Gay Elijah Hills died November 19, 1911, at his home in Keene, N. H. He was born in Swanzey, N. H., September 5, 1882, being son and only child of Calvin E. and Annie (Gay) Hills. His preparation for college was obtained at the high school of Keene, N. H. After graduation he entered upon a course of study in Yale Forestry School, in the class of '06. Before the completion of his course he developed an illness which later proved of tubercular origin. He left the Forestry School, and after somewhat regaining his health entered the employ of the Trumbull Electric Company of Plainville, Conn. But his illness later recurred more seriously, and in 1907 he gave up business completely and went to Maple Lodge Sanatorium at Rutland, Mass., where he remained steadily for over a year. Since that time he has spent several months each year at Maple Lodge, but returned home last spring, and remained there. He lost strength all summer, and early in November took to his bed. The disease was then pronounced to be tubercular meningitis. When the serious condition was fully realized, he was married, and lived thirty-six hours after the ceremony. His wife was Daisy Kathleen, daughter of Walter A. and Kate (Crowan) Dawson of New York City.
