Gilbert Norbert Dill was born on Jan. 20, 1915, in Greenwood, to Julius and Lydia (nee Kuester) Dill. He was raised and educated in the Greenwood area.

He later went to Albert Lea, Minn., and worked in the onion fields for a few years. He then moved and settled in Granton and worked at Pioneer Container, Cedarburg, for many years. He retired in 1974, and moved to Rock Dam, where he lived until entering the Clark County Health Care Center in November 2004. He had many interests, but especially enjoyed auctions and collecting antiques.
