#PalacesAndGardens theme of #LastWords
"But if we're talking about actual Last Words, I think David Hill, #TenMinutesFromHome really has the winner for around here. As the founder OF Hillsboro, he has a whole city named for him. More in alt text."
#MickPic #MementoMori #Hillsboro #DavidHill

David Hill (1809–May 9, 1850) was a Connecticut-born pioneer, farmer, and prominent politician who arrived in the Oregon Country in 1841 and established the 640-acre land claim that later became downtown Hillsboro.

Early Life and Arrival in Oregon

• Journey: Hill traveled via wagon train over the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Territory, arriving around October 1841.
• Tualatin Valley: He wintered with Joseph L. Meek before securing a 640-acre donation land claim in what was then called Twality (Washington) County.
• Family: In 1846, he married Lucinda "Lucy" McWilliams Wilson Hill Simmons, who brought four children to the marriage.

Political and Civic Career

• Provisional Government: Hill was active in early Oregon governance, participating in the historic May 2, 1843, Champoeg Meeting where he voted for the Provisional Government.
• Executive Committee: He served as chair of the Legislative Committee and was elected to the three-man Executive Committee for 1843–1844, acting in effect as part of Oregon's first executive leadership ("co-governor").
• Legislatures: He served in the Provisional Legislature (1844–1849) and later in the Oregon Territory House of Representatives (1849–1850).
• Naming and Townsite: He set up the area's first post office inside his cabin in 1843 and named the locality Columbus. When Washington County was established and designated a county seat in 1849–1850, Hill sold a portion of his land claim to the county for the townsite and courthouse in exchange for $200 (which was later paid to his widow).

Death and Legacy

• Passing: David Hill died on May 9, 1850, at age 41.
• Hillsboro's Name: To honor his foundational role, the community—briefly called Columbus and Hillsborough—was named after him.
• Memorials:
• He is buried at the Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery on his original land claim.
• His legacy is recognized in the Oregon State Capitol frieze.
• David Hill Elementary School, Named for his legacy

A Hillsboro resident documented Klan flyers with a phone, for free. Our paper, the Times-Gazette, ran wildlife officers and the Bengals. Put us on your masthead or do your damn job.

#politicalcartoon #satire #editorialcartoon #hillsboro

Editorial cartoon. At a kitchen table late at night, a furious middle-aged man in glasses and a work shirt gestures at his laptop, which shows The Times-Gazette's news page listing: "Ohio Farm Bureau president makes gas tax statement," "Highland County S.O. Reports," "Hillsboro FFA members participate in Junior Fair Board," "Lady Tigers soccer topples Cavs, 3-2," and "Bengals deserved to lose." He shouts, "The Klan was reported in our town. Where's the story?!" A crumpled Klan flyer reading only "Neighborhood Watch," its bottom blacked out, lies on the table. Caption: "Dereliction of duty."

Screenshot of The Times-Gazette's website front page as of 11 a.m. Sept 30, 2026, with its photos and an ad redacted, showing local news and sports headlines and no story about the Ku Klux Klan flyers.

See a flyer? Report it.
FBI: https://tips.fbi.gov
DOJ: https://civilrights.justice.gov
Sheriff: (937) 393-1421

Sheriff Sanders: citizens are doing your investigating for you. Put us on payroll or do your damn job.

Editorial cartoon, split in two by a zigzagging phone cord. Left: at night, a frightened young mother presses a phone to her ear beside her front door while hooded Klansmen with torches stand outside the window and her small child peeks from the hallway. Her laptop shows two open sites, tips.fbi.gov and civilrights.justice.gov. Right: a Highland County Sheriff's deputy in a headset takes the call at his desk. Standing on the desk, Mr. Pocket, a walking pocket Constitution with spectacles and a red bow tie, points at the deputy while holding open the 14th Amendment: "...nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." He says, "She did her part. Now do yours." Caption: "Report it: Sheriff. FBI. DOJ. Then vote."

@twamburgey.bsky.social Sep 30, 2026, 3:02 PM

The flyer. A Hillsboro resident posted publicly that it "was being left on people's doors in Hillsboro last night." Every word is theirs. Their contact info stays blacked out.

#politicalcartoon #satire #editorialcartoon #hillsboro

Editorial cartoon. An older Black woman in a bathrobe and slippers sits on her front porch steps at dawn, chin in her hand, looking unimpressed. She holds up a Ku Klux Klan flyer headed "Neighborhood Watch," showing a hooded figure pointing beside a security camera, with the text "No NEED for FLOCK When Were on the Block. You can sleep Sound tonight The Klan is AWAKE." The flyer's contact information is covered by a black bar stamped "Not giving you the click." More flyers are scattered on her lawn. Caption: "In their own words."

@twamburgey.bsky.social Sep 30, 2026, 3:02 PM

Klan flyers hit Worthington and Clintonville Sept 28–29, confirmed by police and WOSU. A Hillsboro resident documented the same flyers on doors here. Not alleging William Bader dropped these — but his group's name is on them.

#politicalcartoon #satire #editorialcartoon #hillsboro

Editorial cartoon. On a small-town street at night, William Bader stands in a white Klan robe with his hood pulled off and tucked under his arm, wearing a button reading "William Bader — Self-Proclaimed Imperial Wizard." He holds a bag of "Neighborhood Watch" flyers and flinches, shielding his eyes from flashlight beams. Three hooded Klansmen cower behind him. Across the street, five unarmed neighbors of different races stand behind a picket fence in front of their lit homes, pointing flashlights and recording on their phones, while a child watches from a window. Caption: "You're awake? So are we."
