Lockridge Herald
Lockridge, Jefferson Co, IA
Friday, February 18, 1916
OBITUARY
Mrs. Nellie Hill died last Friday morning at 4:30 o'clock at the
Jefferson County Memorial Hospital where she had been taken last Tuesday
suffering from an attack of pneumonia.
The death of Mrs. Hill is particularly sad from the fact that she leaves
three children, a daughter Esther sixteen years old, a son Hubert six years
old and a daughter Mabel four years old. Mr. Hill preceded her in death
several years ago.
SEEK HOME FOR ORPHAN CHILDREN
Who has a place in their home for a little boy of six or a little girl
of four, or both?
There are doubtless many in Jefferson county who have considered the
though of giving a home to some little one who is homeless, and now the
opportunity presents itself forcibly.
Little Mabel and Hubert Hill are left by the death of their mother with
no one to care for them but the county and state. Unless a home can be found
for them here they must be taken to the Orphan's Home at Des Moines.
Little saddened hearts of four and six need more sympathy and love than
can possibly be theirs in any institution. Isn't there a home and happiness
for them somewhere in Jefferson county?
Any one who is interested in seeing these children with a view to
adoption may call on Mrs. Marshal Chilcott, overseer of the poor.
