The Butler Herald,
Died 09 March 1918
 
Mr Hamp  Hill Of Cedar Creek Is Dead
 
Stricken With Apoplexy and Died Suddenly About Eight
O'clock Saturday Night.

The entire lower section of Taylor and Upper part of
Schley County was saddened Sunday by the announcement of
the death of Mr H. H. Hill, who with his aged and devoted
companion lived on their farm five miles south of Rupert.
He was seemingly in better health Saturday than was usual
for him, having spent the day with one of his daughters
near by.  However, about eight o'clock Saturday night he
was stricken with apoplexy, death following almost
instantly. The end came peacefully; it was said he passed
as one falling asleep not a movement, all quiet and
serene. He had lived the life that broods no fear of
death, it was merely the transac-tion of the kindly
spirit back to the God who gave it. Mr Hill was in the
79th year of his age.  He is survived by his widow, Mrs
Susan Watson Hill, daughter of the late Dr. J. M.
Culpepper, a well known citizen of the county and for
many years a re-sident of Butler.  He leaves also the
following children:  Mrs J. M. White, Mrs C. O. White, Mr
G. C. HIll of this county, J. A. Hill of Waycross, R. E.
Hill of Ellaville, W. D. and J. E. Hill of Meigs.  Mr P.
Z. Hill is a brother and Mrs J. W. Brewer of this county
is a sister of the deceased. Having been married five
times four of Mr Hill's wives preceded him to the grave. 
His first marriage was to a Miss Murray, second, a Miss
Moulton, third, a Miss Thompson, fourth a Miss Floyd and
Mrs Susan Watson, who survives. Interment was at
Prosperity Church and cemetery Sunday afternoon, funeral
services being conducted by Elder T. D. Roberts, pastor
of the Church.  A large number of sorrowing friends and
re-latives of the decease met to pay a last loving
tribute.
