WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE

1867-70

Leander B. Hills

Leander B. Hills (Oct. 9, 1823 – Dec. 15, 1893) was First Lieutenant in Co. K. Tenth Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers, one of the hard fighting Regiments of this State, was for a long time on detail as Brigade Commissary, and after a long siege with typhoid fever was obliged to resign. He served as Grand Master and Grand Representative and for twenty-five years as Grand Secretary of the I. O. O. F. He was a clerk in the State Treasury four years, and chief clerk of the Senate four years. He was by profession a lawyer, and came to Wisconsin from Clinton, N. Y. in 1848, soon after this State was admitted into the Union. He was a generous and warm-hearted man and had a host of friends throughout this State whose sympathies go out to the stricken widow and the fatherless son and daughter.
