Norfolk Landmark May 15, 1890
                     BODY RECOVERED.
Mr. Benjamin Franklin Hill, formerly of this city and a well-known tinner, who had 
lived and worked at Newport's News for some years, mysteriously disappeared from 
there last Tuesday night. Grave fears were entertained concerning his whereabouts 
and his body was found floating at Newport's News yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. 
After an inquest had been held, which returned a verdict of accidental drowning, 
the body was brought up to the city by his personal friend and the finder, Mr. 
James Scott, for interment. The funeral will take place at 12 o'clock today from 
the residence of his father and brothers, 480 Church street.
