"MRS. ISAAC HILL OF CARTHAGE IS DEAD
EXPIRES AT THE HOME OF HER DAUGHTER IN CONNERSVILLE AT THE AGE OF 83 YEARS
FUNERAL TO BE HELD SUNDAY
"Mrs. Isaac Hill, age eighty-three years, of Carthage, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. J. Porter, in Connersville Friday afternoon at Three-thirty o'clock and the body was removed to the home of the deceased's grand daughter, Mrs. E. D. Lewis, in Carthage, yesterday evening.
Mrs. Hill has been in failing health for several years. Last December she suffered a light stroke and her decline after that was more rapid. Mrs. Hill went to Connersville last Marc for a visit and her condition grew so serious that she was not able to return home.
Mrs. Hill was born at Salem, Ind., moved to Carthage when 19 years of age and lived there the remainder of her life. Her husband died on Thanksgiving day in 1916 and in October of the same year Mr. and Mrs. Hill celebrated their sixty-first wedding anniversary.
In addition to one daughter, she was survived by two brothers, John and Frank Winslow of Kansas, and seven grandchildren, Mrs. Leonard Clark and Lowell Henley of this city, Mrs. Lewis, Jean Porter of Connersville, Jay Watkins of Reading, Pa., Garr Watkins of Akron, O., and Carl Watkins of Bellefontaine, O. The funeral will be held at the Carthage M. E. church Sunday afternoon at three o'clock conducted by Dr. McFall of Connersville, and interment will take place in Riverside cemetery near Carthage."
