartiers, Allegheny County, consisting of Dorthey A.
