A.C. Hill, Unknown dates
"Strong" Hill. The people of Glasgow were greatly shocked
Saturday, when it was announced that Mr. A. C. Hill, the well known
church and business man of town had died suddenly of heart trouble. Mr.
Hill was a native of Campbellsville, but came with his young wife to
Glasgow near 20 years ago and has since been a very active and valuable
citizen. He was deeply religious, a leader in the Methodist Church, and
always active in every moment for the uplift of the community.
"He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Annie C. Carter of
Campbellsville, and one son, Morris, about 19 years of age. He is also
survived by two brothers, Messrs. Billy Hill, formerly of this place but
now of Bowling Green, and Ed Hill, a merchant at Campbellsville.
"For the past number of years, Mr. Hill has been the Glasgow
representative of the wholesale grocery firm of J. D. Reynolds &
Co., of Horse Cave. He had previously traveled for Belknap Hardware
& Manufacturing Co., of Louisville and for a time was in the
wholesale grocery business in Glasgow.
"Mr. Hill was a man of the highest honor, and his death is a real
loss to the entire city.

"Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist Church Sunday
afternoon and the remains were then taken to Horse Cave where they were
placed on the train for shipment to Campbellsville for burial. Rev. J.
L. Piercy conducted the services both at this place and at
Campbellsville.
"Among those who accompanied the remains to their last resting
place were Bro. Piercy, Messrs. J. C. and Lyon Hutcherson, W. G.
Dougherty, J. H. Gee, J. E. Watson and Howe Ralston of this place. Mr.
and Mrs. F. J. Boles left on the early train Monday hoping to get to
Campbellsville in time, but fell in behind a wreck and got there after
the funeral.
