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.
