Dill, Harry Palmer
Harry Palmer Dill (July 11, 1845 - June 14, 1921) was a cartographer, publisher, and civil servant based in Phillips, Maine. His only known works are the 1876 pocket map 'The Lakes of Franklin and Oxford Counties, Maine' and a corresponding, undated photographic collection, Stereoscopic views of Rangeley and Richardson Lakes, the Sandy River and Vicinity. As a youngster, he appears to have attended the Maine Wesleyan Seminary in Kents Hill and then the Westbrook Seminary in Portland. He thereafter received training as a civil engineer and produced the works just mentioned, before joining the U.S. government's consular services, being posted in various places in Canada over a thirty-year career. Following his retirement from the consular service, he lived with his daughter and her husband in Lewiston.
