Lillian Marie Hill was born on December 25, 1874, in the town of Montfort, Wisconsin. She was the third daughter and the third child born to John and Mary Ann Hill. Eventually there were six girls born into this family.
On March 17, 1906, Lillian married Herbert L. Washburn, and they settled in to live and work on a farm just north of Livingston. Herbert had also been born in 1874, the son of parents I.S.E. and Rachel who had come from the New York and Pennsylvania area.
The photo on the right, probably taken around the turn of the century, shows all six of the Hill sisters—Lillian is in the back row at the left.

The marriage of Lillian Marie Hill and Herbert Washburn would produce three children—Lucille, Margaret, and Ivan Maxwell (Max). The years after the turn of the century were somewhat turbulent for the country with social reforms occurring at home and the clouds of war forming in Europe. The three Washburn children were born between the years 1906 and 1911—Lucille (December 25,1906), Margaret (September 13, 1909), and Max (January 27, 1911).

One of the grandchildren shown in the photo is Nancy Washburn, one of the people who has worked hard to continue the Livingston-Watson reunion tradition. She and her sister Jane gathered all of the photos that have been used in these Hill family web pages.
