    This article was published in the Milford Daily News on
    October 4, 1918. I looked through the paper into the first
    couple of months of 1919 but didn't find anything more
    on him. Of the seven Hopedale servicemen who died in
    World War I, Tillotson was the only one who died in
    combat. The American Legion post in Hopedale was
    named in his honor.
