Tilton - The sudden death of Obadiah Tilton occurred Oct. 24, and was simply announced in our last issue. Mr. Tilton was born in Orangeville, Jan. 27, 1817. June 2, 1841, he married Lois Stone, eldest daughter of Reuben Stone, late of Orangeville. Soon after their marriage they removed to Indiana, where they resided five years. Except for this interval Mr. Tilton's entire life was spent in Orangeville, and since his settlement here, on one section of land. A well cultivated farm and commodious and valuable farm buildings attest his thorough efficiency as a business man. Without inherited wealth, his persevering industry, unquestioned integrity and genuine good sense, early gained him a competency. Mr. Tilton held many places of trust and responsibility. As a public officer he served with credit and ability, securing the entire approval of those he represented. Ever at the front in temperance work, faithfully trying to raise the unfortunate and fallen, he was ever ready to aid with money, time and influence, this great work. Though nearly seventy years old, his untiring energy made him appear much younger. His life was characterized by industry and integrity. He was a regular attendant of religous services and contributed liberally to all benevolent purposes. An esteemed citizen, a loyal friend, a kind husband and father, and a worthy man has been taken from among us.
