"Funeral Services For George Hiller Thursday Afternoon

Rev. Roland B. Scriven, pastor of the First Christian Church, will have charge of funeral services to be held at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the First Baptist Church, for Rev. George W. Hiller, retired Christian minister. The body will lie in state at the Huffman Funeral Home until funeral time.

Rev. Hiller, who celebrated his 86th birthday with members of his family about him on January 13th, died Monday night at Holden Hospital. Born near Carbondale in 1860, he spent his entire life within 10 miles of his birthplace. He served as a minister in the Christian church for more than half a century, giving up the work only when failing strength and health made retirement necessary.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Mrs. Ellen Hiller, who passed away 11 years ago. Since that time he has made his home with a daughter, Mrs. Guy E. Long, in Carbondale. One son, Elmer Hiller, also preceded his father in death.

Eight children survive. They are: Arthur, Frank and Ernest, of Carbondale and Makanda; Mrs. Fred C. Cave of Oxford, Kansas; Mrs. G. W. Allen of Du Quoin, Mrs. Roscoe Bevis of Houston, Texas, Lawrence Hiller of Chicago, and Mrs. Guy E. Long of Carbondale. Three step daughters and a step-son also survive. They are Mrs. Gertrude Hiller, Mrs. T. W. Heidinger and Mrs. R. H. Lewis, all of Carbondale, and Gilbert Etherton of Makanda. Besides these, thee are 16 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.

A sister and three brothers surviving are Mrs. Lizzie Ahl of Carbondale, Louis Hiller of Royalton, Harrison Hiller of Zeigler and Henry Hiller of Sullivan, Mo.

Since repairs being made in the deceased's home church make it impossible to hold services there, funeral rites will be held at the First Baptist Church. Interment will be in Oakland Cemetery."
