ECCF joins the Hill family in mourning the loss of Dr. Eldon Hill, who passed away on April 26, 2023, at the age of 102. During his long life, he improved countless lives both through his compassion as a doctor of obstetrics and gynecology and his generosity as a donor. 

Among his many other achievements, Dr. Hill established two Funds at ECCF to increase educational opportunities in Loyal, WI, where he was born and raised. The Draper Hills Scholarship Fund supports the post-secondary educations of students who graduate from Loyal High School, and the Draper Hills Financial Literacy Endowment supports a Financial Literacy program for Loyal students in grades K-12. 

You can read Dr. Eldon Hill's obituary to learn more about his remarkable life.

Funeral services will be held at the Lutheran Cemetery in Loyal, Wisconsin on August 7, 2023.  A Veterans ceremony and brief service will celebrate Eldon’s life and his sustaining gift to the Loyal educational community.

Memorials in Dr. Hill's honor can be directed to the Draper Hills Scholarship Fund or the Draper Hills Financial Literacy Endowment. Click below to donate online, or mail a check made out to ECCF/Draper Hills Scholarship and/or Financial Literacy to:
