Funeral Service Sunday Afternoon at Central Christian Church
John William Hill, 70 years old, a life-long resident of the Central community west of Fulton, died at 2:35 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home in west Fulton. He had been seriously ill for two weeks and had been bedfast since October.
A funeral service will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at Central Christian Church, three miles west of Fulton, probably by the Rev. Eagan Herndon of Centralia, and burial will be in Central cemetery.
Mr. Hill was a son of James and Elisabeth Hill, pioneer residents of Callaway county. He was born on a farm in the Central community on June 9, 1865, and farmed in that community nearly all of his life. He moved to Fulton eight years ago.
He was first married to Mrs. Maggie McClellan, who preceded him in death. He was later married to Miss Lena Sims of Callaway, who survives. To the first union were born six children, four of whom survive. They are: Edward Hill, Newton Square, Pa.; Tom Hill, Staunton, Ill.; Mrs. Nonie (Jack) Bullard and Mrs. Guy Thomas, Fulton. By the second union, one child was born, Mrs. Lewis Plybon, Fulton. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Inez Gosling, Centralia.
Mr. Hill was a member of Central Christian Church. His passing brings sincere regret to a wide circle of friends.

Notes	J. W. Hill Miss Maggie E. McClelland 13 Feb 1890 F360 J. W. Hill Miss Lena Sims 25 Aug 1915 J286 Mrs. Roy McIntire of Fulton, Missouri, gave the information for his death certificate. Confusing bit of information, in John's obituary, it gives a surviving son named Tom. There is no record of this son on any census. He is not on 1900, he would have been born after 1900 but before 1904. He is not on 1910. Maggie's obituary says she leaves 6 children, a son named Tom would make the 6th child. The only reason I can think of why a child is not on the census from a very young age is that something was medically wrong with him and he was sent away to a home or school somewhere else. He is mentioned in several relatives obits, so I am sure he died exist, he never did live at home. Another "very" odd fact is that on the 1910 census, Maggie is listed as wife. Maggie died in 1904. I have a photo of her headstone, and I have a copy of her obituary. I am sure this is the correct family on both census years. Why they would have listed Maggie after she died 6 years before is very strange. 1900; Census Place: Fulton, Callaway, Missouri; Roll: T623 844; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 24.

I have her obituary, I have a picture of her headstone. The obit has a misprint in her husband's name, giving only initials and has a C instead of a J. Her headstone does say wife of J.W.
