      Death of Judge C. W. Hill. 

  Judge Chandler Woodward Hill died at his home at Drewerysvllle [sic; 
Drewryville], Southampton county, Va., at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. 
Judge Hill was one of the best known members of the bar, having served 
thirteen years as Judge of the Hustings Court for the city of Portsmouth 
and eight years as Circuit Court judge, and during all those years held 
a high position in the estimation of all with whom he came in contact. 
After leaving the bench he moved from Norfolk, where he had resided for 
some years, to Southampton county, where he bought a farm, intending to 
make a home for his family, but last December he was taken ill and since 
that time has been a great sufferer from stomach trouble.  Judge Hill 
was a brave soldier in the war and has always lived an upright Christian 
life.  He was fifty-four years of age, and leaves a widow and several 
sons to mourn their loss.  The remains will be brought here this morning 
and carried to the residence of his brother, Mr. John T. Hill, No. 221 
North street, from which the funeral will take place this afternoon at 5 
o'clock.
