when the time came she was quite i'll |
and it was regretfully omitted.
/ 1t is somewhat difficult to sum up
briefly the characteristics of such a.
life as Mrs. Tillotson led in this place
4 for these forty years. First and fore
most, she was Christian and an ac-
tive force in the church to which she
4 pledged her allegiance in early life.
From the first she was d teacher in
the Sunday school, for ten years It's
superintendent and at the time of her
death was still treasurer Of its mis-
sionary funds. She was q charter
raember Of the Wonlan's Foreign Mis-
: sicnary society, at one time it's prrsi-
bert mad for many years it's secretary,
holding the latter Office to the end.
She was also an &C i've meriber of the.
) Ftme Missionary society and l.adies'
) Aid society and as long as health pel-
mitted most regular attendant upon
: al the services If the church an1 al
/ wayc most generous contributor to
it3 support and benevolences.
J, Mrs. Tillotson was vitaily interested
I in all that concerned the life of the
v community--a charter member If the
G,snge, and its chaplain at the time
d Of her death, also chaplain of the Po-
n mona Grange, helpful friend and
n lneighbor, quick to respond to the call

h but the ready hand of service, even
ie after failing health would have ex-
p cused her.
y Her gift Of expression brought he1
i work of another kind and her pen was
1t always at the command of others. Fol-
