The Waynesburg messenger.: (Waynesburg, Greene County, Pa.) November 27, 1861
(From the Springfield, Ill. Register) DEATH OF HEATON HILL, ESQ.
This gallant young soldier, a corporal in Captain Burnap's company of the 1st
Illinois cavalry, died at St. Louis on Monday, the 14th day of October last. He was
with his company in the bloody affair at Lexington, Missouri, and was wounded
severely in one of his thighs, and was brought to St. Louis, where he died of his
wounds. Mr. Hill was one of our most estimable citizens, a carpenter by trade, who
came here from Pennsylvania, some ten years ago, and during that period, earned a
high character for probity, industry and business habits. He was among the first to
enlist in his country's cause, and the general voice of his comrades is, that he was
a true man and sturdy soldier. His remains were brought home yesterday, (the 15th,)
and were met at the depot by some fifty of his company companions, with a large
number of other citizens, and escorted to the residence of his friend, Goyn Sutton,
Esq. The funeral will take place to-day from the Methodist church. The Odd Fellows
lodges of the city, of which order the deceased was a member, and the members of
Captain Burnap's cavalry, in the city, will be in attendance, to pay the last
funeral honors to a worthy citizen, a true patriot and a gallant soldier, who gave
up his life in defense of his country. Mr. Hill was in his 30th year, and has no
relations in this city.
[The subject of the above notice was a son of Mrs. Hannah Hill, of Jefferson, Greene
county, Pa. He was born and raised in Greene county.—Ed. Pass.]
