Mary G. Hill

At the age of 18, Hill was converted in Halsey Street Methodist Episcopal church, Newark, of which she was a devoted member for many years.

[3] Though Mrs. Hill was responsible for domestic duties, and often in feeble health, she cultivated her naturally strong intellect by judicious reading.

She was soon recognized as an able leader in temperance reform, and known and beloved for her spirit, ability, and eloquence in pleading for truth, justice, and righteousness.

As an organizer, she showed discrimination and tact in securing the right woman in every place, encouraging the timid, and holding a mild restraint upon those needing it.

[1] Associated with HILL in the Newark Union during the first of her administration as president, were Mrs. F. W. Moores, to whom came the inspiration for a "Noontide tryst" for White ribboners, and Mrs. Rev.

J. H. Knowles, whose sympathies always remained with the cause, but whose services for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church demanded most of her time.
