HILL, LELAND G.
(10 Mar 1921, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Last Wednesday night, shortly after the issue of the Headlight had been
printed, word was received in this city of the death of Leland G. Hill, at
a hospital in Oklahoma City.
The remains were brought to this city that night, and funeral services
were held from the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Hill, one
mile west of this city, on Friday afternoon, with interment at the
Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
Mr. Hill had been a resident of this city for many years, and was for a
number of years in the employ of the Rock Island railroad.  When America
entered the world war, he volunteered, and went with the corps of
engineers, being among the first to reach France, and serving until among
the last.
He came home in poor health, and although for a time seeming to regain
somewhat his former sturdiness, yet a cancer shortly developed which
sapped his life blood, the end coming as above mentioned.
Mr. Hill was a young man 36 years of age, and highly respected by the
people of Sayre, and especially by the railroad men among whom he had
worked.
