*Obituary
B.W. Hill, 74 years old, for 36 years a resident of Wheeler county, died at his farm home east of Wheeler on December 23, and funeral was held at the Wheeler Methodist church on last Thursday, with Rev. Virgil Lolar of Lela officiating, assisted by Rev. E.C. Raney.

Surviving are his wife and three sons, James, Harrel and Burl Hill, all of Wheeler.

After two or three years in the county, Mr. Hill settled in the Pleasant Hill community when he was married to Miss Mamie Anderson. Thirty years of the Hills' wedded life were spent in one house which they built on their farm in the early 1900's. Two of their sons were born there.

Heart disease was the cause of Mr. Hill's death. Burial was in Wheeler cemetery, under direction of Hunt Funeral home.
