In the 1880 census Kate (age 21), Keeping House, was the wife of Reuben T. Hilliard in Evanston, Uinta, Wyoming Territory, United States.[1]
Mrs. Hilliard became very active in politics in Utah, beginning with the Populist Party. She served as a state delegate to the Populist Party's national convention in St. Louis in 1896. In the 1900 census Kate (age 46) was the wife of R J Hilliard in Ogden, Weber, Utah, United States.[2]
Mrs. Hilliard later joined the Socialist Party, serving as a delegate to the 1901 state organizing convention. She was active in the party's Woman's National Committee. She also ran for the Utah state legislature in the early 1900s. In 1908, Hilliard addressed Ogden's First Congregational Church. In her address, "Why I Belong to No Church," printed in the March 23 Ogden Standard, Mrs. Hilliard claimed that any church "as a whole is either silent or against efforts of the working class to free itself from wage slavery." In the 1910 census Kate (age 54) was listed as the wife of Ruben T Hilliard in Ogden Ward 5, Weber, Utah, United States. They had a 28-year-old roomer Leroy F. Southwick.[3]
The family moved east to New Jersey. In the 1920 census Kate (age 65) was the wife of Ruben T Hilliard in Newark, Essex, New Jersey, United States.[4] Kate and Ruben were in a directory in 1920 with a home at 71 Roseville Avenue in Lower Roseville, Newark, Essex County, New Jersey.[5]
Kate died in July 1922 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States.[6][7][8]
