He first saw the light of this beautiful world July 12th, 1869. He fell asleep May 26th, 1911. His days were 41 years, 10 months and 14 days.. He was married to Miss Ella Barnes " about 15 years. His wife and five child ren survive him, and fondly and af fpctionatelv cherish his memjory. He was a kind husband and father; an indhstrious and much respected citszen. For the good of humanity and for the general welfare he be came a master mason of Solid Rock Lodge, No. 177, F. & A. A. Masons, in November, 1906. He was loyal to the Rnlpcs and Regulations of the VllV .m.v-' - Craft, and left a gilt-edge masonic policy for his widow, worth $300. We loved him inexpressably. It seems that everybody,. as it were, spoke well of Willie Hill. We teel sorely bereaved because he left us so soon. But, on , reflection, we see that we would not be any rnore willing to loose him next year, nor the next, than now. So we yield to the inevitable present.
