BEGIN

Tillman.
  Peter Tillman, an aged resident of East Blackwell street, was found dead
in bed yesterday morning about 7 o'clock.  Tillman, who was a carpenter,
went to work as usual on Wednesday, but complained of severe pains in his
left side and breast.  However, he worked until about 4 o'clock, when he
was compelled to stop work and return to his home.  Local remedies were
applied and when he retired he said he felt better.  Bidding his family the
usual "good-night," he went to bed and nothing more was heard from him.
Mrs. Tillman arose about 6:30 o'clock on the following morning and spoke
to him but received no reply.  Thinking he was asleep she went down stairs
to prepare breakfast.  About 7 o'clock Miss Ella Tillman went into the
room to call him to breakfast and discovered that his sleep was eternal.
His hands were clasped behind his head and the expression on his face was
very peaceful, as if death had come to him without pain.  Dr. P. S. Hann,
the family physician, was sent for and, after examination, stated that
death was caused by paralysis.  Coroner Hagan decided that an inquest
was unnecessary.  Mr. Tillman was born in Somerville, Somerset county,
on December 14, 1831, making him in his 69th year.  In 1855 he married
Miss Matilda Garrison, of Bloomsburg, Hunterdon county, who survives him,
together with three children, George W. Tillman, of Hackettstown; Mrs. Emma
Levers, of Elizabeth, and Miss Ella Tillman, of Dover.  The deceased was a
prominent member and trustee of the First M. E. Church, of Dover, and was
leader of the Sunday morning class.  He was not identified with any socities,
but was well known in Dover and vicinity.

BEGIN

Tillman.
  Peter Tillman, of 139 East Blackwell street, was found dead in bed on
Thursday morning.  While Mr. Tillman was 68 years of age he seemed to be
as well this winter as he had been for a long time, however, on Wednesday
morning before going to his work he complained of a slight pain in his chest
which was laid to indigestion.  About 4 o'clock he returned home from work
as the pain had grown more severe, but at supper time he felt better and
ate fairly hearty.  He would not allow his family to send for a physician
as his condition had so much improved, and especially was this noticeable
when he retired for the night.  He must have passed away without a struggle
as Mrs. Tillman heard no sound from him after they retired.
  Deceased was born in Somerville on December 14, 1831, and on January 18,
1855, was united in marriage with Miss Matilda Garrison, of Bloomsbury,
Hunterdon county, who with three children, George W., of Hackettstown;
Mrs. Emma Levers, of Elizabeth, and Miss Ella M., of Dover, survive him.
He came to Dover in June, 1880, and has resided here since.  During his
residence in Dover, excepting the present winter, he has been employed by
J. J. Vreeland and was his shop foreman.  In 1881 he united with the First
M. E. Church by certificate and since 1884 has been leader of the Sunday
morning class.  He was also a teacher in the Sabbath school.  The immediate
cause of death was pronounced as appoplexy [sic].  The funeral services
will be held in the First M. E. Church at 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, the
pastor, Dr. C. S. Woodruff officiating.  Interment in Locust Hill cemetery.
