Hill Dies Suddenly Carbondale, Ill., May 20 James S. HILL, aged 66 years, died at his home on East Freeman street, about 10:30 Monday evening, following a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Hill, who was janitor at the Lincoln School, left his home earlier in the evening to attend a meeting of the Lincoln School Parents-Teachers Association. A half hour or so later the family heard a noise like hard breathing and on investigation found Mr. Hill in the yard where he had probably fallen off the porch. He was unconscious and remained so until he passed away. Mr. Hill was born in Saline county, March 26, 1864. Forty-five years ago he was married to Miss Luverba C. LAND, also of Saline county. To this union were born eight children, four of whom survive, Mrs. Earl YOUNG of Carbondale, Everett and Cressie HILL of Gary, Ind., and Bert HILL at home. Two grand children and one great grand daughter, Mary Evelyn, also survive. The deceased had been a resident of this city about thirty-five years and for the past several years had been janitor at the Lincoln school. He was a member of the Grace Methodist church and the Odd Fellows and Modern Woodman lodges. The funeral will be held at Grace M. E. church at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and Woodman lodges. Rev. W. D. SIMMONS, pastor of Grace church, and Rev. C. L. COLEMAN of Lawrenceville, a former pastor of the church, will officiate. Burial at Snider cemetery. Additional Comments: Transcribed by Mary Riseling from her grandfather C. E.
