The community was given a poignant shock today when it became known that J. E. Dill, senior member of the Dill-Huston-Wenger real estate agency, pioneer of that line in this city, and one of Grand Island's most public spirited men, had suddenly passed away. Death came early today after a comparatively very brief illness of a heart and kidney complication. He came to Grand Island in 1879 when only about 16 years of age. Service became his motto at once (Omitted here is a tribute to his dedication to meeting his business and personal goals.)
James E. Dill was born at Wilmington, Delaware, on Nov. 3rd, 1862. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Dill came to Grand Island and at once took up farming. They had four children - Sallie E., now Mrs. Charles E. Ford, James Elmer, Robert J., and J. Frank Dill. Mrs. Ford, the oldest of the four, is the only one surviving. The deceased was educated in the public schools at Delaware. Soon after his arrival in this city her found employment as a clerk in a grocery store and continued this work for six years, gaining a valuable business experience in the meantime and fortifying himself for independent business enterprise. He then became associated with Samuel C. Huston, in the confectionary business. After four years of successful endeavor in this line, the two ambitious young men established themselves in the real estate business, under the name of Dill & Huston - an effective business alliance which has continued ever since and - the many friends of both these pioneers in that line will be pleased to know - is to continue through their sons. (Omitted here is a detail of the naming of the firm and some details of its workings)...Mr. Dill played a fine cooperative part in locating two of the city's most recent fine acquirements - the United States Monitor station and ...
In 1888?, he was united in wedlock to Miss Jessie C. Gardener, a native of Ohio. The union aside from being attended by an exceptional and happy devotion each to the other, was blessed with two children, Lucy A., the wife of Charles D. Hustead, of Lincoln, and Helen, the wife of Robert S. Wenger. There are five grandchildren. Definity funeral arrangements are not as yet made owing to the fact that word is being awaited from the family of the surviving sister, Mrs. Ford, of Greeley, Colo.
