HILL FAMILY. SEE BRAY FAMILY.
EDWARD HENRY HILL, M. D., eldest son of Wil- liam and Charlotte (Bray) Hill, was born May 7, 1844. He was a bright studious boy in the public school of his neighborhood, took a course of English and classical study at Bridgton Academy, and at Bates College. His sub- sequent career was as medical student with Drs. E. M. Wight of Gorham, New Hampshire, and with Dr. G. L. Kilgore of Windham, Maine; later taking a regular course of medical study at Harvard University, where he grad- uated in 1857, with the degree of M. D. He first settled in Durham, Maine, where he laid the foundation of a successful practice. His ambition to work in a wider field, led him to remove to Lewiston, where he at once became associated with Dr. Alonzo Garcelon. He entered at once on a sphere of wide professional acquaintance and useful- ness. "His broad scholarship, his profound learning in his profession, his skill and success as a surgeon, his whole- souled devotion to his calling, and more than all else, his
494
A HISTORY OF THE
unselfish interest in the welfare of his patients, gave him, at an early period in his labors, a standing enviable among his associates. These qualities made him staunch friends among his co-workers in medicine and surgery." A daily Lewiston paper, from which the above extract is taken, says further : "Dr. Hill spent his spare moments over books of science and in keeping up-to-date in all his methods. In his pri- vate practice he never worked for the money in it for himself, but for those whose suffering it became his duty and privilege to relieve. It was always his choice to help another first; remuneration might or might not be given- it mattered less to him."
But a greater ambition eventually took possession of him, suggested by the urgent necessities of the commu- nity in which he was located. It was as early as 1880 that Dr. Hill realized the pressing need of a General Hospital in Lewiston. He was one of the chief agitators of the enterprise and its most ardent and influential advocate. For ten years, but little headway was made further than the organization of a corporation. In 1891, Dr. Hill's zeal became so great and resistless that, on his own personal responsibility, he purchased an eligible property which con- stitutes a part of the grounds of the present Central Maine General Hospital. Owning this property, he was urged to make it his own private hospital, but with the generosity which distinguished his whole life, he desired it to be for the benefit of all, and he wished his professional breth- ren to be associated with him in carrying on the medical work. He, therefore, the day after its purchase, trans- ferred the property to the hospital corporation.
The above narrative of the circumstances under which a celebrated Maine Hospital was called into existence, is sufficient to perpetuate the name and fame of a native son of Harrison, who is acclaimed as the "Founder of the Cen- tral Maine General Hospital."

TOWN OF HARRISON.
Dr. Hill, eleven years before his death, incurred a sick ness that caused him ever after to be an invalid. The cause of his first prostration and the painful illness that succeeded for the remaining years of his life was an un- usual exposure while returning home from a professional visit on a cold, stormy night, from which he contracted a disease of the spine. He continued to attend to his prac- tice to some extent, till only a few days before his death, when he was prostrated with a severe cold from which, in his debilitated condition, he did not recover. In spite of the efforts of physicians and the care of affectionate friends, he passed away on Sunday morning, July 17, 1904, at the age of sixty years. A near friend of Dr. Hill thus ex- presses the general estimation felt for his noble life and character : "There are not words in our language to one- half express the true worth of his great heart and soul."
DR. HORACE B. HILL.
With profound pleasure, we are permitted to record the educational and professional history of the younger brother, whose medical and scientific services to the State and its unfortunate people render him a deserving object of our remembrance and deep regard for the honor he has reflected on the town of his birth. Dr. Horace B. Hill was born in Harrison, near the old Free Baptist Church, and received his first lessons in learning in the old country school. He attended Bridgton Academy two years in 1868-1869, entering Bowdoin College in the latter year, and graduating in the class of '73.
After teaching several years in South Berwick and Hampton Academies, he entered upon the study of medi - cine at the medical school of Maine and the Long Island Hospital in Brooklyn, N. Y., from which he was graduated

in 1880. After one year's practice in Lewiston with his brother, Dr. Edward H. Hill, he received the appointment as assistant physician at the Maine Insane Hospital in Augusta, Maine, and after two years was promoted to Assistant Superintendent, in which capacity he served near- ly twenty-seven years. In October, 1907, Dr. Hill ten- dered his resignation of that honorable position, and has been traveling through portions of the West, with an in- tention to locate in that section as a settled physician. Thus for more than thirty years has our Harrison boy, whom but few, now living remember, grown into a learned pro- fessional career, and, though serving the State in a po- sition comparatively secluded from the observation of the public, has been, yet, the means of conferring inestimable benefits upon the most unhappy and suffering class of the inhabitants of the State.
Dr. Hill has been twice married: Ist, to Miss Jennie Redlon of Vassalboro, Maine, in 1888. Her death took place two years later, and in 1893, he married Miss Harriet L. Metcalf of Lewiston, Maine. Dr. Hill is a member of the Maine Medical, and the American Medical Asso. ciations, and several others of less note. He is also a member of several fraternities, notably the Mystic Shrine.
