Funeral services were held at the residence of his son March 24 at 4 p.m.

had been very faithful in care of him, and especially during his last
illness, her strength seemed to be unlimited.  He was a devoted Christian,

Mr. Hill was united in marriage to Miss Asenth Boswell in Illinois in
1864.  To this union were born seven children, all of whom are living,

and Homer.
The wife of the deceased, with her two grandsons, and Dr. E. E. will go
home with Mrs. Ramsey for a while.  On their return, she will continue to
make her home with Arthur A., that she may assist in the care of his two
boys.
