William (Bill) Thiel came to Canada from Germany in 1927. He worked on a farm at Stony Plain for a short while until he could afford to start his own business. A shoemaker by trade, he came to Millet in 1928 and he opened his first shoe and harness shop on the ground floor of Pinyon's Hall. In 1932, he purchased his own building that was formerly Gus Parker's butcher shop.
He and his wife, also from Germany, stayed in Millet until 1964 when they moved to Edmonton. They had four children: Walter, Henry, Margaret, and Ronald.
Mr. Thiel served as Mayor of Millet and as Millet's representative on the board of the Wetaskiwin School Division for a number of years.
