letter from j. M. Jenkins, public adj
ministrator at Marion, H., asking for
information regarding one Hank Nc
Gill, or Hank Gill. The man lost his
life In fire in Marion recently. A
gasoline tank exploded and threw the
burning fluid over him, igniting his
clothing, and burning his body SO Sc
verely that the man died.
In his personal papers Is a receipt
from John NJ Wilson as secretary of
the Keokuk Masonic Building associa-
ton. The receipt is burned somewhat
as the man is believed to have had,
the paper in his pockets at the time.
The man was little known here,
having been employed in clearing out
the debris from the old Masonic
temple at Fourth and Main streets
after it was burned, two years ago.
Further than that little is known OF
him.
Mr.. jenkins has written Mr. Will
son thinking perhaps the man was q.
member of the Masonic order, and
that the receipt which Mr. Wilson had
given him was for lodge money. He
is asking that any one who knows
anything about the man furnish any
data possible.
In his letter to Mr.. Wilson, Mr..
Jenkins said that the dead man was
little known in Marion, and that he
seemed to he OF a nomadic disposi-
ton, and seizaG' with wanderlust. He
did odd jobs in Marion until he met
his tragic end.
