History of the Western Reserve, Harriet Taylor Upton Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1910, p. 997, 998 Transcribed by Susan Kimes Burgess November 11, 2006 "CLINTON W. HILLS. - This venerable and honored citizen of Painesville, where he is now living retired, has had an eventful career and one that has stood representative of consecutive industry and earnest purpose. His experiences in a business way have been varied, but he has had the ability and good fortune to so direct his efforts as to make ample provision for his declining years, which he is passing in peace and prosperity. Mr. Hills is a native of Vernon Center, Oneida county, New York, where he was born on the 1st of September, 1829. He is a son of Manley Miles Hills, and the latter was a son of Jesse Hills, who was prevailed upon to come to Ohio with the Mormons and who led the singing in the old temple of this organization in the village of Kirtland. Jesse Hills was in turn a son of Seth, who was a son of Benoni. The last mentioned was a son of Joseph, whose father, William Hills, the original American progenitor, came from Durham, England, and settled in Boston in 1632. Clinton W. Hills passed the first eleven years of his life on the farm of his father, who was also a cooper by trade and vocation, and thereafter he was "bound out" to a man named Tryon, with whom he remained until he had attained to the age of twenty-one years, when he was given $100 as full compensation for his services during the interval of ten years. His early educational advantages were most meager, but through self-discipline and the experiences gained in connection with the practical affairs of life he has become a man of broad and accurate information. With the $100 which he had received he engaged in the poultry business with a partner, and the latter finally accumulated all the cash and left to him the experience, as is often the case. Under these conditions he secured work on a farm at eleven dollars a month, and within a year he had saved another $100, having lost but two days during the entire year. Realizing his need of better educational training along practical lines, he then went to Buffalo, New York, where he entered the Bryant & Stratton Business College, in which he completed a course of study, in the meanwhile paying his way by sweeping floors and doing such other work as came to hand. After leaving this school he found his cash exhausted, and under these conditions he secured from a dealer in New York a stock of steel pens, lead pencils, etc., which he sold to the trade. He worked day and night and finally gained sufficient experience to make him successful. He traveled in fully twenty different states, selling goods of this description, and in the meanwhile carefully conserved his resources, so that at the end of five years he had about $6,000. He purchased seventy acres of land in Willoughby township, Lake county, Ohio, having come hither to visit Mr. Tryon, with whom he had lived as a boy and who had located on a farm in Willoughby township, and he assumed possession in 1863. On December 31 of that year, in the city of Cleveland, Mr. Hills married Miss Emeline Horton, who was born in Rochester, New York, and who had come to Ohio to live with an uncle. The young couple settled on their farm in Willoughby township, where they remained five years. Mr. Hills then sold the property and joined his wife's uncle, Austin Fulter, in Kansas, where he engaged in the raising of cattle. He purchased a tract of land near Burlingame, Orange county, where he erected a house and made other improvements, but the Kansas winds proved so disagreeable that he sold the property and went to Winchester valley, Virginia, where he bought a farm of 140 acres, upon which he passed two years. As there were no public schools in the locality, he sold this property and returned to Lake county, Ohio, in order to give his children needed educational advantages. He here bought twenty-six acres in Willoughby township, one-half mile distant from his old farm, but as he liked the climate of the middle south he finally sold out and removed to Tennessee, locating near the village of Newmarket. There he passed two years under most pleasing environment, but he then returned to Lake county and bought a farm of thirty acres in Willoughby township. He again sold out and returned to the south, but finally came back to the same township and bought thirty acres lying adjacent to the first farm he had owned in Willoughby township. During the various removals and changes he had practically "held his own," but had not greatly increased his capital from that with which he started in Lake county. On the last mentioned farm, however, he continued to reside from 1875 until 1903, when he sold the property and removed to Painesville, where he has since lived virtually retired. He made the best of improvements on his farm, which he devoted largely to the growing of fruits, in which line he made a specialty of peaches and grapes. He sold from the farm in one year 4,000 half-bushel baskets of these products, and his success is well indicated by this statement. He became an authority on fruit-growing in this section, and the attractive little homestead of which he was so long the owner is recognized as one of the best in the county. Mr. Hills took a deep interest in all that concerned the welfare and prosperity of his section of the county and held various local offices. His political support is given to the Republican party and he and his wife hold membership in the Church of Christ. They have one son and one daughter - Edwin M., who is proprietor of a livery and boarding stable in the city of Cleveland, and Jennie, who is the wife of Homer P. Cumings, of Painesville, individually mentioned on other pages of this work. Mr. Hills is well preserved in physical and mental powers and in appearance gives slight indication of the four-score years that rest upon him."
