Mr. William H. Hildreth died on Sunday evening, September 27, 1931, at his home of long years standing on South Green Street in Wadesboro, NC. Mr. Hildreth was active and industrious until he suffered a stroke in 1927. This was followed later by a second stroke, which incapacitated him for any form of active work. In spite of this, he always did what he could at his home. Mr. Hildreth was born on February 17, 1872, near Bethel United Methodist Church, where his parents are now buried. He was the son of Thomas and Ellen James Hildreth. Mr. Hildreth was married on April 9, 1893 to Mary Katherine McQuage. Mr. Hildreth was survived by his devoted wife Mary Kate and four children: Mr. William F. Hildreth (Ruby) of Winston-Salem; George M. Hildreth (Mary) of Roanoke, Va; Mrs. J. W. Fisher of Lumberton and Mrs. J. O. Wingate of Wadesboro. Mrs. Wingate has seldom lived apart from her parents and her only child, Margaret has been the sunshine of their lives. Mr. Hildreth was long affiliated with Bethel Methodist Church in Wadesboro. The family wishes to thank the Reverend W. B. Davis, who was in charge of the burial service at the home on Monday afternoon. Many kind friends and relatives were in attendance. W. H. Carter, Frank Covington, W. B. Rose, Marvin Hendley, Hal Little and Henry Gray served as pallbearers. The interment followed on the eastern slope of our beautiful Eastview Cemetery, where his grave was covered with a profusion of autumn flowers, lavish in their color and design.
