Hill, the husband of the deceased died April 21, 1877. He was one of the oldest settlers in this part of the county known as Malinta Station. Sister Hill experienced the pardon of her sins in the fourteenth year of her age and united with the M. E. Church in which she lived and remained a consistent member until noar the time of her second marriage. She then united with the Disciple Church, as her husband was a minister in said church. Mother Hill was a constant reader of the Bible and a close adherent to the truth therein taught. The writer visited grandmother Hill quite frequently during her last illness and at her own request I administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to her and quite a number of her associates in church fellowship. She passed away without a struggle and her spirit now rests sweetly in the paradise of God. She leaves three daughters, one son, nine grand children and a host of friends, to mourn their loss but her gain. Peace to her ashes. Rev. D. W. D.
