J. H. Hill

                                                       Butcher at Winfield.
Speculation on my part!
Early butchering shop was called “Miller & Hill.” Hill was not identified.
Some years later we have “Hill & Christie” and find out that the “Hill” was J. H. Hill.
Conclusion: J. H. Hill had two partners: Miller and Christie.

Miller & (?) Hill meat market...
Winfield Courier, September 11, 1874.
EVERYBODY got tired of reading the Beecher-Tilton scandal and they have now turned their attention to their own affairs. The first thing they did was to walk into Miller & Hill’s meat market where they got the tenderest, sweetest meat they ever saw. Beef, Pork, Veal, Mutton, all kinds of sausage, and in fact anything kept in a first class market, can be had by calling at Miller & Hill’s, one door south of St. Nicholas.
Winfield Plow and Anvil, November 19, 1874.
FINE MEATS.—No man ever bought a finer steak or roast than can be had at Miller & Hill’s meat shop every day. They have a number of splendid beeves, and kill none but  the best.

BIRTHS. Mr. J. H. Hill is a patriotic citizen. He called in a few weeks ago and asked if it was really true that Wellington’s census gave more population than Winfield. We told him it so appeared from the fickle figures of the Wellington’s lightning statistician. He said he’d “help down ’em,” and passed out. Today we receive the startling announcement that his wife has presented him with a pair of bouncing boys. That’s business, and shows what can be done when a Winfield man turns his attention to census matters. Mr. Clerk, please put Winfield down for 4,002 and leave blanks for returns from the outlying precincts.
