Chris was born November 8, 1921 at the family home 2 3/4 miles northeast of Bellwood to Peter and Rose (Hilger) Hiller.

Chris was a farmer and carpenter in the Bellwood area until they moved to St. Edward, NE in 1956. He continued to farm and do carpentry work there until 1985 and moved to Nelson, NE. They lived in Nelson for about 5 years where Chris worked for his son at Hiller Lumber in Nelson for a while and then worked for a farmer. In December of '89 they moved to Columbus where they lived until May 2000 when they moved to Lincoln. While living in Columbus he worked for CK Planing Mill, Quail Run Golf Course, and at Columbus High School as a janitor.

He was an avid baseball player, coach, manager, and later on just a fan. He also played softball, loved to fish, and woodworking.
