HEART ATTACK IS QUICKLY FATAL; WAS 68 YEARS OLD
Died in Manner That He Preferred
The life of Emil Hill, a prominent resident of Garrett, ended suddenly Friday night, when he was found dead in bed by his wife, Mrs. Pauline Hill, at their home, 711 South Walsh street.
Mr. Hill was past sixty-eight years of age, having been born March 9, 1856. Considering his age and the fact that he had worked hard all of of his life, he was apparently in good health. At times he became very tired after a day's work on his farm and complained of pains in his chest, but by resting he had always recuperated and continued his work as usual.
Mr. Hill assisted his son, William, in harvesting wheat on his farm Friday and afterward did some chores. When he went into the house he remarked that he was tired and he went to bed immediately. His wrists were sore from handling shocks of wheat and his daughter rubbed them with alcohol. He remained in bed to eat his supper.
At about 9:30 he told Mrs. Hill that he wanted to go to sleep. She turned out the light and went to a nearby room to sleep on a couch. Half an hour later she felt cold and returned to the other room to get a cover. When she turned on the light she spoke to her husband, asking him how he was feeling. He did not answer and she noticed that one eye was not entirely shut. She shook him and was shocked to discover that he was dead. However, his body was still warm and it was evident that he had died only a few minutes before. Dr. John W. Thomson was called. but Mr. Hill was beyond medical aid. Coroner H. A. Hinklin held an inquest and determined that death wars due to heart disease.
In dying in this manner, Mr. Hill was granted a wish that he had often expressed to members of his family.
The birthplace of Mr. Hill was Breslau, province of Silesia, Germany. When he was a lad of fourteen he went into Russia. which was near his home, and spent four years as a brick mason's apprentice. He then entered the German army and served seven years, becoming a non-commissioned officer.
He was married forty-three years ago to Pauline Strauh. Their first child, Amelia, died at the age of three months. Their second, now Mrs. Claude N. McCully of South Britton street, Garrett, also was born in Germany.
Mr. Hill and his family emigrated to the United States in 1883 and moved to Garrett after residing at Detroit and Butler for brief periods. Eight children were born in this country. One of them, Margaret, died twenty-five years ago at the age of two and a half years.
Those surviving are William, at home; Mrs. Herbert Reinert of Detroit; Harry, at home; Mrs. J. Ralph Miller of South Randolph street, Garrett; Mrs. Homer Johnston of Fort Wayne; Mrs. Clem Vanderbosch. whose home is on Walsh street just opposite that of her parents; and Miss Lucille Hill, at home. There are nine grandchildren. Surviving also are a brother, Julius Hill, of Fort Wayne, and three sisters, Mrs. Louise Kaiser of Detroit, and two in Germany.
Mr. Hill entered the contracting business after moving to Garrett and he built a large number of brick business structures. These include the Garrett city water and light plant and the new Baltimore & Ohio round house. He was the builder and owned at the time of his death three buildings on Randolph street in Garrett. One is occupied by the C. H. Heinzerling hardware, another by the Gingery department store and the other by the pool room owned by Charles E. Carlin, Jr.
Mr. Hill was a stockholder and director of the Garrett State bank for eighteen years. He also served as a member of the Garrett city council and he was a member of the I. O. O. F. He served as captain of the Garrett I. O. O. F. canton many years ago and he also was captain of a company of former German soldiers living in Garrett , who maintained a social organization for a number of years.
Funeral services will be held at the late home on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. D. H. Guild, pastor of the Garrett Methodist church, will officiate. Burial will be made in the mausoleum in Calvary cemetery.
