Cobb County Times August 1, 1918
KENNESAW

Mr Edward Y HILL was accidently killed Friday morning at his home here by a
gasoline engine, being caught in some way in the belting.  The funeral was held
Saturday afternoon at the Methodist church, of which he was a member, by Revs
DIMON, McCOLLUM and BOND.  He belonged to the Shriners and Masonic order, which
had charge of the remains.  Many beautiful flowers covered the grave, being sent
by friends and relatives and the fraternities of which he was a member.  Mr HILL
was highly respected in this community, in which he was born and raised.  He was
the second son of John and Elvira HILL and was in his 56th year.  Kennesaw has
lost one of its best citizens and Cobb county has lost an upright, honorable
man.  We will all miss Ed HILL in this community, in the lodges, in the church
and Sunday school, but his good example will live on earth and his sainted soul
in heaven.  He is survived by his wife, two brothers, Messrs A G and B H HILL,
and one sister, Mrs Jack LUNSFORD of Acworth, who have the sympathy of the
entire community.
