Philanthropist, GOP powerbroker Elsie Hillman dies at 89 ...

PITTSBURGH Elsie Hillman, a philanthropist and political activist who helped propel moderate Republicans to state and national offices, died Tuesday. She was 89.
Her death was confirmed by her husband of 70 years, billionaire industrialist Henry Hillman, and their four children.
Elsie Hillman is a former Republican National Committeewoman who used her political acumen and money to help President George H.W. Bush get elected in 1988 and congressman Tom Ridge get elected governor in 1994.
Hillman was also known to have advised or supported former Republican Govs. William Scranton and Dick Thornburgh, former U.S. Sens. John Heinz and Arlen Specter, and former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.

"The death of Elsie Hillman marks the end of an era in American politics and our nation is the poorer for this loss," Thornburgh said in a statement. "Elsie was a true patriot, devoted to the principles that made our political system work for all of our citizens."
Her friendship with Bush began in the 1940s, when he was an oil entrepreneur with her brother, Toby Hilliard.

In the 1980 campaign, she helped Bush win the GOP primary in Pennsylvania before Ronald Reagan eventually won the party's nomination and then the presidency with Bush as his running mate.
In a statement Tuesday, Bush called her "one of the brightest points of light and finest political activists" in the country.
"She seemed to know everyone," Bush said. "And she had respect and admiration even from those with whom she did not always agree on issues."

Hillman was known for her moderate views and support of abortion rights, as well as for her unpretentious clothing and habit of always being late.

When she retired after 20 years as a GOP national committeewoman in 1996, Pennsylvania state Sen. Robert Jubelirer hailed her as "the heart and soul of the Pennsylvania Republican Party."
Her support of moderates was credited with helping Republicans win statewide office despite a Democratic registration edge in the state.
Before helping Ridge win as governor, she supported Heinz, who was elected to the House in 1971 and the Senate in 1976 and was considered a presidential hopeful before he died in a plane crash in 1991........

Elsie Hillman's obituary mentions her brother Toby, a close friend of Bush. Toby Hilliard's obituary mentions his Princeton roommate, F.I.G. Coleman.
Coleman and Toby Hilliard were both members of this small, 1941 graduating class.:

A few things to consider. Specter's backer, Elsie Hillman was the wife of a billionaire and her brother was part of the Midland wildcatters in the early 1950's. Tom Devine was in Midland as well at that time, drilling with his partner, Albert Cabell Bruce. Bruce had married Jackie's best friend, Jessie Leigh Hunt, and his best man was Iredell Iglehart. Iglehart's sister Anne, hosted a pre-wedding party for Albert and Jessie. Anne is described later, here.:


Elsie Hillman's and her brother Toby's uncle was Air Force Secretary Harold E. Talbott, Jr., shafted by Prescott Bush to the great benefit of Jupiter Island's Charles L. Bartlett. Their
first cousin was married to Bush's uncle, Dr. John M. Walker. The wife of Toby Hilliard's St. Paul's and Princeton classmate and roommate, F.I.G. Coleman, was a WWII OSS staffer in the office of James Angleton. So was Julia Coleman's cousin, and her cousin's brother was billionaire, Roger Milliken.
