HILL

death a few days ago at his home in Atlanta, of typhoid fever. Mr. Hill,
during his residence in Corinth of several years, was connected with the
office of W.H. Nance & Co., as bookkeeper. Everyone liked Frank
Hill for his many excellent traits of character. Gentle and kind, open
hearted and free, a gentleman at all times, a friend that could be
depended upon, he will be missed from the busy walks of life and above all
from the home of a christian mother whose life was devoted to her beloved
son’s welfare.
