He received a common school education from primitive schools of his day. On March 11, 1857, he was joined in wedlock to Donna M. Halstead, who has borne him a family of three sons, all living—John E., Winfield S. and Henry C. During most of his life, Mr. Hill has engaged in farming, and with good success, as is shown, by a good farm of 200 acres in Stafford Township, well-improved and under a good state of cultivation and well stocked. He is a member of the Baptist Church near where he lives. A Republican in politics, he has held several minor township offices, and usually donates freely to the charities of his community. He is one of the hard-working and progressive men of Greene County, who is appreciated by all his neighbors.
