Biographical history
Richard William Pilling, 1881-1967, was born in Layton, Utah, USA, and came to Alberta with his parents in 1892 to settle near Cardston. He farmed near Spring Coulee for a number of years, later moving to Lethbridge as a real estate broker. In 1926 he moved to Calgary and drilled an oil well at Moose Dome west of Bragg Creek. He retired ca. 1957 and lived in Provo, Utah and Lethbridge. He and his first wife, Edna Galbraith Hyde, had four children, Dorah, Loran, Erva (Stephens) and Mary (Neely). In 1961 he married Leah Holt Jones.
