Mr. Hill died at his home on Sunday evening, December 12, 2004 following a long battle with cancer.

Fred Lyle Hill was born September 17, 1912 to Fred Gove McCurdy Hill and LaVinnia Mae McMinn Hill at Oak Lawn Farms in Little Cedar, Iowa. His mother passed away when he was four, whereby his grandparents, Richard and Martha Hill moved back to the farm to care for him. His father later married Verna Graves when "Lyle" was eleven. To that union was born a daughter, Glenna Mae Hill (Hastings.) Verna passed away when Glenna was still a teen.

His father,Fred, married Gladys Pearl Thompson Young and this added three more siblings to the family, Virginia (Forrest) Ellison, Marion (Mildred) Young and Charles (Helen) Young.

Lyle (the name he went by in Little Cedar) graduated from Little Cedar High School in 1929, Valedictorian of his class. On October 28, 1933 he married Thelma Lucille Tabor in Floyd, Iowa. They made their home in Little Cedar, Lyle working the farm with his Dad and driving school bus, a job he had started while still in school which at that time was a horse-drawn wagon. To this union were born three daughters, Barbara (Robert) Langan of Austin, Minn, Beatrice Bettie and Jerry) Deden of Comstock, Wisc., Patricia Nybo of Eagan, Minn, and a son, Bryan and Kim Hill of Omaha, Neb.

In 1939, the family purchased the Sinclair Service Station in McIntire, Iowa. Lyle also ran a scrap truck to St. Paul, Minn. In 1941, the family moved to Austin, MInn where both parents began working at the Hormel Factory.

With the war raging, Lyle went to enlist in the service, not being able to pass the exam due to his eyesight, he chose to stay in Akron, Ohio, working in an airplane factory making wings for the Martin P-54. He stayed on there until mid-1943. On May 1, 1942 a home was purchased and moved into, a home that has seen many changes under the workmanship of Lyle. It was his home until now.

Lyle retired from Hormel Co. in September 1977 after 35 years of working the same job in the hog kill head bench.

Preceding him in death were his wife, Thelma, two granddaughters, Mary Elizabeth Langan and Denise Seavey, brothers, Marion and Charles Young.
