Herman and Margaret Hillman homesteaded in the Hola District in 1900. They had 5 children, John, Lena, Joe, Harry and Peter.
Their eldest is pictured here on his wedding day. John married Dora Eymundson (daughter of Kris Johannson) on May 5, 1917 in the Markerville Lutheran Church. Dora was the widow of Hannes Eymundson (d. 1915). They had 2 daughters, Johanna (Hanna) and Christiana (Shanna).
John and Dora had 7 children, Clifford, Evelyn, Elmer, Doris, Bernese, June and Marilyn.
