"The passing of Clara Tilton deprives Danville of a conscientious worker and a leader in activities designed to benefit the community. She spent her energy helping many groups take a step forward toward the goal of a better community. Her devotion to that goal represents Clara's civic prindiples. It should be a challenge to all of us to strengthen our efforts in community activities."Clara Tilton was a charter member of the Business and Professional Woman's Club and its past president in 1934 to 1935. The church, underprivileged children, problem youths, racial organizations and women's civic groups claimed much of her time and effort. In addition she was a successful business woman in her chosen field of insurance."To many of us Clara's passing is a great personal loss. We shall miss her friendly personality, her kindly help and her cheery outlook. She will live in our memory as a friend and a truly christian woman." (written by Ruth Sandeson, a high school history teacher, and read at the regular meeting of the Danville Business and Professional Women's Club, Thursday, 20 December 1945, at the Grier Lincoln Hotel)

"Miss Olive Tilton was one of Danville's really distinguished teachers. She was a brilliant student and a rare, gifted teacher, beyond what we ordinarily mean when we so speak of a teacher. In the world of teaching mathematics, she was accorded a place of deference by the authorities in the field."Miss Tilton was modern to the last degree. She was broad-minded, wise, smilingly tolerant, a generation at least ahead in her field of teaching."She had a gift of appraising the worth and ability of young people. When she discovered a worthwhile young person she used her own funds, time, influence with friends, and every available means to help the person to achieve his goal."After returning to her home in Danville she told me that if I know of any student at the University of Illinois or the High School who needed help in analytical geometry, calculus, or trigonometry, she would be glad to help him as many hours as necessary. But even then she was too ill." (author unknown)
