S. Route 50 was little more than a mud path. Enroute he met Washington Doggett on his run from Bainbridge to Hillsboro and there was friendly competition to see who would reach Hillsboro first. Alec was proud of his horses, even though in inclement weather his stage coach got stuck in the mud and he had to be pulled out. He drove four horses in relays. Sometimes he drove the black beauty, Black Hawk and Prince, the bay; at other times, Simon and Joe, the duns. He liked to speed up when he neared Hillsboro, for soon he was to pass his own farm home and after it, the tan yard, at the front of which was a frame house (now the Steimer residence). In this house lived the object of his affections, pretty Amy Jane Rhoades, the youngest daughter of the tanner. He wanted her to see he could beat Washington Doggett any old day. When the writer called at the Hilliard home on East Willow Street recently she found two courteous, friendly people who said that talking over old days was almost like living them over again. "The old school days at Brock's, Alec (his real name is Alexander) said pleasantly, "those were good days. I well remember the spell downs when Amy and I tried to spell each other down; when we played town bull, Andy over and mumblety peg with our school mates and when we went to Sunday school every Sunday afternoon at the school house. "My parents, Henry and Matilda Hilliard, had nine children. They moved to the farm near Hillsboro from Rainsboro. Of this family, only my brother, Cassius, of Xenia, and I survive. "Amy was one of the eight children of Isaac and Sarah Broadstone Rhoades. Mr. Rhodes made the shoes his children wore to school, using sap from the chestnut bark around his tan yard to tan the leather. He sold leather in the room now occupied by the Regal restaurant. There are only two of this family living, Amy and her sister Julie, aged 82, who makes her home with us." Mr. Hilliard drove the stage coach that brought the famous outlawn, Robert McKimie, to the jail at Hillsboro following his capture near Rainsboro. He recalls his likeable personality and good looks, and what a thrill he got in making the drive. "Those were exciting days," he said thoughtfully. "But youth is always exciting. It guess it is only age that is slow and calm." Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard have lived their entire lives in and near Hillsboro. They have nine children, all living: Herbert, Burch, Mabel (Mrs. Grover Wyatt of Portsmouth), Walter, Wilbur, George, Lyman, Mepha (Mrs. Elza Steele) and Charles of Lima. They have 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. 1940 United States Federal Census Name: Alexander Hilliard Age: 82 Estimated birth year: abt 1858 Gender: Male Race: White Birthplace: Ohio Marital Status: Married Relation to Head of House: Head Home in 1940: Hillsboro, Highland, Ohio Street: Willow Street House Number: 152 Farm: No Inferred Residence in 1935: Hillsboro, Highland, Ohio Residence in 1935: Same House Resident on farm in 1935: No Sheet Number: 10A Number of Household in Order of Visitation: 156 House Owned or Rented: Owned Value of Home or Monthly Rental if Rented: 5000 Attended School or College: No Highest Grade Completed: Elementary school, 8th grade Weeks Worked in 1939: 0 Income: 0 Income Other Sources: No Household Members: Name Age Alexander Hilliard 82 Amy Hilliard 80 Julia Rhoads 82 Margaret Berry 19 Ohio Deaths Name Alexander E Hilliard Event Type Death Event Date 28 Jan 1941 Event Place Hillsboro, Highland, Ohio Gender Male Age 81Yrs 7Mo 22Days Marital Status Widowed Race White Occupation Retired Birth Date 06 Jun 1859 Birthplace Hillsboro, Ohio Birth Year (Estimated) 1860 Burial Date 30 Jan 1941 Cemetery Hillsboro Cemetery Father's Name Henry Hilliard Mother's Name Lear Spouse's Name Amy Hilliard File Number fn 3933 GS Film number 2023890 Digital Folder Number 004035640 Image Number 01172
