Death of Mrs. Cora Hillman

Mrs. Cora Hillman, a former resident of this county, and an old time resident of Lorimor, died at her home Sunday, at the age of 82 years. Mrs. Hillman was a sister of Mrs. G. N. Skinner of this place. Mrs. Skinner was called to Lorimor ten days ago, when her sister had a stroke of paralysis. She recovered from this stroke and had another one, which caused her death.

Eastern Star funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon and burial was made in the Lorimor cemetery.

Mrs. Hillman came to Madison county 56 years ago as the wife of J. D. Hillman. They moved to Lorimor 34 years ago, when the town was first started.
