General Notes: Husband - Harry Royer Dill

---

He was born on the old Dill homestead at Dilltown, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and began his education in the common schools of Buffington township. Later he attended select school at Armagh and the Johnstown public schools. His first employment was with the Pacific & Atlantic Telegraph Company at Johnstown, as telegrapher, and after a year in that employ he changed to the service of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, in the same capacity, at Connellsville, Fayette County, for a period of twelve years. At the end of that time he went out to Iowa, where he was employed by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company for a few years. Returning East he was successively at Hinton, West Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, and Paris, Kentucky, where he was employed by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company for seven years. His next position was with the Central Railroad Company of Georgia, for whom he was located at Macon, for two and a half years, following which he was with the Illinois Central Railroad Company for thirteen years, his work taking him all over the system of the Illinois Central railroad. During all these years he was engaged as operator, train dispatcher, train master and, the last nineteen years of his services, as superintendent on the different roads mentioned above. Returning to the town of his birth in 1905, he engaged in the lumber business and opened the large general business there which became widely known all over the adjacent territory as the Dill Supply Company. He put up the large building in which the business was carried on.
He served as justice of the peace and was school director and member of the local election board. In politics he was a Republican. He was a Mason, belonging to the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Commandery and Shrine, and a member of the Royal Arcanum.
