  Notes	William Lillie and Hannah Eliot, the parents of Lamira, came from New York and first went to Iowa (probably Mechanicsville), then in 1864 they went by wagon train to Idaho. William Lillie was Wagon Master for an 80 wagon train--a train large enough to have no trouble with the Indians. They would see them scouting in the distance but had no interference from them. A few approached them occasionally, trying to buy some food (such as a dollar for a biscuit), but her father would not sell, for he knew the money was ill-gotten from other wagon trains. During the trip they came across other wagons that had been burned. The family, after some three years in Idaho, moved down to the Sacramento Valley in California. William Lillie settled in Venado (no longer on the map). My Dad said he had a blacksmith shop, stage stop and stables in Sites (about 12 miles west of Maxwell), but I can find no evidence for his being at Sites. Venado is only about 20 miles from Sites. An extract from the family bible showed him to be a blacksmith and Justice of the Peace at Venado. Perhaps he first went to Sites and then to Venado. We do know that he homesteaded 160 acres a mile or two west of Venado in 1880, and it is still known as the Lillie place. [5]
