Circuit Clerk Hiller Gilfoy Dies Thursday Morning
After a long illness of pneumonia, the great and good man Hiller Gilfoy, died at his home Thursday morning at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Gilfoy is 33 years old, having been born at Woodland in 1881. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Gilfoy. A few years ago he was happily married to Miss Corinza Davis, a most estimable and refined young lady, only one child blessed this home of ideal happiness.
For the past year Mr. Gilfoy had gone thru a siege of plaster casts, sun baths and leather jackets and up to a few short weeks ago everybody thought he was well on the road to a complete recovery. He was gaining flesh and was able to get about better and better every day. All the doctors thought he would soon be able to take up his regular duties in the office of Circuit Clerk, the position he worked so hard and faithful to get by the popular vote of the people. During the campaign last summer he made one of the most remarkable races for a sick man ever recorded in Chickasaw history. Over five or six strong opponent he won the honor in the second primary. It looks hard to think that after fighting month after month for his health and then winning a county honor, and then be stricken right in the beginning of his duty. But the Master who knoweth best said come and the Christian spirit went happily into the Great Beyond.
If he had a real enemy we don't know it, for he lived the gentle-man--the clean man--the good man--the faithful man. A devoted husband and father he always loved to make his home the ideal as laid down in the great Book of Books. Friends and relatives by the hundreds mourn his death and the shock will be felt for many, many days. His body was interred in the Woodland Cemetery Friday Jan. 14th at 1:30 o'clock.
The Hummer, with sincere thought, sympathizes with the sorrowing family for they have lost a father and husband who loved them and we have lost a friend.
