He was a shareholder in Parkside Tramway, the Port Pire North Land Company, a tin mine in the Northern Territory etc. William Hill married one of the daughters of John Dunn the flour miller of Mt Barker. William Hill became partner in Dunn Milling Company with his father-in-law as the main shareholder. The Dunn Milling Company had flourmills across South Australia in the late 19th century. During his life William Hill was a successful wheat and grain agent in his own right as well as his work with Dunn Milling. He had three daughters and no sons. His wife died at Glenara in 1912. The property remained in the possession of William Hill’s descendants until the 1990s.
