Eldon Luther Hill, known to most as “El”, passed away peacefully at the age of 95, in Dallas with his daughter Jane at his side, Monday morning, April 21st following a very brief illness. He was born on the river ten miles north of Palacios, Texas, on May 13, 1918, to Donie Ellis and Luther Orr Hill and welcomed by his older sister, Margaret, who would forever be known to him lovingly as “Sis”. In addition to his sister and daughter, other survivors include his grandchildren, Joshua Hill Bell, Colin Alexander Cook and Caton Kathleen Cook, all of Dallas. Eldon grew up on the family farm and as a teen rode his horse each day to his uncle’s store where he would catch the bus to high school. Upon graduation in 1936, he attended Southwest Texas Teachers College at San Marcus and graduated in 1939. He then went to work for future President Lyndon Baines Johnson, teaching shop to boys in the National Youth Administration in Houston, Texas. Although he was exempt from enlistment, he entered military service in March, 1941, and served in the Army-Air Force. While assigned to Shepherd Field, Wichita Falls, he met his future bride, Mary Ann Alexander, the lovely secretary in the Colonel’s office. They were wed December 1, 1942, in Seymour, Texas, the bride’s home. Eldon was immediately assigned overseas duty and served in the Pacific until beyond the end of the war. He was honorably discharged in February, 1947 at Lackland Air Force Base. El and Mary Ann would welcome their daughter Jane Ann on February 21, 1947, in Dallas, Texas, and eventually make their home in Austin. He would remain for the rest of his years a devoted husband and father. This meant staying by Mary Ann’s side throughout her 16 year struggle with Alzheimer’s, which ended her life in 1994. He was, until his dying breath, devoted to his beloved daughter and grandchildren. El became a partner with his brother-in-law, Bud Smith, in Austin Chemical Company which served businesses throughout the central Texas area. An active member of the community, he belonged to the North Austin Exchange Club and was a longstanding member of the Tarrytown Methodist Church. He was a Mason and a Shriner for over 50 years and worked to help raise funds for their many charities, including Scottish Rite Hospitals; his membership was active at the time of his death. By donating his body to medical science, even in death he found a way to help his fellow man. It is his remarkable life that we celebrate and his absence that we mourn so deeply. Memorials may be made to Scottish Rite Hospital, Alzheimers Association, or an organization of your choice.
