Enoch R. Hill, who is carrying on general agricultural pursuits on section 3, Forest township, Winnebago county, being the owner of the Plain View Farm, was born December 20 1890 in the county where he still resides, his parents being R. J. and Inger Sampson Hill. His boyhood days were passed in the usual manner of the farm bred boy his time being divided between the duties of the schoolroom, the pleasures of the playground and the work of the fields. He supplemented his public school training by a year's study in college. He lived with his grandparents from the time that he was two weeks old, and after they had been called to their final rest he inherited the old homestead property on section 3, Forest township, comprising one hundred and fifteen acres of well improved and highly cultivated land. He is one of the enterprising and progressive farmers of his township and carefully, wisely and systematically cultivates his fields and manages his farm property.

In his political views Mr. Hill is a republican and keeps well informed on the questions and issues of the day but has never been an office seeker. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Lutheran church.
