Tillie M. Dugard Remembered After Long Illness
Tillie M. Dugard died Sunday evening at ten at her sister Mrs Frank Sheridan’s home after weeks of intense suffering.

She remained notary public and York Drainage district secretary at home, supporting causes with progressive, modern methods. Friends gathered Tuesday to pay their respects in a final tribute.
