Charles W. and Lucretia (Hoyt) Hill

Hewson Peeke wrote about Charles W. Hill in his book A Standard History of Erie County, Ohio (Lewis Pub. Co., 1916), which was included in a sketch about Leonard Hill:

Charles W. Hill was born on the Huron County farm and was brought up to farming, in which he was engaged in Huron County at the time of the outbreak between  the North and the South. In 1861 he enlisted as a private in an Ohio regiment of volunteers, and fought bravely as a soldier until the close of the Civil war, when he received his honorable discharge. Shortly afterward, Mr. Hill, having heard of the opportunities offered the  ambitious in Erie County, came to this locality and after looking the  ground over finally settled on the farm which is now occupied by his son, Leonard C. Perkins Township continued to be his home until the  close of his life, which occurred in 1906. He was a man of thrift, honesty and industry, having probably inherited these characteristics  from Scotch ancestors, and was favorably known in his community as a good and reliable citizen. He married Miss Lucretia Hoyt, a native of Perkins Township, and of their children four now survive: Oscar G., who is a resident of Huron, Ohio; Leonard C, of this review; Hattie L., who is the wife of Jesse Green, a farmer of Perkins Township; and Vernon W., whose home is at Sandusky.

On November 12, 1869, Charles W. Hill married Lucretia Hoyt in Erie County, Ohio. He was a well respected farmer in Perkins Township. Charles W. Hill died on February 2, 1906. His wife, the former Lucretia F. Hoyt, died on April 15, 1890. The final resting place of Charles W. and Lucretia F. Hoyt Hill is Perkins Cemetery in Erie County, Ohio.
