Obituary

We regret to record the death which took place on Tuesday of Mrs. Jane Hills, wife of Mr. George Arthur Hills, of the Wheatsheaf Inn, Bridge Street, Folkestone. She was 56 years of age, and had been in ill health for a considerable time. She came to Folkestone shortly after her marriage over 30 years ago, and had been in business with her husband at the Wheatsheaf for 20 years.

Mrs. Hills was widely known locally and held in the highest esteem by those who came into contact with her. A very wide circle of friends will mourn her passing. Mrs. Hills was a very keen and enthusiastic worker for the Cheerful Sparrows. She leaves a widower, four sons and two daughters, to whom sincere sympathy is expressed in their sad bereavement.

The funeral takes place at the Hawkinge Cemetery today (Friday) at 2.30 p.m.
