Edgar F. Hill

Sources conflict on name: William Edgar Hill (Snider, citing church records) vs. Edgar F. Hill (Winnie's obituary, death records).

The following article appeared on the editorial page of the Zanesville Times Recorder on 1 July 1964:
EDGAR (ED) HILL, PATROLMAN
Edgar F. (Ed) Hill was an excellent state highway patrolman.
He had all the qualities of a good police officer: intelligence,
perseverance, patience, honesty and integrity.
Corporal Hill was also a man of tact, understanding and kind-
ness - qualities that stood out in harpest focus when he was
dealing with the worst offenders.
He was also a man of great personal courage - courage that
manifested itself many, many times as he battled against for sev-
eral months; courage that he displayed when a son, Patrick, was
killed in a traffic accident last December.
Corporal Hill had been a member of the State Highway Patrol
for 18 years, 11 of them in Zanesville. He was admired and
respected by his fellow officers, and this, perhaps, is the truest
measure of his character.
His death at 49 is tragic. We offer our condolences to his family.
The community has lost an officer and a gentleman.

he had been threshing and was on his way to his home a mile west
