Rush - Tilghman - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

Tilghman Rush was born July 19th, 1841, and just as the clock tolled the hour of one on the morning of August 19th, 1901, his spirit took on immortality and was wafted on the wings of the holy angels into the realms of endless glory. Although he suffered untold pain with the dreaded disease, consumption, he was never known to murmur or complain, and always had a pleasant smile and gentle word for everyone who called on him. He will be greatly missed by the old soldiers whom he has been associated with for so long, but his absence will be more keenly felt by his wife and children who watched by his bedside so faithfully all through the long vigils of night, trying when possible to alleviate his pain and make his few short hours pleasant. The family has the sympathy of the entire community (especially the wife) in their great distress. The funeral services were conducted on Wednesday at the Baptist Church at this place of which he was a member, having united with that church in 1884. The services were conducted by Rev. Henson, of Covington. -s
