Will H. Hill Society Circus


Mr. Hill had a complete Circus Revue that usually included a pair of small elephants. The last two "Tulsa" and "Wanda" were sold to King Amusements in 1961. "Wanda" may still be with Circus Gatti.
I never met Mr. Hill but feel as tho I had since Smokey's story of him and Cotton being sent to the laundry is a circus classic.

Bobby Gibbs was working Wanda when I first met him in the spring of 1965. Bobby was working for King's Amusements who would have several rides and a small animal show in K-Mart parking lots. I recall Wanda as an adult then, she must be getting up in years.

WILL HILL WAS A HANDSOME GUY, WELL DRESSED AND QUITE DANDY. THEY TELL THAT WOMEN APPROACHED WILL'S TRAILER AND THE GAZOONIE WORKING FOR WILL WAS SITTING OUTSIDE AND HE ADVISED THE WOMAN THAT WILL AND HIS WIFE WERE IN THE TRAILER AT WHICH TIME THE LADY REPLIED "THE HELL HE IS. I'M HIS WIFE".
