Dale Heber Hillyer, son of Heber and Ethel (nee Bishop) Hillyer, was born June 18, 1917 on the family farm in Mills County, north of Imogene, IA. He graduated from Strahan High School in 1934. He farmed in Mills County for several years and then moved to Manson, IA where he operated a gas station and then had the Star Mail Route from Manson to Laurens, IA.

He entered the U.S. Navy in 1944 and worked in the Fleet Post Office in San Francisco. He was honorably discharged in 1945. The family moved to Webster City in 1947 where he began farming on the Gilmore family farm. He farmed until 1978 when he and his wife moved into Webster City. His wife, Geraldine, passed away in 1992. On January 22, 1994, Dale married Shirley Mitchell. They shared an interest of traveling abroad and within the U.S. Dale's love of the land brought him many years of happiness. Even after moving to town, he continued to help his son-in-law with the harvest each fall until 2010. After learning to fly in 1941, Dale was an avid pilot. He enjoyed many take-offs and landings from his own landing strip on his farm. Dale took pride in the fact that he gave many friends and relatives their first airplane ride. He was active in the Webster City Civil Air Patrol, the International Flying Farmers and served on the Webster City Airport Commission.

Dale was a member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ of which he served on many boards and committees. During his 52 years of membership in the Rotary Club, he served as president and 40 years as secretary-treasurer. Dale was a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow. He belonged to the American Legion and The Birthday Club. He also once sang in the 1000 Voice Naval Choir, the Webster City Men's Chorus under the direction of Polly Buell, the Ft.
