Sat. Nov. 7, 1857   North Carolina Argus.
        DEATH OF WILLIAM HILL
   WILLIAM HILL, who so faithfully filled the office of Secretary of State for 
North Carolina for 46 years, is no more. He died at his residence in the City 
of Raleigh, on Thurday, the 20th ult., at an advanced age of 84 years.
   MR. HILL was a native of Stokes County in this State. In 1795, he went to 
Raleigh and served in the capacity of clerk to JAMES GLASCOW. On the death of 
JAMES WHITE, who succeeded JAMES GLASCOW in his official position, which 
occurred in October 1811, MR. HILL was elected Secretary of State, and filled 
that responsible position from that time until his death. WILLIAM HILL has 
passed to this rest -- having through his long and useful life enjoyed the 
confidence and respect -- and carrying with him, in his death, the regrets of 
the whole people irrespective of party,  of his native State.
