Clifford A Hill

Cliff was born March 8, 1924, in Petersburg, IL to the late Harry P. and Edna (Boehm) Hill. He grew up

in a rural area and rode his pony to school every day. He attended a one room school house where his

job was to arrive early and build a fire to warm the school for the day. After high school graduation he

attended welding school and moved to Evansville to work on the LSTs in the shipyard. In the evenings he

was a rink master at a local skating rink where he met his future wife, Dorothy Wade. They married in

1945 and he was drafted into the Army. A veteran of WW II, he was a true member of the ‘Greatest

Generation’.
