Hundreds attended the funeral of Henry Wesley Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Hill, pioneer residents of Eliasville, who died at the sanitarium in Fort Worth. Many came from long distances for the funeral. The Eliasville Lodge #610, I.O.O.F., of which the deceased was a member had full charge of the funeral arrangements both at the home and the cemetery. In their lodge regalia, 246 lodge brothers marched in the funeral procession from the home to the cemetery. The ceremony was impressive, Rev. W.B. Gilleland, pastor of the Methodist church and chaplain of the local lodge of Odd Fellows, delivered the message at the home and the cemetery. Many visiting Odd Fellows were in attendance at the funeral - Dillard Davis is district grand deputy at Breckenridge and John Bower, District grand deputy at Graham. There were many lodge members from Graham and Newcastle attending the funeral.
Survivors: wife; infant son - Henry Wesley Hill, Jr; parents; brothers, sisters.
