OBIT:
A Pioneer Gone: Armstead C. Hill died in this city Thursday evening, May 9, 1889, aged 85 years after a lingering illness of some weeks. His funeral took place Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Baptist Church, the funeral sermon was preached by J.J. Tome, which was a short, concise, and appropriate one, pronounced in a beautiful and impressive way. Uncle Armstead Hill had been an earnest and consistent member of the Baptist Church for many years. Out of respect every business house closed, and the largest concourse of people, almost in the history of Milan, attended the funeral. The burial was under the management of the G.A.R boys, the funeral possession was headed by the cornet band who led to the cemetery playing the funeral march, "Peaceful Slumber"
A short distance northwest from Hill's Spring, in 1840, then was erected a log cabin, known as the home of Armstead C. Hill, the first settler in the vicinity of Milan. Mr. Hill first settled south of Milan about eight miles, but was not wholly contented with his location, and sought to better himself by the change, and thus became the first settler of the division.
