Mr. Hill, 76, is a native of Illi

moved to Kansas where they were
sodhouse homesteaders. He grew
up there. His formal education
ended in grade school
At the turn of the century Mr.,
Hill was a wholesale distributor;
of automobiles. In his travels in
Kansas and Nebraska, populariz-1
ing the new mode of transporta-i
tion, he paused on day in 1906 1
near Republic, Kas. A monument ;
was being unveiled on the sup- :
posed location of a visit of Zebu-
Ion Pike, explorer after whom '
Pike's Peak is named, to a Pawnee
Indian village. He became inter-.
ested, extensively studied Pike's
travels, and discovered the site
was really in Webster county, Neb.
Search Conducted.
This incident led to an amateur.
and later a professional, half cen
tury's search for historical, and
pre-historical information about
people who lived in Nebraska. To
day Mr. Hill is known as the
"father of systematic archeology
in Nebraska," which is the science
of studying the relics of past hu
man life. if,
Mr. Hill's Interest In Nebraska's '
past brought him in close associa
tion with the Indians of Nebraska.
particularly the Pawnees, who
made him a member of the tribe..
In the nineteen twenties he was
associated with the late Dr. A. E.'
Sheldon of the Nebraska State
Historical Society on field trips
and in 1926 became a member cf
the society. Since that time he has
served on the Board and in va
rious offices of the society. Early
in 1927, Mr. Hill and A. M. Brook
ings of Hastings started the Has-
tings Museum which is now that
city's well known "House of Yes-,;
terday."
Contributed.
In 1930-31-32 he contributed',
money and equipment to Univer- '
peditions. Since then he has con
tinued to recover the story
Nebraska's past with annual His
torical Society expeditions which
were interrupted only by the war.
"Mr. Hill Is an esteemed public
servant. His contribution to the
history and pre-history of Ne-
braska constitutes a great cultural
achievement," Dean Green said.
"For a half century he has pro- '
duced much information on Ne- '
braska's past. He has inspired (
many young men to achieve ;
greater things in life as a wise
counselor. His archeological work
nas received national recognition.
He has been a true guardian of the
historical resources of this state."
