GILL DIES VERY SUDDENLY The many Hood River friends of J.H. Gill, for many years a resident of the Heights, were deeply grieved and shocked last Thursday when news arrived here of his death early that morning at Sheridan, where for several months he and Mrs. Gill have been making their home with their son, Charles Gill. The shock was all the more felt because Mr. Gill had just arrived home after a visit here. While in the city he called on friends and commenced on the good health that had been his in the Sheridan district. While he had been seriously ill when living here, the Yamhill climate seemed to agree with him. News of Mr. Gill’s death came in a telegram to W.H. Taft, Mrs. Gill’s brother, who hastened at once to Sheridan. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Portland crematorium. Other surviving children are Verne Gill, of Bellingham, and Miss Edith Gill, a veteran United States Army nurse. The following were in Portland for the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. John A. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Peffer, Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Taft and F.M. Slavens. This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family.
