S.G. HILL, D.D.S. - Among the prominent practitioners of dentistry in the city
of Seattle is he whose name initiates this review. He was born in Muscatine,
Iowa, October 24, 1864. His parents, Sylvester G. and Martha J. (Dyer) Hill,
were natives of Rhode Island and Maine respectively, descended from Puritan
stock of English ancestry. Sylvester G. Hill was a lumber manufacturer,
operating his own mill up to 1852, when he moved to Iowa and continued the same
occupation until 1862, when he took an active part in organizing the
Thirty-fifth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and was elected and commissioned
Colonel. The service of the regiment was in the Red river country, and through
the Mississippi valley in frequent raids and skirmishes; and while engaged in
the last charge on Nashville, Tennessee, in command of a brigade, Colonel Hill
was killed, in the advanced line of battle. S.G. Hill received his literary
education in the Iowa public schools and then entered the Philadelphia College
of Dentistry and graduated therefrom in 1884. He commenced practice in
Davenport, Iowa, and continued with gratifying success for three years; then
made a trip to Europe and traveled extensively through England and France,
practicing his profession in the dental institutes of those countries. He
returned to the United States in the fall of 1890 and came direct to Seattle,
where his brother, F.A. Hill, then resided. Dr. Hill at once opened offices for
the performance of operative and mechanical dentistry, and has built up a very
lucrative patronage among the representative families of the city. He was
married in 1892, to Mrs. Jennie (Eppler) Hasbrouck, a native of Illinois. Dr.
Hill has allied himself with the interests of Seattle, and takes great pride in
her natural resources and rapid development.
