Description	:	The Dille brothers were Cyrus, Amos, Abraham, and Samuel. Cyrus came to the township in November, 1830, and bought land on which Mt. Victory was to be founded.

Abraham moved here in 1834 and stayed for the rest of his life which ended in 1883. Amos arrived here in 1884 but only stayed for a short time. In 1849 Cyrus Dille died and his eldest son, Ezra, had a town laid out on his father's estate two years later. (Ezra Dille founded Mt. Victory on August 23, 1851.) The land was to be sold at an administrator's sale and Samuel McCullough, who had just laid out the village of Ridgeway, made an attempt to buy the land at the public sale and turn it into a pasture, thus preventing the formation of a competing village. Ezra Dille, however, succeeded in purchasing the property and on his return home was asked by Thomas McCall who had bought the land. When informed that Ezra had been able to procure it, Mr. McCall exclaimed "Victory, Victory--We shall name the town MOUNT VICTORY!" Thomas McCall was 'Uncle Tommy' to those who knew him and he is credited with naming the Village of Mt. Victory.
