Other out of town relatives who were here to attend the funeral were: Mr. & Mrs. Sam Cutbirth, Sr. of Reagan County, C.S. Boyles and family of Cross Plains. There were many friends and neighbors present to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased.
The following old friends acted as pallbearers: Judge Otis Bowyer, L.M. Hadley, Willie James, J.Y. Gilliland, J.I. McWhorter, and L.L. Blackburn. The funeral was in charge of H. Schwartz. Funeral services were conducted by Dr. Jno. Collier at the Methodist Church and at the cemetery. Dr. Collier made a good talk, as he always does.
Cliff Hill was a good man and a good citizen, successful in his chosen life work, farming and stock raising, and owned one of the best farms in the county.
We extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives."
