DEATHS

Hillman E.--Died at his residence in Peru, this county, March 17, 1880, Mr. Edmund Hillman in his 62d year.

Mr. Hillman was born in New Jersey, and while yet a small boy with his parents removed to Preble county, Ohio. In 1842 they moved to Iowa, settling near Burlington. In 1862 he was stricken with palsy from which he never recovered. In 1870 he moved to Madison county and settled at Peru, where in company with his son, J. D. Hillman, he opened a business house. A man of strict honesty who never diviated a hair's breadth in his business dealings from the strictest probity, he possessed the esteem of all who knew him. To such men death posses no terrors and so he passed away.

Like one who draws the drapery of his couch, About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Note: Burial was in the Peru cemetery.
