In 1900 Atwood, Logan County Samuel - October 1868 and Martha - July 1876 - Gill are farming. Next household has Lucinda Gill, widowed - December 1838 - living with daughter Hattie Jones and her husband Wilder Jones.
In 1910 Phillips County Samuel A. and Martha M. 33, Gill have Clark C., 9, Glen G. 8 and Ina L. 6, all three kids born in Colorado.
In 1920 Valley precinct a Samuel A. Gill 51, Illinois, divorced, is living alone. He didn't homestead in Yuma County, but a Martha Gill in 1920 owned two quarters about five miles south of Wages. Those two quarters were proved up in 1922 by Martha M. Underwood.
In 1920 Martha M Gill, divorced, is a nurse in Sterling, with only Inez 16. An Inez Gill married Otis Hamilton August 17, 1921 in Colorado. (Otis was 10 in 1910, 19 in 1920 Phillips County, living with parents. Otis and Inez in 1930 are in Galesburg, Illinois, where Otis works in a steel mill. They have Velma I, 7, born in Colorado. Otis is divorced in 1940 Dailey, Logan County
Inez is in Galesburg in 1940, 36, a power equipment operator, divorced, and Velma is with her. father Samuel, and cousin Charles Linn, 37)
Martha May Gill married Carl Charles Underwood July 6, 1921 in Colorado. (he must be the 24-year-old Carl Underwood in Brush in 1920, farm laborer, living with parents, and is "widowed" in 1940 Los Angeles, living with his brother Hilton Underwood)
In 1940 Inez Hamilton is in Galesburg, Illinois, and Samuel Gill is living with her.
Martha is buried in the Sterling cemetery, and Samuel died in Illinois.
(The Clifford Gill 1904-1962 buried in Norfolk is probably her younger brother. Minnie's parents came from England in 1895, and she was with them in Cambria County, Pennsylvania in 1900. Wonder if her being in Colorado is related to the James Franklin Gill 1873-1946 buried in Sterling....
