 The friends of Samuel B. Hill, a we'll known resident of Fair Haven, were shocked yesterday to hear of his sudden death, which occurred early Sunday morn ing in the chapel tent at the Life and Ad- vent campmeeting now in session at Tyler vile, this state. The cause of his sudden demise was an apoplectic stroke, and the summons came just at the close of the morning prayer and conference meeting, throwing a sadness and gloom over the entire assemblage. Sunday evening funeral service was held when Elder William N. Pile of Brooklyn, who had known the deceased about fifteen years, and H. B. Brown of East Hompton. Conn, formerly of Fair Haven and an acquaint- ance and friend of MT. Hill for over twen- ty-fve years) made addresses reciting their as a man of the highest integrity in private and public life and as Christian of fixed and unflinehing principle. Dr. Charles 0. Barker of Meriden offered a fervent and touching prayer and the choir sang hymns appropriate to the occasion.
 MT. Hill was 8 man widely and we'll known both in this city and surrounding towns. For many years he held the office of tax collector for the town of East Haven and though thousands of dollars had pass ed into his hands no word of suspicion or charge of malfeasance was ever breathed against him. MT. Hills wife died last May at an advanced age. His own age was eighty-six. He leaves one son, Eugene 0. Hill of Fair Haven, ex-superintendent of the East Pearl street M. E. church Sunday school MT. Hills body was carefully cared for by the people with whom he was worshipping, ,and, in charge of Undertaken Watkins of Manchester, was forwarded to his friends in Fair Haven yesterday fore noon. The time of the funeral will be an- nounced later.
