In homestead settlement Bilić, SAMUILO MAŠIREVIĆ was born, the man who after the studies of theology entered a monastic order, and in 1853 became the bezdin archimandrite (about which his friend Jovan Sterija Popović printed the ode in Budim), and in 1853 he was elected the episcope of Banat in Temišvar. At the Synod on 20 July 1864, he became the patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church. As the patriarch he brought the new system in which the Metropolitan seat at Karlovci was run until 1930s; nevertheless, in his time from it separated Orthodox Rumanians from Erdelj and Banat, who had joined it the century before, in order to avoid mass unification. He died on 20 January 1870 in Sremski Karlovci.

According to the decision of the Town’s people’s board, The Public Utility Service “VODOKANAL” was founded, so that water-supply would keep pace with time. The water carriers of Sombor, born with the appearance of artesian wells and as famous as the hackney-coaches because songs were sung about ones as well as about the others, could not withstand that. Since then the water supply system covered the whole town, and also, every our settlement has its own water supply.
