Z.D. Gill

One by one the prominent citizens of our town and county are called to their 
reward.  Mr. Z.D. Gill, a life long resident of Taylor County and for the past 
several years, a resident of Butler, after a long lingering illness, peacefully 
passed away at his home Sunday afternoon, surrounded by his sorrowing family.  
His remains were carried to Bloodworth cemetery Monday afternoon and laid to 
rest beside loved ones who had gone before, the funeral services being 
conducted by Rev. M.W. Flanders, of Mauk.  Mr. Gill was born in Marion County 
October 16, 1856 and was happily married to Miss Frances Elizabeth Watson 
December 30, 1874 and by whom the following children were born: Five sons, 
Messrs. A.J., L.M., E.C., C.D. and Dewey, also five daughters, Miss Georgia 
Gill, Mrs. Belle Garrett, Mrs. Alice Jinks, Mrs. Alma Trussell, of Butler, and 
Mrs. Jewell Long of Arabi, all of whom are living except Dewey, who died at the 
age of 8.  Also two brothers, Messrs. R.T. Gill, of Richland and J.T. Gill, of 
Buena Vista.  Mr. Gill joined the Methodist church at the age of nineteen but 
afterwards connected himself with the Free Will Baptist church of which he 
remained a member until the time of his death.  He filled several important 
offices in the county, and was noted for the promptness and efficiency with 
which he executed each and all papers committed to his keeping.  And he was not 
only faithful in the discharge of his official duties, but was a sober, honest, 
upright man.  One who would not betray a trust or go back on a friend.  He was 
a good neighbor, and was exceedingly good in visiting the sick and lending a 
helping hand to those who were in distress or in need.  He was a true and loyal 
husband, and a very kind and indulgent father, one who loved his family and was 
self-sacrificing in providing for their comfort and welfare.  To each of the 
bereaved ones, the Herald extends sympathy in this, their hour of sadness.
