Hilt - Amanda Shultz

AMANDA SHULTZ HILT

Source: Lafayette Daily Courier Monday, August 11, 1913

The intense heat of yesterday was the cause of the death of Mrs. Rose Hilt, wife of Peter Hilt, who died at 6:55 o'clock this morning at St. Elizabeth hospital. During the hot spell in July Mrs. Hilt was overcome by the heat and she never fully recovered from the attack. The family lived on a farm four miles northeast of the city, and Mrs. Hilt a short time ago came to the home of her father-in-law, John Hilt, 1016 Roberts street, to recuperate. Yesterday afternoon she took a walk out in the hot sun, and shortly after she returned home in the evening she suffered a hemorrhage of the brain. Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning she was taken in the city ambulance to the hospital, but nothing could be done to save her life. Mrs. Hilt was thirty-three years old and leaves a husband and three children. She was an estimable woman and her death was a particularly sad one. The remains were prepared for burial at the Folckemer parlors and were later taken to the home of John Hilt on Roberts street to await interment.
