      Death ensued in the office of Dr. S.E. Dittmer, in Kouts, where Tillotson was rushed by his sister, Mrs. Cora Stearns, of Urbana, Ill., who had been visiting at his Kouts home.
      According to Mrs. Stearns, she accompanied her brother early last evening to Hebron to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Richardson.
      On the return trip, tire trouble developed and Mr. Tillotson got out and changed the tire. The exer-
      (continued on page 2, column 6)
      tion proved too great and he became faint.
      Mrs. Stearns drove the car to Kouts to the office of Dr. Dittmer. Just after being carried into the doctor’s office, Mr. Tillotson suffered a relapse and died before medical aid could be administered.
      Mr. Tillotson, a native of Pontiac, Ill., had lived in Kouts and vicinity since 1910. He maintained homes on his farm north of Kouts and also in Kouts.
      Surviving are one son, Arden; a granddaughter, of Danville, Ill.; one daughter Miss Florence Tillotson of Center Point, Ia.; one sister, Mrs. Stearns of Urbana, Ill., and three brothers, L.E. Tillotson of Urbana, Ill, and Alden and Charles Tillotson, of St. Louis, Mo.
