Calhoun Co Pioneer Deaths as reported in 1889 to the Michigan Historical and Pioneer Society (pgs 70-85)
Died, at Marshall, March 16, 1889, Mrs. S. P. TILLOTSON, aged 82 years, 2 months and 4 days.
Samantha PHELPS was born in Cortland county, NY, Jan. 12, 1807. Was married at her father's home in Geneva, Ontario county, to which town the family had previously moved, to Zenas Tillotson, Jan. 12, 1823. Four children were born to them in New York State, and four after coming to Michigan in the spring of 1835. In early life Mrs. Tillotson united with the Presbyterian church, but soon after coming to Marshall became one of
the original members at the organization of the Episcopal church in this city, and always retained her membership here, although she has resided in distant places at different times. Her husband died in September, 1876, and she has since that time made her home with her son Henry A., of Marshall.
But three of her children survive her, all of whom were present at her death-bed. Mrs. Tillotson was a faithful and affectionate wife and mother, a kind neighbor, a consistent Christian, and always filled a prominent place in the best social circles of this vicinity until the past few years, during which ill health and advanced age have compelled her to remain at home most of the time.
