PVT Hill attended the local high school and at the time he entered the service was employed by the Barber Orchards. During his 20 month overseas service he has been able to visit several North Africa places featured in the news earlier in the war, among them were Dakar, in West Africa; Algiers; Oran; Tripoli and Casablanca.

Funeral services for Noel Hill, 42, of Waynesville who died Wednesday in a Buncombe County Hospital after a long illness, were held at 2:30 PM today in the Red Bank Baptist Church. The Reverend Ben Cook, the Reverend Hubert Bryson and the Reverend O.J. Beck and the Reverend Glenn Nations officiated and burial was in the church cemetery. He was a member of Pleasant Balsam Baptist Church and a veteran of World War II. He was a son of the late William Albert and Mary E. Clark Hill. Surviving are the widow, Louise Smathers Hill, a daughter Shirley Hill of the home, three sons, David, Stanley and Ronnie Hill all of the home. Two sisters, Mrs. Herman Burgess and Mrs. Ray Smathers both of Waynesville, six brothers, Garrett and Claude Hill of Waynesville, Reverend Millard Hill of Kannapolis, Clark Hill of Columbus, New Jersey, and Hugh A.

Noel falsified his military records in order to enlist early. He stated his birth date as September 6, 1919, and that is the date on his military grave stone. The birth date listed in Bud and Mary Elizabeth's bible is September 6, 1921, which is the date celebrated as his birth day. A birth certificate for him can not be located, however, there is a birth certificate on file in the Haywood County Court House for an unnamed male child born to William Albert and Mary Elizabeth Clark Hill on 29 Oct 1920 (could this be the correct birth date of Noel Hill?)
