Death of a Christian Woman

The funeral of the late Mrs. John M. Hill occurred Monday afternoon at the 
residence, 181 Ivy Street, and was largely attended by loving friends who will 
ever fondly cherish the memory of this kind and true woman.  After a long and 
painful illness she died Sunday morning at 11:45, and many hearts were touched 
by the sad announcement made at the morning service at the First Baptist 
church.  The interment was at Oakland cemetery, and the services were conducted 
by Dr. Hawthorne, who spoke beautifully of the many noble deeds of this 
estimable woman, and invoked God’s blessing on the grief-stricken husband.  
Mrs. Hill was prominently connected with the charitable institutions of the 
city and was tenderly loved by the inmates of the Baptist home, who attended 
the services in a body and mingled words of love with their fragrant flowers.  
The sorrow and sympathy of her Sunday school class who had lost a teacher and 
companion, was expressed in beautiful words, and their loving hands covered the 
grave of their friend with the most fragrant flowers, and, after asking a 
silent blessing, they left her to the care of Him “who doeth all things well.”  
The following, her nephews, acted as pallbearers:  Henry Smith, Tucker Smith, 
John Branner, Henry Robinson, R. L Robinson, and E. H. Carroll, and the lives 
of these young men will ever be influenced by the sweet smile and cheerful word 
of one who, when living, always took the greatest interest in their welfare.
