Tillinghast, died at an early hour on the morning of the 10th inst., after a very brief illness. Short funeral services were held at the Tillinghast home the following day, conducted by Rev. P. Butler of the Presbyterian church, and the body, accompanied by the son, was taken to East Greenwich, R.I., for interment beside his wife, who preceded him to the great beyond many years ago. Deceased was in his 93rd year, and was Crescent City's most aged citizen, and one who, despite his advanced age, gave the impression of one having several more years of life. For many years he had made his home with his son, and came with the family to Crescent City some six weeks ago, here to spend his remaining days, whether they were to be few or many. He was delighted with the balmy Florida air and the beauty of the trees and flowers and birds, and to every one he met he expressed his delight. He was such a cheerful old man, and possessed as he was of all his faculties, it was hard to believe that he had already reached such an advanced age. He took long walks and in his admiration for the laden fruit trees and new and strange semi-tropical scenes it is thought that he went beyond his strength, and that the little touch of illness, from which a younger person would have quickly recovered, proved too much for his strength, a strength which he and others would naturally overestimate. Father Tillinghast was one of the most delightful characters that ever settled in Crescent City, and there is deep grief in the home and sorrow throughout the town over his going. His best eulogy is the record of his years, a record that only a few, chosen by a Divine providence, are permitted to make. Requiescat in pace. (Palatka News Obituary dtd Friday, 19 Nov 1909.)
