O. Jameson (1886) WILLIAM FRANCIS HILL, ESQ. WILLIAM FRANCIS HILL, son of George and Sylvia (Grout) Hill, was born Oct. 23, 1860, in West Medway. He pursued his studies in Boston and Wilbraham, and afterwards went to Dedham, where he was employed in his brother's law office until the spring of 1881. When the Dedham Water Company wished to employ a young man who would begin with the first laying of the pipes and grow up with the work, Mr. Hill was selected by the company and given a very responsible position, and through faithful attention to duties was, upon the completion of the works, at the early age of twenty-one years, made the superintendent thereof, which office he still holds; he is also clerk of the corporation. This company has over fifteen miles of main water pipes; an extension of over two thousand feet was made the past year under the personal direction of the superintendent. The important trusts committed to him by the directors show their confidence in his abilities and integrity.
