Emma Ann, sometimes known as Emily, was the 3rd of 13 children of John Thomas & Susan Jane Pilcher Dulin. Emma Ann married George W. Hill, son of Mary Margaret Holmes & David Coleman Hill, Sr. Her sisters, Margaret H. and Lucy J. Dulin, married George's brothers, David C., Jr. & John W. Hill.
George & Emma bore 9 children and made their home near the Dulins at Flint Run. Emma raised their 8 surviving children by herself after George's untimely death in a sawmill accident in 1896, and his burial in Dulin's Graveyard near their infant son, Henry S. Hill.
Family oral history reports that Emma and the children cut ice on the river and sold it to oil and gas well workers who needed it to keep their stores of nitroglycerine cold. Emma also cooked and sold meals to those workers in the gas and oil wells in order to support her family.
Emma spent the last years of her life in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Anna Mae and Curtis Cottrill, in Parkersburg, WV. She is buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery, with some of her children and spouses.
