Chickasaw Enterprise, Thursday, Sept 12, 1901
Mrs. John T. Hall
It is with sadness we have to chronicle the death, at their beautiful
home in this city, of Mrs. Susie Hill, wife of John T. Hill.  She has 
been sick for several weeks of rheumatism and fever.  On Tuesday, Sept.
10, her system seemed to collapse and at 11 p.m. she peacefully passed
away.
Funeral services were held at the house by Rev. McRuer, assisted by Rev.
Hunkapillar, and a very large procession, numbering over sisty vehicles,
followed the remains to the new cemetery, where they were tenderly laid
away on Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Hill was formerly Miss Susie Walner.  
She was born at Old Rock Springs,
in the Choctaw Nation, in October 1862. 
She came with her father, Dr. Walner, 
a merchant, to Old Cherokee Town, 
about 20 years ago and was married Nov. 4, 
1885.

They have resided in or 
near Pauls Valley since and 5 years ago moved into one
of the most elegant 
homes in the nation, in Pauls Valley.

Mrs. Hill has been a member of the 
Presbyterian church for thirteen years and 
led an examplary christian life, 
beloved of all who knew her.  One brother,
J.H. Walner, of Wynnewood survives.  
Mrs. Dr. Branum and Miss Welch were her
nieces.

Four boys and two girls, the 
oldest 15 and the youngest one year, are left to
the safe care of a loving father, 
but without the guiding hand and influence 
of a mother.
