WILLIAM HILL
William Hill, the seventeen-year old
sou of Mr. John W. Hill, of this city,
was struck by a bolt of lightning last
Thursday afternoon, during the storm
that struck this city, and instantly
killed.
It seems that Mr. Deaton and boys
drove up to the home of Mr. Hill on
their way home from the mill and ask
ed permission to run their wagon of
meal and flour under the shelter in or
der to escape the approaching rain.
William Hill and his younger brother,
Julian, went out to the shelter to assist
them in getting their wagon under the
shelter. While there the bolt of light
ning came and both boys of Mr. Hill
were stricken down. Physicians were
immediately summoned. After some
time, tin* younger son was revived, hut
William could not he r&suscicatfd.
Mr. Deaton was stunned by the holt
and when he revived both his mules
were lying on the ground. However,
the mules were only shocked, and both
came around all right in a short time.
The funeral service for young Wil
liam Hill was conducted Friday from
the Methodist church of this city, Rev.
L. W. Collins conducting the exercises.
Young Hill was one of the finest
young men of this city. He was steady,
straight-forward and manly in every
iv)v. and was a fine member of the
Methodist Sunday school. His class
mates attended the burial as an hon
orary escort. He was held in tin* high
est esteem by his associates and by all
who knew him.
Besides his father and mother, he
leaves one brother and two sisters to
mourn his passing away. To these the
deepest sympathy of a large circle of
friends is extended.
