At the age of fourteen years was apprenticed to his brother Isaac and worked in the office of the Patriot and in the bookstore until he attained his majority. In the meantime he attended the public schools of Concord and was student one year, 1823, at the Literary Scientific and Military Academy at Norwich, VT. In 1829, Isaac Hill having been appointed Comptroller of the Treasury, Horatio Hill and Col. Cyrus Barton purchased the Patriot and the bookstore and conducted the business under the firm of Horatio Hill & Co. until 1834. In 1837 Mr Hill removed to New York and during the following six years he was connected with the publishing house of D Appleton & Co., and subsequently was engaged in the book trade in that city until the close of the year 1849. The ensuing five years cover a residence in California and in Fitchburg, where he is remembered as a deputy sheriff. During the past thirty years Mr Hill has resided in Chicago.
