Emma S. Hill (c.1859-1915), later known as Emma S. Woodson, was born in
Rockford, Illinois, and died in Sacramento, California. She was a student of Miranda R.
Rice, a former student of Mary Baker Eddy's who left the Christian Science movement
during the Lynn Rebellion of 1881. After studying with Rice, Hill maintained a
metaphysical healing practice in San Francisco, California, and then Los Angeles,
California. By 1894 she had stopped advertising as a metaphysical healer and moved to
Sacramento, where she married Joseph A. Woodson in 1903. There is no record of Hill
studying with Mary Baker Eddy or joining the Church of Christ (Scientist).
