News article detailing Hillsview Farms Sanitarium, Aug 1922: "Hillsview Sanitarium set amid beautiful surroundings". The Daily Notes (Canonsburg, Pennsylvania), 8 Aug 1922, Page 1, Col. 4, 5 and Page 3, Col. 4, accessed 5 Dec 2014 Page 1: Clipping, Full Page Page 3: Clipping, Full Page Hillsview Sanitarium Set amid Beautiful Surroundings By D. H. Fee Hillsview Sanitarium Washington, Aug., 8, 1922. 'Hillsview,' like Mount Zion is beautiful for situation. It stands high and dry on what was long the LeMoyne farm, and the farmhouse still stands within a short distance of the sanitarium. This is where Julius LeMoyne, long one of he county's most prominent and successful Livestock breeders and farmers, lived. His widow, now well past her eightieth milestone, still resides in the homestead, and will as long as she remains in the flesh. Near the old farmhouse are a number of elm trees. One of these is particularly fine. It is said Mr. LeMoyne planted this tree about a half century ago. It is of the 'weeping' variety of elm. The top is finely shaped, and its branches (it is a weeping elm) touch the ground. A few years ago a lady who was here for treatment, and whose room looked out on the weeping elm, wrote a beautiful poem on this noble tree, and it was published in a periodical of general circulation. The buildings of the sanitarium are modern and well adapted to the purpose for which they are devoted. There are some sixty rooms in the building, and during the greater part of the year they are all occupied. The buildings stand on a beautiful lawn, which is nicely kept and which is bordered by beds of choice flowers and flowering shrubs. Mr. Hull, who with his wife, Dr. Hull, are the proprietors of the sanitarium and the farm in connection with it, is a great lover of flowers and an authority on their cultivation. Appropriately Named The views from the sanitarium warrant the name 'Hillsview.' In fact there are views in several directions, all of them fine. To the south, in the direction of Waynesburg, is unfolded a panorama comprised of hills and vales and rimmed by a ridge semi-circular in form. Beyond this ridge appear a number of high points, one of which is Mount Wheeler, said to be the highest point in this region. The Waynesburg and Washington Railroad is just over the ridge from here. It climbs to the tops of the highest hills and then daringly runs along the ridge until it finds a point where it can safely slope down into the next hollow (Continued on Page Three) In the next hollow, at a point not far from Chambers Dam, it is said by local Baron . . . The patients here come from Washington, Canonsburg, Wheeling, Pittsburg and other points. There are more women than men, but there are also some men. . . This 'hill' is not unknown historically. It was originally 'Gallows Hill,'. . . Later Dr. Julius LeMoyne erected his crematory on Gallows Hill . . .
