March 23rd 1860, and departed this life at his home near Decatur, Indiana on the morning of New Years eve. Decetnlwr 31st 1927 at 4:45 o'clock. William was the third son of a family of nine children, consisting of six sons and three daughters four brothers and two sisters having preceded him to the better world. Ono brother Sylvester Hill of Richmond, Indiana and one sister Mrs. Margaret V. Reckard of Decatur survive. Mr. Hill was twice married, the first marriage was in 1890, with Estella V. Dye of Troy. Ohio to this union one son was born. Clarence R. who preceded the father in death, several years ago. The second marriage was in 1903 with Bessie E. Higgins of Sandusky. Ohio who survives. For several years Mr. Hill was engaged in the practice of law, but a few years prior to his failing health, he engaged in the real estate business and general collections Politically Mr. Hill was a consistent Democrat and who always found working for the best interest of his party. About a year ago he became ill with a complicated ailment which terminated in dropsy. He had the care and couiisel of several physicians but to no avail, and it soon became apparent that death was inevitable, but he was very patient and hopeful all during his long illness and locking on the bright side. Mr. Hill united with the Pleasant Mills Baptist church at the age of 23 xpars, and was a believer in the merits of a never dVing Saviour On Christmas even just a week prior to his departure, he realized that the end was very near and called his wife and sister, to his bedside, and said that The Lord had done his work in him, and that he was ready to go, and he made all the arrangements for his funeral services. The church, where he wanted it held, and also the ministers that he wanted to officiate at his funeral, and also selected a few of the pall bearers and requested a few other minor details concerning his affairs. He would have loved to have been spared and be 1 estored to thealth again if it had been the Lord's will but so calmly, and so patiently he was resigned to his will, like us all he had his shortcomings and human failures but the good was in evidence, a diamond in the rough, carved' and polished by the Master Hand. He loved the beautiful hymn and often requested his callers to sing and pray, with him and during his illness his voice was heard in singing the songs of Zion, cne song he requested was 'we will never say good-bye in heaven' It seems so very hard to have to part with almost the last one that was so near and dear by the ties of nature, but we know plat his sufferings are over and he is at rest. His going was a peaceful and happy one, looking up ward he' spoke of seeing the Angel band and said that he was going home to heaven, and so sweetly ho fell asleep in Jesus, we know we shall see him in the new life. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. O. E. Miller, pastor of the Baptist church on Monday afternoon January 2nd 1928. It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country—The beyend. And yet not strange for It has grown to be the home of those cf whom I am so fond. They make it seem familiar and most dear. And so to me there is no sting in death. And so the grave has Ifta its victory, It is but cressing with abated breath and white set face, a little strip cf sea, to find the loved ones waiting on the shore, More beautiful, more precious than before. ***¥¥¥**¥¥*¥**¥ * ¥ * HOSPITAL NOTES * * « ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ John Huffman, 247 North Sixth street, has been admitted to the Adams County Memorial Hospital as a medical case.

Says Sunday Day Os Dread To Engineers Cleveland. Ohio, Jan. 28 — (UP) — Sunday is a day of dread among locomotive engineers in view of the increasing number of grade crossing, crashes on that day, Homer D. Howard veteran engineer, told the National Road Builders at their convention here. Many engineers. Howard said, refuse to work.on the Sabbath in fear that a careless motorist wiil disregard! signals and drive into the path of their engine. 4Joward advocated the law recently adopted by the Illinois legislature which makes it compulsory for motorists to bring their cars to a complete stop at all railroad crossings. "The look of horror on a motorists face as lie finds his machine stalled on ; the crossing cannot be compared with the feelings of the engineer as he sees .the imminent ciash." Howard said. “The careless driver who gets himself killed at a crossing, not only

So Original and Different that Comparisons are Impossible Frankly, The Victory has left current practice co far behind that comparisons are impossible. Conservative drivers will never really discover the car's astonishing resources. v They will delight in its pick-up and low gas needs—its comfort and streamline beauty. But the magnificent, all-dav speed of the car—its faultless smoothness over clods and cobbles—are thrills that await the adventurer! • Six powerful cylinders are six powerful reasons for this. A seventh vital reason is the basic Victory idea! For the first time in motor car history, chassis and body are a unit. Floor and seats are built in the chassis. The wide Victory chassis frame replaces the customary body sill—and eliminates the customary body overhang. The body itself has only 8 major parts! The result is 175 less pounds, 330 less parts; standard road and head clearance, yet a car that is extremely low, steady and safe—with a power plant Stripped for instant and brilliant action! And the smartest car at the price ever created! 1095 /.DOOR SEDAN. F. O. B. DETROIT Tune in for Dodge Brothers Radio Program every Thursday night, 7 to 7:30 (Central Standard Time) NBC Red Network.

I from 13.2 persons per 1,009 population in 1926 to 12.3 in 1927. This repiesented a decline in total deaths from 40,150 in 1926 to 37,509 in 1927. The stork, however, lost some ground in Indiana during 1927. There were 62,785 babies brought to Indiana by the story in 1926 and only 62.251 in 1927. One of the most encouraging aspects of the 1927 report was the remarkable decrease in the number of fatalities among children less than one year old, Dr. William F. King, secretary of the state health board pointed out. These deaths were lowered in 1927 to 3,662 from 4,535 in 1926, representing a percentage drop from 73.4 per 1,000 to 59. Heart disease with 5,517 deaths credited to it led the list of fatalities in 1927 the report showed. Apoplexy was second with 3,245 victims. Heart disease with diptheria and cancer were the only major ailments that increased during the past year according to the report. Although major diseases were curtailed considerably the growth in fatalities from accidents, murders and Attention, Middle-Aged Women! Fort Wayne, Ind.—“ Dr. Pierce’s medicines were a life saver to me at middle ®age. When 1 reached that period it seemed that I had all the ailments and distress that can come to a woman. My nerves gave way, I was so weak that some days , I was not able to be on my feet at all. I had hot flashes, dizzy spells, backache and -/ pains thru my sides. I was a complete physical wreck when 1 began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite : Prescription and ‘Golden Medical Discovery . These medicines soon ended the 1 suflering and distress and brought me I thru this critical period a strong healthy woman.” —Mrs. Ida Jackman, 421,1 Baker St. All dealers. Tablets or liquid.
