Notes
a. Note:   Obituary -- Vevay Reveille ? May, 1904 Mrs. Abigail Tilley Dead
 Mrs. Abigail Lamson Tilley, widow of the late William Tilley and one
 of the pioneers of the county, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sam
 Andres, near Brooksburg, on Monday evening, May 23rd, at ten o'clock. She had for some months past been a sufferer from rheumatism, but grew
 suddenly worse on Sunday morning and was unconscious most of the time
 until her death.
 She was born Jan. 18, 1821, and had long passed the allotted time of
 the human race, but it was evident to them that knew her that her light which had shone for 83 years was the result of a beautiful Christian
 faith. Many years ago she united with the Christian church under the
 pastorate of the Rev. Chas. Lanham, an uncle of the present pastor of the
 Vevay church, and continued in her labors until age with its infirmities
 compelled her to cease her labors. Early in the 40's she was united in
 marriage to Wm. Tilley to whom were born eight children, five of whom are
 still living to mourn the loss of a dear mother: namely, Edward, John and
 Wallace, of this city, Mrs. Opha Andres, of near Brooksburg, and with
 whom she made her home until her demise, and Mrs. Irene Stoops, of New
 Mexico. Preceding her to the Eternal City are her husband, and three
 daughters: Alpha, wife of Thomas Heath, Lulu, wife of Frank Seiglitz, a
 former resident of this county, and Eliza, who died in infancy.
 The funeral services were held at the home of her son Edward, on
 Market Street at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. Another pioneer gone to join
 the hosts that have gone before, but her memory and example will always
 be cherished by those who knew her. Her remains were laid beside her departed loved ones in the Vevay Cemetery.
 The bereaved family have the sympathy and condolence of the entire
 community.
