Sarah Althea Hill (March 26, 1850 – February 14, 1937) was a socialite in San Francisco in the 1880s. She became a national celebrity when she sued millionaire Senator William Sharon for divorce in 1883, claiming to have secretly married him three years earlier by private contract. The case set legal precedent and spawned numerous spin-off cases that dragged on for nearly a decade. == Early years ==
Hill was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the daughter of attorney Samuel H. Hill and Julia Sloan. Her older brother was Hiram Morgan Hill, for whom the California town of Morgan Hill is named. Both of their parents died while they were minors, leaving them to be cared for by relatives. When they came of age, they received $20,000 each as their inheritance from their parents.〔Robin C.
