OBITUARY.
ISAAC MASON HILL
Among the early settlers in the Nelson Province were many who have since come to the front in polities and literature included in the same list were also several who have earned for themselves a good name among their fellow colonists, and a place in the heart and memory of many poor sufferers by their philanthropy and true Christian charity. In the foremost rank of these stood good old Isaac Hill. Arriving here in the ship Fifeshire in the year 1842, he was one of the little band to whom the young men and maidens of Nelson in the days gone by owed so much for the services they rendered in the establishment of the Nelson School Society, an association to which many were indebted for all the education they ever received. And from 1842 to 1885 the old man who passed away last night has spent his time in doing good. There was no parade, no ostentation in his charity - it might truly be said of him that his right hand knew not what his left was doing - but wherever there was a kindness to be done or a mourner to be comforted by a display of genuine sympathy there was Isaac Hill to be found. One instance of this. The old man somehow or other discovered that in the Lunatic Asylum there were some who were able to appreciate and enjoy a Sunday service. Thenceforth with undeviating punctuality he was in attendance every Sunday morning conducting a service, accompanied by one of his daughters who played the harmonium and led the singing, which often brought a look of pleasure and relief over the countenances of the afflicted inmates of that institution. There was some difficulty in arranging for a regular Sunday service at Suburban North. Regularly every Sunday afternoon was Isaac Hill to be seen trudging out there, regardless alike of heat, cold, or rain, to conduct a service at which there were always many attendants. And the poor and the sick and the afflicted in the town always knew where to find a true and a warm hearted friend. He has gone to his rest full of years and honor, and leaving behind him a noble record. So good a Christian, so charitable and generous a man must have been a devoted husband and a kind father, and therefore, while we would not attempt to lift the veil of privacy which shrouds the mourning family, we can, speaking in the name of the public of Nelson, assure them that their sorrow is known and largely shared in by a host of hearty sympathisers. Quiet and uuobtrusive though he was, he will be missed by a very large number of his fellow colonists both in town and country, principally, perhaps, by those who can least afford to lose a real friend. He was an earnest and sincere Christian, and in the service of his Great Master there was not a more devoted self-denying laborer than Isaac Mason Hill.
Nelson Evening Mail 2 September 1885
We have been requested by Mr White, the Superintendent of the Lunatic Asylum, to state that in consequence of the death of Mr Hill, who was in the habit of holding service on Sunday mornings, and in respect to his memory the usual weekly entertainment will not take place this evening.
Nelson Evening Mail 3 September 1885
The mortal remains of the late Mr Isaac Hill were committed to the grave this afternoon. The universal respect in which he was held was testified to by the large number of residents both in town and country who attended the funeral, the procession consisting of 25 carriages, besides a number of horsemen and pedestrians.
