B.L. HILDERBRAND DEAD
A Respected and Well-to-do Citizen Receives a Sudden Summons
B. L. Hilderbrand died at his home at Trafton last Saturday, April 4, 1896 at 11:40 a.m., of inflamation of the liver, after an illness of about a week's duration. He was sick three-four days before calling a physician. During this time he suffered greatly, and as a consequence complications set in which made his recovery impossible. Dr. J.E. Phelps was sent for and rendered such assistance as he could, but the death angel was hovering near and soon claimed its victim.
The internment took place on the following Sunday at 2 o'clock p.m. at the Arlington cemetery, the burial services being conducted by Rev. C. S. McKinley. The deceased was carefully nursed during his sickness, and given a christian burial after his death by his neighbors, as he has no relative in this state. His brother in Idaho was telegraphed but no answer was received.
B. L. Hildebrand was born in Missouri about 48 years ago (His exact age not known). While yet a young man he went to California with his brother, and he lived in California, and Oregon until he came to Stanwood about 15 years ago. It has been about 11 years since he took up claim at Trafton, and he has since resided there. Mr. Hildebrand was in comfortable circumstances, his wealth being estimated from $12,000 to $25,000. He has a brother and sister living in California, both of whom are married and well-to-do. He also has a brother living in Idaho as above mentioned but his parents are both dead.
It is expected that some of his relatives will soon arrive to look after his property. It is not known if he had made a will, but when asked by J. W. Morris if desired to make such an instrument he said his business was all straightened up. Over a thousand dollars worth of notes were found in his house. These together with other valuables have been taken care of by friends.
