BAY COUNTY
Memorial Report

Mrs. Mary E. Tilton

     Mrs. Mary E. Tilton, wife of William M. Tilton, departed this life on January 19, 1889, at 5:30 p.m. at the family residence, corner of Fifth avenue and Adams street, Bay City, aged sixty-three years.  For something like a year and a half past the venerable lady, whose name has brought good cheer to many a family in dispair in Bay City during the past quarter of a century, has been suffering with consumption.
     She leaves to mourn her demise a husband and five children.
     Mrs. Mary E. Tilton was born at St. John, N. B., and was united in marriage to William M. Tilton some forty-three years ago.  The young couple moved to Bay City in 1864, when it was nothing but a hamlet, and together watched the rapid growth of the town.
