Schroll, Maud Van Cortlandt Hill Dorcy, 1903-1997.
Maud Van Cortlandt Hill, known frequently as Maudie, was born June 1, 1903 in St. Paul. She was the second child of Louis W. Hill, president and chairman of Great Northern Railway and son of railroad baron James J. Hill, and Maud Van Cortlandt Taylor Hill. Maud and her three brothers, Louis Jr., Jerome, and Cortlandt, lived an extremely privileged life in their home on Summit Avenue in St. Paul; she attended school at Summit Academy and the family traveled extensively to their secondary homes at North Oaks Farm, in northern Ramsey County, and Pebble Beach, California, and took frequent trips world-wide. In 1933 Maud married San Francisco writer Laurence Dorcy in Del Monte, California. They honeymooned in Hawaii and settled outside San Francisco, where Maud would live the rest of her life. The births of two children, a son and daughter, quickly followed. The couple divorced in 1941. In 1943 Maud married Austrian skiing champion Hannes Schroll with whom she had two more children. Maud died on October 15, 1997 in Woodside, California.
