DEATH OF MRS. H. B. HUKILL
END COMES THIS AFTERNOON AFTER YEARS OF ILLNESS
Carthage Woman, 74, is Survived by Daughters - Funeral Friday Afternoon
Mrs. Hattie Belle Hukill, resident of Carthage for 35 years, died at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon at her home, 607 East Macon street.
She had been in failing health for 16 years, suffering from heart trouble, and in May, 1921 was stricken with apoplexy. She recovered partially, and was able to be up and around most of the time. Eight weeks ago today she suddenly became seriously ill, losing the power of speech, and her condition has been critical since that time. She regained consciousness after several weeks of coma, and retained it until her death, although she was not able to speak again. Since Saturday night it has been evident to those caring for her that she was dying.
Mrs. Hukill would have been 75 years old next week. She was born July 10, 1850 at Sweetwater, Menard county, Ilinois. She attended a girls seminary at Decatur, Illinois. On March 6, 1867 she was married at Sweetwater to John Hukill and they went to live at Lincoln, Illinois and there their three daughters were born.
In 1883 the Hukills came to Missouri, locating at Greenfield. Six and one-half years later, in April 1899 they moved to Carthage, and since 1892 their home has been the house on East Macon street where Mrs. Hukill died.
Her husband died in 1907, and a daughter, Kate, died five years before, in 1902. Surviving Mrs. Hukill are two daughters, Miss May and Miss Lou both living at the Hukill home. Miss May Hukill has for a number of years been librarian at the Carthage High School. Mrs. Hukill was the youngest of a family of 12 children, of whom one brother, Abner E. Engle, of Sioux City, IA., survives.
He is about 85 years old and will not be able to attend his sister's funeral.
Mrs. Hukill united with the Christian church at the age of 11 years and at her marriage became a member of the Presbyterian church. Until her health failed, she had been active in affairs of the Main Street Presbyterian church here. Her fine character and loyalty are commended by her friends.
One of Mrs. Hukill's treasured possessions was a Brunswick phonograph and records which was the gift of friends. She had expressed a desire that the records be played while she was dying, and this wish was granted, the music and the thoughtfulness of her friends being a comfort to the last.
Funeral services will be conducted at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon from the Main Street Presbyterian church.
Three minister will have charge. The Rev. Elbert Hefner of Clarksville, AR., former pastor here and friend of the family, will be asked to come; and the Rev. Dr. J. F. King, district superintendent of the M. E. Church, and the Rev. Dr. George F. Harbour, present pastor of the Main Street Presbyterian church, will take part in the services. Burial will be in the family lot in Park Cemetery, where the husband and daughter are buried.
