Fair Hill â Baseball Hall of Famer, Victor Gazaway Willis was born on April 12, 1876 to Joseph T. and Mary A. Willis in the Iron Hill Station settlement of Cecil County. At some point during his early childhood, the family moved to nearby Newark where his father Joseph was a prominent carpenter and building contractor. He built several structures in the Newark area, including buildings for Delaware College (now U of D) and was well known in the community.
Growing up, Willis received his education from the prestigious Newark Academy, which was known for educating many famous men during its time, and itself has some Cecil County ties. Willis played many sports throughout high school, but baseball seemed to be where he found his true talent.
