Taylor County News, April 30, 1936
        MR. C. C. HILL  KILLED INSTANTLY AUTO SMASh-UP

Mr. Bob Thornton, Hill's Companion At Time Of Accident, Painfully Though Not 
Thought To Be Serously Injured.

  Mr. Clyde C. Hill, of Reynolds, met tragic death early Monday night when his 
car failed to take a curve and smashed into an embankment at the approach to 
the city limits east of Knoxville, the county seat of Crawford County.  Mr. 
Robert Thornton, son of Mr. J. H. Thornton, of near Reynolds, riding in the car 
with Mr. Hill, was severely hurt, his injuries are not considered serious, it 
is said.  He was carried to Reynolds where he received medical attention and 
removed to his home in Panhandle district.  Mr. Hill and Mr. Thornton were 
returning from a short business trip to Macon when the accident occurred, it is 
learned.
  The remains of Mr. Hill were carried to funeral parlors at Macon where they 
were prepared for burial.  Later the body was removed to Reynolds for funeral 
and interment in Hill Crest cemetery Wednesday afternoon, funeral services 
being conducted by Rev. H. O. Fowler , of Manchester, assisted by Rev. J. N. 
Shell.  Those acting as pallbearers were:  Messrs E. W. Hodges, D. P. Montford, 
Harry Powell, H. C. Whatley, J. C. Newsome and O. R. Lucas.
  Mr. Hill, who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Hill, both deceased, was born 
in Reynolds where he lived for many years.  Circumstances brought about a 
number of business changes and locations to Mr. Hill in the interim of his 
young manhood in Reynolds where his was regarded as one of the brightest minds 
and be one of the shrewdest, young business men of his day, and his latter 
years in the same city as proprietor of a lunch room.
  One of the finest attributes in the life of Mr. Hill was his love for his 
friends.  Truly no man ever had a more loyal or truer friend than those who 
were fortunate to claim him as a friend.
  Mr. Hill is survived by his wife, the former Miss Ida Jake Ruffin, together 
with their two sons, Messers  C. C. Jr., and Ruffin Hill, and one daughter, 
Miss Christine Hill.
  Others surviving near relatives include three brothers, Mr. Bernice Hill, of 
Blakely; Elbert Hill, of Macon, and Edwin Hill of Reynolds; and sister, Mrs. 
Willis Saunders of Reynolds; a half-sister, Mrs. Ricks Carson, of Reynolds, and 
a step-mother, Mrs. James Hill of Reynolds.
