Notes:

Mary Helen Haines notes:
My beloved aunt....she was taken away too soon by breast cancer. Aunt Jane hosted me at her house during one summer when I was in highschool and it is one of my favorite memories.

Jane was quite a popular girl in highschool. There are these quotes from the newspaper:
"Officers' Dance Is High School Feature---Officers from every high school in Dallas were entertained at a formal dance Friday night in the Highland Park High School gymnasium...Al Avery led the grand march with Jane Hill."

and then another event "Jane Hill danced with so many poeple that it was hard to find out who was her escort."

also "Mis Jane Hill will entertain with an open house for 200 guests from 2 to 5 o'clock Sunday afternnon at her home, 5406 Junius street. The guests will be received by Miss Hill and her mother, Mrs. Joe M. Hill. ....During the afternoon, tea will be poured by Mrs. Clyde W. Gwinn, Mrs. Gordon B. McFarland, Mrs. James R. McFarland and Mrs. Durward Mahon....Out of town guests will include Miss Frances Williams of Ladonia and Miss Elizabeth Speight of Waco."

This obituary is from The Ladonia News, July 22, 1977.
