"Tilghman Howard Smith was born in Rockville, May 31, 1840. Departed this life May 22, 1918, age 77 years, 11 months and 21 days.

Tilghman was one of a family of nine children, and his death leaves but one sister, Mary Jane Bowman of Montezuma, of what was once a large family. He inherited from his parents a strong and rugged constitution, which enabled him to enjoy good health during nearly four score years.

On August 22, 1872, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Skeeters. To this union were born twelve children, eight daughters and four sons. All of whom survive the deceased except one daughter and one son who died in infancy. The children living are occupying places of honor and usefulness in society and with their mother and nineteen grandchildren and many friends are left to mourn the loss."
