ALMERAN HILL

     Born in Chariton County, Missouri, in 1822; when he arrived in Oregon he
settled on what is now called "Spring Hill Farm," near Dilly; tow years later
took a donation claim near Gaston, Washington County, on which he still lives.
Mr. Hill has had the rough experience known only to the earliest pioneers of
Oregon, and can relate many instances regarding life among the Indians, and the
manners and customs of pioneer life, that are both startling and amusing.  He
married Sarah J. Reed in 1841, and their children's names are -- Deantha, Frank
M., Mrs. M. Campbell, Mrs. T. Mooney, Mrs. H. Cowles, Mrs. S. J. Brisbine, and
A. L. Hill.
