Oral Edgar Hill was born the 13th of September 1904 on his father's farm in Franklin County, near Valier.  The farm was about one mile north of Zeigler, where the new Zelgler High School now stands.  Hazel was born 17 June 1905 near Findlay, in Okaw Township, Shelby Co., IL. ; In 1917 her parents removed to Southern Illinois, Marion, Williamson Co.

It was here that they were fated to meet.  Oral met his future wife, Hazel, when they were about 12 years of age, at the Ferris Wheel at the annual Williamson County Fair in Marion.  They were both standing watching the wheel come and go; neither had money to go on a ride.  The attendant noticed the two children watching, but not riding on the wheel.  When the customers had slackened, he allowed them to ride together on the Ferris Wheel until he got more customers.  They would stand and watch and every time the trade slacked, he would allow them to ride once again.  They rode on and off all day long. ; Oral must have been very fond of Hazel, for at the ages of about 14 years he presented her with a box of candy, but they didn't start dating until they were sixteen.

Oral would meet Hazel after church on week nights, and on Sundays; he would walk her home.  Hazel's father, Joseph Andrew "Joe" Jordan, did not like this very well, so he would have Hazel's two younger brothers accompany them carrying lanterns.  Oral was a great tease; he would lead them through what they called Chinatown and would find ways to frighten them.

Hazel's family was very poor.  Her father's health was not good; he worked on the railroad off and on for many years.  Some years Hazel was unable to go to school because they couldn't afford to buy her shoes.  She still managed to keep returning to school until she got her grade school diploma.  She was a good scholar.

Hazel loved housework, she was always moving furniture whether it was a small piece or stoves and refrigerators. ; Her father never knew when he went to bed, where the bed was located in the bedroom.  She would hear him shout, "Dochia, on which side of the room is the bed tonight."

Oral came from a fairly wealthy family. His father, Sam bought a Livery Stable and later a Flour Mill.  Sam, with his brother, Joe, engaged in the milling business on West Main Street in Marion until about 1917, as well as in farming.  About 1917, Sam bought his first coal mine.  He, also, owned stock in several other coal mines. ; He owned a dealership in the newspaper business and about 1922 bought another mine in Spillertown.  Joe owned a food market and soda water bottling franchise.

Oral must have been thinking about marriage, for about 1924, Oral went to Detroit to get work.  He succeeded in getting a job, but he was so home sick, he came back to Southern Illinois.  He didn't stay very long.  Shortly thereafter he went to St. Louis, MO and found work. ; He sent for Hazel and rushed her from the train (she always complained that she had been so dirty and tired), and Oral and Hazel, with two of their friends went across the Mississippi River to East St. Louis, St. Clair Co., IL. ; Oral was headed for Waterloo, IL; he wanted to be able to say that when he and Hazel married, he met his Waterloo.  Oral was too anxious and didn't make it to Waterloo;  they were married in East St. Louis on the 19th June 1925.  For many, many years Hazel thought they had married in Waterloo.  Oral was always teasing her about it.  She acted as if she was so furious  when she found that it had not been true and he was just teasing her all those years.

Oral and Hazel lived for most of their married life in St. Louis, Missouri.  Oral was a Traffic Manager for almost thirty years at J. C. Penney Company from before the time they opened for business until the warehouse closed.  After their children were grown, Hazel went to work for J. C. Penney, in the warehouse.

Hazel's father, mother, and siblings who were still living in  Marion, IL, returned to Findlay, Shelby Co., IL where they bought 4 acres of land upon which to live.

In the late 1930's, having suffered severe financial losses in the Great Depression, Sam and Nancy moved back to Freeburg where he operated, until his death, a coal mine that was located on the old family farm.  Sam also owned The Hill Coal Company in St. Louis, Missouri until the smoke ordinances drove them out of business, and forced the abandonment of the mine.  Their son, Oral Edgar Hill, had helped establish the business, as he was living in St. Louis at the time.

The 1930's were a terrible time for so many.  Oral and Hazel were Blessed by God, for Oral had a wonderful job which he loved.  In the late 1920s, he went to work at J. C. Penney Company.  It is interesting how he came to work for them.  Mr. J. C. Penney was visiting in St. Louis.  He was involved in building a new warehouse.  One night, to relax, he went to a baseball game.  Oral was a great ball player and before the night was over, he received a job offer from Mr. Penney.  He was so impressed by Oral that he hired him, even though the building was not completed as yet.  He intended to have a ball team and he wanted it to be the best!  Oral sat every day and watched until they finished building the warehouse.  Oral always had the greatest respect for Mr. Penney and thought him a fine man.  After they closed the warehouse, Oral worked for a couple of Trucking Firms as an "Over and Short" Manager.

There were many hoboes wandering about the country during the great depression.  They would arrive at the back door, and Oral and Hazel would feed them.  Those who were very dirty, they fed on the back porch, but those who had cleaned themselves up, and most did in those days, Oral and Hazel would seat at their dinner table.  Many were College educated.  Oral enjoyed talking with them.  There was one who passed through St. Louis every year and he would stop at the Hill house.  Oral was always very happy to see him.  He taught Oral many card tricks, with which Oral would use to entertain the children.

Oral, and Hazel's father, Joe, were great ones for chasing fire engines.  After Dochia died Joe Jordan and Hazel's brother, Claude, would spend most Christmas' with them.  One year the family had sat down at the dinner table for the Christmas feast, when sirens were heard.  All of the family took off chasing the fire engine except Claude, he continued to eat.  Oh, how he loved his food!  When they arrived back home it was to find that Claude had eaten all the slaw, which was his favorite, he only got it once a year, at Christmas time.

Chasing fire engines finally came to a halt!  Oral, Hazel and family were on their way home to St. Louis from Freeburg, St. Clair Co., IL, and as they approached Belleville they heard sirens and people were parking their cars and running.  Hazel and the children stayed in the car while Oral went to see the fire.  It wasn't a fire.  It was a terrible railroad accident.  An elderly couple who had been walking on the railroad tracks obviously didn't hear the train that was coming until the last minute.  The husband tried to save his wife by picking her up to jump off the tracks when they were struck by the train.  When Oral returned to the automobile he was so sick at his stomach, it was sometime before he could enter the car.  He never chased a fire engine again.

In the 1930's and 1940's there was radio and how the family loved it.  They would sit and listen to some of the greatest comedians, singers, great actors and actresses, and music, music, music.  They had the pick of all the greatest music in the world, besides the poplar music of the times and wonderful, Country Western music.  Oh, the Saturday nights when the children lay in bed listening to the the "Old Fashioned Barn Dance, " (it was on from 11pm to 12am) with Skeets Yaney and Frankie Yankovich. ; When they went to school, they started the day out with Skeets and Frankie early every morning, with their breakfast.  In the evenings the greatest comedians in the world enliven their life.  Comedians like Jack Benny, with Dennis Day's beautiful Irish Tenor voice singing the old Irish songs besides the poplar music.  There was Red Skelton, Fibber McGee and Molly, and who could listen to Kate Smith's singing without wanting to join with her in song.  Oh, there were so many of the great artists and great actors of their day.  Hazel would prepare a large dishpan full of buttered popcorn, and Oral, and the children would dip their bowls in and eat until they could eat no more.  It was so good.  And there was Texaco's Metropolitan Opera Company on Saturday afternoons during the winter months.

Oral and Hazel never had trouble getting the children to bed.  When the late news came on, the children would sit around watching Oral, for he was very sneaky.  While he listened, slowly, ever so slowly, the toe of one shoe would go to the back of the other shoe and ease it off.  This was the signal the children waited for.  By the time the other shoe dropped to the floor , everyone was racing for their bedrooms while Oral yelled "the last one in's the cow's tail."  It worked every time.  One night Oral and Hazel jumped on the bed at the same time and it came crashing down.  Everyone ran to see if they were hurt, but they were laughing, each claiming they had hit the bed first.  How the children laughed.

It was not always happy times.  They rememberd the news broadcasts.  Chamberlin's "I bring you peace in our times;" Oral exclaimed that there was going to be a terrible war.  World War II was to start shortly.  One Sunday, 7 December 1941, the children were at the neighborhood theater when the lights came up in the middle of the movie and the movie was stopped while an important announcement was made; Pearl Harbor had just been attacked. ; What did this mean?  Where was Pearl Harbor?  The children didn't know but they knew, from the reaction of the adults, that it must be very bad.  The adults slowly left the theater and only the children remained. ; Many of the young men, as well as many older men, made their way to the recruiting offices to volunteer for service to their country.  Oral lost a dear nephew and the children a much loved cousin in this terrible war.  William Alexander Hill was that dear nephew and cousin. ; Catherine remembered his long, long legs and his quiet thoughtful appearance.  When just a child, Bill, walked Catherine over to the homecoming grounds in Freeburg; he was so tall and his legs so long, Catherine had to run to keep up with him.  It was two or three steps to his one.

Bill came to visit them before he went overseas.  As he was leaving, he did something that was very unusual for him.  He came into the kitchen where Marilyn, and Catherine were doing the dishes while Richard watched, and he kissed each of them goodbye.  As he left the kitchen he stopped, turned, and took one long, last look at them. Richard and Catherine never forgot the expression on his face.  Bill was a Sergeant in the Army Air Force and was shot down in World War II over Rennes, France on 09 July 1944, crashing in Montgermont.  Bill's brother, Bob Hill, after the war, when to France seeking Bill's remains.  He found Bill buried at Montgermont, near Rennes, France, he had Bill's remains brought back home to Marion, IL where he was buried with honors in the Maplewood Cemetery in Marion, Williamson Co., IL.

Oral loved politics.  He and Hazel felt that when there were important decisions to be made involving all the family, that everyone should have an opportunity to express their opinions.  A meeting would be called at the kitchen table and they would sit around and discuss each problem and then Oral would make a decision and call for a vote.  Of course it was always unanimous.

Hazel had an adventurous soul, as also did Oral.  She took her first plane trip in the 1960's and loved flying.  After a man was landed on the moon, they were taking reservations for the first shuttle trip to the moon. ; It became a topic of conversation in the family.  Hazel was the only one who had a desire to visit the moon.

Hazel, although in her seventies, climbed on the back of her grandson, Steven's motorcycle, behind Steve's father, Russell, and they drove off.  They were gone a long time and the grandchildren were standing around getting very anxious for their grandmother's safety.  Marilyn, Catherine and Richard stood laughing.  The boys couldn't understand why they were not worried.  Hazel's children knew their mother was having a wonderful time, and sure enough, they were finally heard coming from a distance, Russell laughing, and Hazel shouting in joy.  She said she had never enjoyed anything so much in all her life. She had never outgrown being a tomboy, after all, she did have 3 brothers!

Oral and Hazel loved to play cards together.  Oral could be heard crowing when he was winning, and he always got up when he was losing and walked around his chair two or three times.  Hazel would get so mad.  Years later, when they were up in age, Hazel got arthritis so bad that she was fast becoming an invalid and could hardly get out of bed.  Oral got her up and made her sit and play cards with him and before long she was fighting with him and her pain was forgotten.  Soon Hazel was well once again.

In 1964, Oral and Hazel, their son, Richard, and daughter, Catherine, bought a home in La Puente, Los Angeles Co., CA.  The smog was bad and Oral and Hazel's health deteriorated and they decided to moved back to the midwest. ; In 1971 they bought a home in Johnston City, Williamson Co., IL, about six miles north of Marion, IL, where they lived until their deaths.  Catherine and Richard moved to Johnston City in June of 1972 to care for their parents.
