Hill was a lawyer and author. After completing his education at Ogdensburg, New York, Hill was admitted to the bar at Albany and to the court of chancery in the Empire State at Saratoga in 1839. Two years later he came to St. Louis and soon took rank among the leading practitioners at the bar of this city. He was a man of commanding appearance, impressive in manner and gifted with very superior qualifications for the profession which he had chosen. He had rare oratorical powers and a keenly analytical mind, and these, coupled with indefatigable industry, made him one of the most successful and eminent lawyers of his day and one of the most widely known practitioners at the Western bar. In 1850 he associated with himself, his brother, David W. Hill and William N. Grover of Illinois, under the firm name of Hill, Grover and Hill. This partnership was dissolved in 1858 and thereafter he devoted himself largely to the practice of land, insurance and railroad law, giving his attention mainly to cases of more than ordinary consequence and importance. He wrote and published a work entitled "Liberty and Law Under Federative Government" and two pamphlets for the purpose of impressing upon the Democratic party his views on the monetary questions which were then important political issues. He continued to publish many other pamphlets on his views of popular government. Buried October 23, 1888
