Death Reaches Out Across Dark River Two Well Known Citizens of County Seat Are Summoned During Week Grier Hile, Hotel Man Known Throughout Western Pennsylvania, Dies at Home of Son, Ward Hile, in Spangler, after Short Illness Ebensburg people were greatly shocked Wednesday night to learn of the sudden death of Grier Hile, one of the most popular hotelmen of the county, who passed away at 6:30 o’clock at the home of his son, Ward Hile, at Spangler. His death followed a comparatively short illness due to appendicitis and complications. The deceased was taken ill about three weeks ago and last Sunday was removed from here to the home of his son where he underwent an operation at the hands of Spangler and Barnesboro physicians. He rallied a short time after the ordeal but his condition was so critical that his death was expected at any moment. He was aged 54 years. The deceased was a native of Lumber City, Pa., where his mother, Mrs. Martha Ann Hile, still resides. His father, John T. Hile, died some years ago. Grier Hile remained at Lumber City until he was 21 years of age. At that time he entered the lumber camps being located in various parts of the state for a period of ten years. For the next six years he was engaged in the mercantile business, after which he became a hotelman, conducting hostelries in various parts of the county. He was located at various periods at Windber, Mahaffey, Ebensburg and other places. For the past six years he was the head clerk of the Metropolitan Hotel of Ebensburg. Grier Hile and Miss Martha Kate Haney were married in 1872. Mrs. Hile survives her husband with three sons as follows: Ward of Spangler, the assistant cashier of the Barnesboro National Bank; Curtis of Patton; and Ferguson of Johnstown. The deceased is also survived by his mother, four brothers, four sisters and six grandchildren. The remains will be moved to Lumber City Saturday morning for interment Sunday. Short services will be held at the Hile home at Spangler this evening.
