Bio

Newsclipping 1916 John Allen Hileman was born in Audubon county, Iowa Sept 9, 1884 and died at his home north of Grand River, July 2, 1916 aged 31 years, 9mo and 21 days. He was left without the care of his mother when he was 3 years old and for two years lived with his grandparents, A.A. Burchett and wife, at the end of which time, his father having again married, Johnie was taken into his father's care and remained with him until his 15th year when he again came to make his home with his grandparents. He later went to Nebraska where he married to Mertie Antonia Hohman on Oct 7, 1905. To this union four children were born, Arba, Verona, Emma and Antonia. Verona and Antonia having preceded their father to the Great Beyond. Johnie as he was familiarly called by his friends and acquaintances was a hard working strictly earnest man. He was never too busy to lend a hand to a neighbor or friend in need. Many times has the writer seen his eyes fill with tears of sympathy when he knew of someone in sorrow. He died in peace with his master whom he always reverenced, as he expressed himself before the end. He leaves a sorrowing wife, two children and an innumerable host of friends to mourn his death. Funeral services were conducted from the Camden Baptist Church, July 3rd, by Rev E.C. Vanderpool, one of his early schoolmates, who paid a beautiful tribute to their friendship. Many and beautiful were the floral offerings which gave testimony of the esteem in which he was held. The remains were laid to rest in the Wheelis Cem, close by the mother whom he never remembered and by the dis of his baby daughter, to await the Great Resurrection. The wife and mother has the sympathy of the entire community in this great bereavement.
