HERB HILLMAN DEPARTS THIS LIFE.
~~~~
Herbert Hillman, a resident of this vicinity for over thirty years, died Thursday of last week at the Thos. Foran home north of Kingsley.

“Herb,” as he was familiarly known to his many friends, had not been in the best of health for several years, and about six weeks ago he contracted the flu, from which he was confined to the house for a couple of weeks.

He had recovered sufficiently to be out and had so gained in strength that he decided he was able to to again go to work. He hired to Mr. Foran for the season, and had gone there where he worked for several days, when owing to the condition of his system, which had been weakened by his recent illness, he contracted pneumonia Wednesday of last week and the disease became so serious that he passed away Thursday evening.

James Herbert Hillman was born in Victor, Iowa, where he resided until he was about thirty-five years of age, when he came to this vicinity and made his home until his death on Thursday, May 2, 1924, aged 65 years, 2 months and 25 days.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Kingsley Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. J. F. Hutchinson, pastor of the church, after which the remains were interred in the Kingsley cemetery.

The deceased never married. He leaves to mourn his loss three brothers, J. S. Hillman, of Belaire, Kan., David Hillman, of Belle Plaine, Ia., and J. S. Hillman, of Corsica, S.D.

He was not a member of any church, but attended the Methodist church occasionally. He was a quiet, unassuming man who never sought to harm any man and was of good character and habits. Goodness wherever found will not be lost.

“He, who from zone to zone
Guides through the boundless sky
thy certain flight—
In the long journey I must go alone
Will guide my steps aright."
