Death of Rev. James Gilliland. Rev. James Gilliland died about midnight last night at his home near Marylee, after about a week’s illness. He was taken down in about the same manner as Rev. S.R. Crumpton, who died in the same neighborhood yesterday afternoon, but for the past five days Mr. Gilliland had been lying as if asleep, and no effort on the part of his physicians and friends could arouse him. Monday his physician succeeded in partially arousing him from his lethargic state, but it was only for a minute or so, and he dropped back into his former conduction, and died in that condition. The burial takes place at Bethel church, of that vicinity, tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 3 o’clock. [J.H. Gilliland, 3 Jun 1856 - 25 Oct 1911; Bethel Cemetery (Old Bethel).
