Here is some HILL information. It may be a bit more than you requested, but I think you will find it useful. Also, do you have Samuel's will from Johnson County?
W. H. Mahaney
W. H. Mahaney was born in Gasconade Co., Mo., July 22, 1864 and died at St. Luke’s hospital, in Kansas City, June 24, 1933 at the age 68 years, 11 months, and 2 days. At the age of nine years he with his parents, moved to the State of Texas and resided there till 1903, when he moved to Frederick, Okla., and lived there till 1914 when he came to Olathe.
He was united in marriage to Miss Anna Hill, Feb. 7, 1911. The departed leaves three children by a former marriage, W. E. Mahaney, of Wichita Falls, Tex., Morgan Mahaney of Olathe, Kansas and M. L. Mahaney of Chicago, Ill. Also, three brothers and one sister, A. L. Mahaney of Frederick, Okla., T. P. Mahaney of Huston, Tex., M. D. Mahaney of Dallas, Tex., and Mrs. Emma Roberts of Tulsa, Okla. By occupation Mr. Mahaney was a successful farmer standing high in his chosen vocation. At the age of seventeen, Mr. Mahaney who was the son of rev. Lloyd Mahaney, a Baptist minister, united with the Baptist church and remained loyal to his chosen faith. Mr. Mahaney is gone, but his memory will live long in the memory of those who knew him.
Dear is the spot where christens sleep,
And sweet the strain which angels poor’
Oh! Why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost, but gone before.
Secure from every mortal care,
By sin and sorrow vexed no more,
Eternal happiness they share,
Who are not lost, but gone before.
Not for the dead in Christ we weep,
Their sorrows now are O’er,
The sea is calm, the tempest past,
On that eternal shore.
Their peace is scale, their rest is sure,
Within that better home;
While We weep and linger here,
Then follow to the tomb.
The stream is calmest, when it nears the tide,
The flowers are sweetest at the eventide;
The birds most musical at the close of day,
And saints divinest in the pass away period.
Funeral services were held Monday, June 26, 1933 at 10 o’clock from the Olathe Funeral home. Conducted by the Rev. W. W. Blough of Olathe, Kansas. Interment was in the Olathe cemetery.

Death of Samuel H. Hill
After an illness covering a period of several days, Samuel H. Hill died at 2:30 o’clock Thursday morning at the family home near Clare. The funeral service was held at the home Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. H. T. Brubaker and Rev. W. Searey.
He was the son of Samuel and Susanna Hill, having been born in stokes county, North Carolina, September 7th, 1836. He removed with his parents in 1847 to Kentucky, and in 1856 he went to Mecoupin (sic) county, where he was united in marriage to Eliza T. Kent, daughter of Abner and Dianna Kent. She died December 26, 1900.
It was in 1869 that the family located just east of what is now Clare, southwest of Olathe, where he resided at the time of his death, at the age of 82 years one month and 17 days. With the exception of a few years spent in Olathe, while his children were being educated, and recently of two or three years spent in Oklahoma while his girls were proving upon homesteads, he had resided on the same farm.
Mr. Hill was a careful, conservative farmer and stockman, not only a hard worker, but a good manager as well, and lived to accumulate 800 acres of land, most of it in this county. He was always a square dealer” and his word once given, was a good as a Liberty bond. Kind and courteous always—and very gentle in demeanor, he was loved by old and alike (sic). His fine family of children, four stalwart sons and four comely daughters, all attest very careful home training.
Early in life he gave his heart to God and became a member of the Brethern church, remaining faithful to the work of that order until death. The survivors are Mrs. J. M. Morgan, near Gardner, John W. near Gardner, Mrs. William Mahaney on the home farm, Mrs. Mary Dunbar, Hollister, Okla., Mrs. Addie Hartshorn and Samuel J. near Gardner, ChasS., Loveland, Okla., and Elmer B., in the west. – Olathe Mirror

Look here for Johnson County, Kansas marriages. You will find some of these Hills

If you visit this link and scroll down a bit you will find a biographical sketch of Samuel H. Hill published in 1883 in Cutler’s History of Kansas.

I will have to go back to the library to look for Eliza’s obituary. 1900 is not indexed yet, but it won’t take to long to look, given that I have her death date. I will also check for Elmer’s, as I thought I saw his name in the index. I will also see who else may be in the cemetery index, as there are ~20 or so Hill listings.
Do you want me to see what else I can find on this family?
