October 29, 1908, at age 29, Fred and his family set sail from Breman, Germany on the SS Chemnitz and arrived in the US at Baltimore, Maryland on November 12, 1908. They remainned aboard and continued their voyage to the port of Galveston, Texas, which they reached on November 20, 1908. Fred's brother George Hill, Jr with his wife and three sons, also arrived on this ship.
Their final destination was Marion County, Kansas, where their father George Hill, Sr had already immigrated in 1907.
One of Fred's first jobs was working for the railroad in Kansas.
