Death of Mrs. William w. Hill.
"No one hears the door that opens,
When they pass beyond recall;
Soft as loosened leaves of roses.
One by one our loved ones fall. "
Sunday afternoon at mo O'Clock,
April 21, 1912, after painful i'll
ness Of several weeks, there passed
away by death one of Plymouth IS
oldest and most respected citizens,
in the person of Mrs. W. w. Hill
wife of our old and esteemed fel-
low citizen, w. w. Hill. Her maid
en- name was Miss Joanna Anger
man. She was born in Allen Saxony,
Germany, February 21, 1910, and
with her parents came to America
about 1850 where they located in
the later "5O's" in Plymouth.
where, on January 6, 1857, she and
William w. Hill were married, and
had remained residents here up to
the time of her death, period of
over fftyfve years. Here four chill
dren were born to them, two hav-
ing died in infancy, Fred W.
Hill, and Anna Hill-Buck, wife of
Mr.. Herbert Buck, both of whom
were with their mother during her
long sickness and death.
In the social relations of life she
was a general favorite among all
who knew her. For many years
she had been a devoted member Of
the Plymouth Presbyterian church,
and was one of the original men,
bers and organizers of the Maxim
kuckee Lakeview Club organized In
1870, composed of eight families,
residents Of Plymouth, all OF whom
but her late husband and two fami-

tiOns with the members of the club
during the summer seasons for more
than thirty years, spent at the lake,
she was full of life and vigor, and
by her pleasant and genial ways
contributed largely in making the
associations of the members the
sweetest memories of life.
81 will not say-I cannot say
That she is dead-she is just away.
With CHEEKY smile and a wave of
the hand,
She wandered away to an unknown
land,
Leaving us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since she fingers
there
