Daughter of Edgar Josiah Tilton and Sarah Jane Tombaugh.
Go your way to the land of the Ancestors,
where they wait for you with open arms, there on the edge between this world and the next.
See; there they stand.
Ancestral spirits, welcome this one
to the place where we all must go.

"Miss Olive Tilton was one of Danville's really distinguished teachers. She was a brilliant student and a rare, gifted teacher, beyond what we ordinarily mean when we so speak of a teacher. In the world of teaching mathematics, she was accorded a place of deference by the authorities in the field.
"Miss Tilton was modern to the last degree. She was broad-minded, wise, smilingly tolerant, a generation at least ahead in her field of teaching.
"She had a gift of appraising the worth and ability of young people. When she discovered a worthwhile young person she used her own funds, time, influence with friends, and every available means to help the person to achieve his goal.
"After returning to her home in Danville she told me that if I know of any student at the University of Illinois or the High School who needed help in analytical geometry, calculus, or trigonometry, she would be glad to help him as many hours as necessary. But even then she was too ill." (author unknown)
