Eunice Tucker Hill Hall:
  • She was my dad's mother; Mother of Wiley Benjamin Hill, Jr., Earl Rudolph Hill, and Beatrice Meda Hill.

  • "Grandma Hall", (to me), was born 14 December 1887 in a little place known as Acme, in Jasper County, Mississippi, USA.  Wikipedia has this to say about Jasper County.
    • Acme:
      Acme, established in 1823, was located twelve miles east of Bay Springs. It was named for its location as it stood on the highest point in a range of hills in the area, and is now extinct.  Source
