THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 12-23-1927
GATTIE E. HOWELL HILL

   After a lingering illness of several months, the soul of Mrs. Gattie E. 
Hill of Como, N.C., took its flight to her God. A consistent member of 
Buckhorn Baptist Church from her girlhood, she was true, loyal and devoted 
to her church until the last. A host of friends can testify to her worth in 
this community. She carried out the Scripture as recorded by James, “I will 
show thee my faith by my works.” Truly she demonstrated her faith by her 
activities in every Christian endeavor, visiting the sick, and ministering 
to their wants in all walks of life. For years whenever any of her neighbors 
were in distress due to sickness, Mrs. Hill was the one they desired to 
assist around the beside of their loved ones.
   She had almost lived out her three score and ten years when the summons 
came to release her spirit from her pain-stricken body. She was laid to rest 
in the cemetery of old Buckhorn Church, the funeral being conducted by her 
Pastor, Rev. J.L. Price, assisted by one of her former pastor, Rev. L.E. 
Daily. Tributes by them were appropriate and beautiful. A large concourse of 
people was present to show their appreciation of her life.
   The body bearers were: Ferrell and William Hill, her grandsons; Thomas 
Bowles, Jarvis Howell, J.L. Lassiter, and D.B. Taylor. She has left to mourn 
their loss four sons, G.C., R.O. and W.J. Hill of Como, and Robert Hill of 
Andrews, S.C., and three daughters, Mrs. D.B. Taylor, Mrs. J.L. Lassiter of 
Como, and Mrs. James Waldron of Coward, S.C., besides many relatives and 
friends.
