mother. Also twoidopted children, S.
W. Farmer, of Thjjute, and Mrs, Ger
trude Mong, of Fairport, Olff. Mr. Hill
was a man of more than or Jmary ability
and from his youth was grAtly interest
ed in the problems which concerned the
prosperity of the nation. It is not sur
prising then that while he had been mar
ried for fourteen years and had a family
dependent upon him, and a borne that
was exceptionally pleasant, ho respond
ed to the call of the President and en
listed on August 11, 1802, in Company
U, Slird Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun
teers, and with his loyal and patriotio
soul stirred with tho conditions of the
time, made a most brave and faithful
soldier, participating in the battles of
Fredericksburg, Chnncellorsville and the
Wilderness, in this last battle his right
hand was shattered by a rebel bullet and
on account of this wound he was honor
ably discharged after two and one-half
years of service. In his military life he
sustained the proud record of the Hill
family, his father having been a soldier
in the War of 1812 and faithfully served
the Government during that struggle,
lie was a charter member of Captain
Geo. Stow Post, No. 274, of the G. A. R.
serving as its commander for many years.
After he returned home he worked for
some time at his trade, that of a black
smith, and in 1SU0 joined the tide that
was sweeping toward the western states
and for the next seven years was a resi
dent of Lodi, Wisconsin. The memories
of the old aud familiar scenes in Pennsyl
vania made him dissatisfied with the
west, and with his family he returned to
this vicinity and purchased the farm
formerly owned by his father-in-law, now
the property of the County, and continu
ed to reside there until about seventeen
years ago when he disposed of it and
purchased a home in Tionesta. While
living on the farm he filled with great
acceptability a number of local offices in
the township and in 1881 was elected an
Associate Judge of the county. While
filling this position he had the oppor
tunity of emphasizing the temperance
principles which he had espoused years
before, and no license was granted by
his voice while he was on the bench. In
his home life he was an ideal husband
and father, and the children who mourn
his death, can not fail to be comforted
by the precious memories of his kindness
to each and all. He was a man of re
fined sensibilities, the coarse and impure
word had no place in his vocabulary, and
his soul was often filled with righteous
indignation at the estimate of life held
by too muny, lie had the privilege ol
being raised in a christian homo, his
father, Frederick Hill, being a devoted
member of tho Frco Will Baptist Church
and one of his brothers was a minister
in that denomination. In 1849, Rev.
Smith, a clergyman of that faith, was
holding a meeting in Hast Hickory, and
Mr. Hill was converted and united with
that church, but afterwards withdrew
from that organization. A few years
later he united with the Methodist Epis
copal church and since 1878 has been an
ollicial in the sumo. For many years he
held an exhorters license and held meet
ings in several places with pleasure and
profit to his hearers. Ho was loyal to
the church of his choice and the pastor
could always rely upon his presence and
support, ho was especially gifted in pray
er and those who knew him best will al
ways remember with satisfaction tho
petitions he offered in the public congre
gation. At the time of his death he was
filling the position of Court Crier, having -been
appointed to this office scvcrul
years ago. For the past seven years he
has not been in good health, but with
the exception of an occasional attack
of accute kidney trouble, he baa
been ablo to be on the street almost
every day and when he was taken sick
last V ednesday it was hoped that lie
would soon rally and be ablo to attend
to bis duties, but he steadily failed and
on Monday morning his spirit left his
weary body ns gently as the dow rises
from the petals of the June rose. Besido
his widow and children he is survived
by one brother, Gcorgo T., of Ostrandcr,
Washington, fourteen grand-children
and eleven grentgrand-childreu. Funer
al services will bo held at his late homo
this Wednesday at 2 p. m., with inter
