DR. H. L. J. HILLE was born in Oldenburg, Germany, August 26, 1850, and is
a son of William and Mary (Lotze) Hille.  The father was born in Austria,
the mother in Oldenburg, Germany.  A brother of hers, Herman Lotze, has
achieved considerable notoriety as an author.  The parents came to this
county in 1842, and first settled in New Orleans.  From there they went to
West Virginia, and there the father first followed merchandising, afterward
saw-milling. The parents were on a visit to Germany when subject was born,
and they returned to this country soon after the latter event.  The father
continued to reside in West Virginia until his death, which occurred
November 3, 1876.  The mother died at Roaring Springs December 17, 1883.
Subject is the sixth of fifteen children, of whom but five are now living,
viz.: Henry (subject), Anna, Dora (wife of Robert Camp, in Texas), Adolph
(in Hopkinsville) and Fannie (wife of Dr. Greenwade, of Texas).  Our
subject's education was received in the schools of Putnam and Mason
Counties, W. Va., and at the Gallipolis (Ohio) Academy.  He commenced the
study of medicine when seventeen years old with Dr. A. R. Barbee, of Point
Pleasant, W. Va.; he read with this gentleman four years, and then attended
the medical department at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.  From
this institution he graduated in the class of 1871; he began the practice
of his profession immediately afterward, and first settled in Kanawha
County, W. Va.; he remained at this point two years, and then went to
Sherman, Grayson Co., Tex.; there he remained four years, and then came
to Kentucky; he immediately made Roaring Springs his place of residence,
and has since had a fair share of the practice of this part of the
country.  Dr. Hille was married at Dover, Tenn., October 25, 1875, to Miss
Camille Walter, a daughter of Bernard Walter, of Dover, Tenn.; she was
born February 18, 1855, and is the mother of five children, of whom three
are now living--Mary, Henry and Mabel.  In politics the Doctor votes the
Democratic ticket.
