Obituary
We regret to record the death of Mr. George Arthur
Hills, licensee of the Wheatsheaf Inn, Bridge Street, Folkestone, which
occurred at his residence on Monday, after several months` illness.
Mr. Hills, who was 64 years of age, had been the
licence holder of the Wheatsheaf Inn nearly 24 years, and was a member of the
Folkestone Branch of the Licensed Victuallers` Association, so that his death
removes a familiar figure from the neighbourhood. Before that he was for many
years foreman bricklayer in the employ of the late Mr. William Smith, of
Folkestone. Since he took over the Wheatsheaf, Mr. Hills was asked by Mr. Smith
to help with the plans and in other ways with the construction of the houses in
Dawson Road, which he did. Mr. Hills was also connected with charitable work in
the town, being a member of the Brotherhood of Cheerful Sparrows, and helping
in various directions, as well as at the annual fete. He was a great friend of
the late Mr. Alderman Forsyth.
With members of the family the sincerest sympathy is
felt in their sad bereavement.
The funeral took place yesterday (Thursday) at the
Folkestone Cemetery at Hawkinge.
