Biography contributed by Robert Wight

Walter Hill, who attained the rank of sergeant, was for many years, from his boyhood on-with the late Mr P. Halloran and was also well and popularly known throughout the district which he left some eight or nine years ago. He leaves a wife and seven children, for whom the greatest sympathy is expressed throughout the district.
