YOUNG LIBERTY MOTHER IS DEAD

Mrs. Fred G. Hill Passed Away Monday Morning at Rochester, After Two Years of Suffering.

Mrs. Fred G. Hill, late of Liberty township, just north of Little Cedar, passed away Monday morning at the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn. A couple of years ago Mrs. Hill became afflicted with the dreaded tuberculosis and has suffered much pain and misery since that time.

Every effort was made to cure her and much of the time she was away receiving treatment at sanitariums, but to no avail. Becoming much worse a few weeks ago, she was taken to Rochester, where a minor operation was performed to afford her some relief.

Mrs. Hill was the daughter of the well-known Rev. T.O. McMinn, a former Baptist pastor of the Little Cedar-David charge. She leaves her husband and a little son, nearly 5 years old.
