The Topeka Daily State Journal, Tuesday, October 21, 1919
Aged Topekan Dies.
Mrs. Phy Tillotson Came to Kansas at End of Civil War.

Mrs. Phy TILLOTSON, 85 years old, died this morning at her home, 635 Fillmore
street. Mrs. Tillotson had been in Topeka since 1880, moving here from Oskaloosa
in that year. She came to Kansas in 1866 from Covington, Ind. She was the mother
of the late D.C. Tillotson. She is survived by one son, Lauren S. Tillotson, of
Topeka and by her three grandchildren, Capt. Luther C. Tollotson, and Misses
Helen and Margaret Tollotson, all of Topeka.
Mrs. Tillotson started for Kansas with her husband, Luther Tillotson, before the
beginning of the Civil war. They had gotten as far as Iowa, when the war began
and the husband enlisted. Mrs. Tillotson saw two Captain Tillotsons return from
the wars--her husband came back from the Civil war a captain and her grandson
came back from the world war with the same rank.
The funeral services will be held at 9:30 o'clock Thursday morning from the
home, 331 Fillmore street. Burial will be in Oskaloosa cemetery.
