   CLARENCE B. HILL, a prominent merchant of Fremont, N. H.,
was born at Deerfield, this state, March 12, 1882. He is a son of Martin
V. B. Hill, who with three brothers, enlisted and served in the Civil
war, Martin contracting a severe illness during his service, which ulti-
mately led to consumption, from which disease he died in 1888. He
married Emma F. Tilton of Deerfield, N. H., who still survives him.
   Clarence B. Hill was the youngest of his parents' three children. He
was educated in the village school and high school and at the age of
eighteen years began industrial life as a clerk in the store of Brown &
Kelsey, at Deerfield, where he remained three years. He then went to
Deerfield, where he purchased a store, which he conducted for two
years. At the end of that time, or in 1907, he sold out and came to Fre-
mont, where he entered into business for himself at his present loca-
tion, dealing in general merchandise. His store is one of the best in this
part of the county and he is doing a large and successful business. A
Republican in politics, he is now serving as town supervisor and trustee.
He is a member of the Grange, and served it as assistant steward while
a resident of Deerfield.
   Mr. Hill was married, August 25, 1908, to Leona F. Robinson, of
Deerfield. They have no children. Mr. Hill is an enterprising and re-
liable citizen, taking an interest in everything calculated to promote the
prosperity and development of the town and county, and ready at all
times to lend his aid and influence to a worthy cause. He and his wife
have many friends in this part of the county.
