| | ANDREW P. HILL- ARTIST, SANTA CLARA PIONEER BIOGRAPHY |
 | | Hill brings to his work the energy, excellence and distinction which is characteristic of the undertakings of the artists, authors and statesmen of the state of Indiana, where he was born near Valparaiso, Porter County, August 9, 1853, and where he lived until he was fourteen. |
 | | Hill is descended from colonial stock, for his mother Jennie (Rose) Hill, was the daughter of Henry Montgomery and Sallie (Frisby) Rose, the former of whom served in the War of 1812, and was in turn the son of a Revolutionary soldier. |
 | | Hill was known as the "Murphy Party," the first emigrant party ascending to the summit from Donner Lake, and which because of its faithfulness to incidents of the pioneer life of the state, was purchased and placed in the historical room of the California Pioneers' Association of San Francisco, but destroyed by fire in 1906. |
