IN MEMORIAM
On Friday morning, February 17, this community was
shocked at the sad news of the death of our fellow
citizen Elbert Hill.  Having been in poor health for
a few weeks, only a few of his friends, outside his
immediate family, suspected that death was so near. 
Mr. Hill was about sixty years of age; was married
in the year 1859, and leaves a wife and two children
and a host of friends to morn the loss.  He joined
the Methodist Church in 1870;  was made a Mason in
1861, and since that time has been a consistant
member of the church as well as a devoted Mason.
But few men of a more generous nature, have we ever
known;  warm hearted and charitable to all with whom
he came in contact.  We render his family our
deepest sympathy in this hour of great sorrow and
distress;  feeling that their loss is his gain,
knowing that death is God's messenger to transplant
him from physical to spiritual home, to open to him
the glory of the New Jerusalem and to introduce him
into the society of the blessed, there to dwell
forever.----------a friend.
