Amanda Titsworth Tomlinson, daughter of Jacob and Susan Woodruff Titsworth, was born at Bridgeton, N. J., December 5, 1834. She died at Plainfield, N. J., November 11, 1918.
When a child she moved with her parents to Metuchen, N. J., and later to New Market, N. J. Early in life she became a Christian and was received by baptism into the Piscataway Seventh Day Baptist Church.
She was married August 10, 1858, to Mr. George E. Tomlinson. Mr. Tomlinson will be remembered by many of the older people of our churches, as he became a prominent influential minister of the gospel. He died in 1876, at the age of thirty-nine years. To them were born five children, - Everett T., Lena, Cora, George E. and Harold. Everett is a Baptist minister, Elizabeth, N. J., and George lives in California. The other children have preceded their mother in death. In addition to her sons and grandchildren she is survived by one brother, Woodruff Titsworth, and one sister, Mrs. James Clawson, both of Plainfield.
Mrs. Tomlinson, having come to Plainfield to live, changed her church membership to the Plainfield Seventh Day Baptist Church in 1891.
Her life was quiet, but heroic. The oldest of their children was seventeen when her husband died, and she took up alone the responsibility of their care and training. She will be remembered as a devoted mother, a faithful friend, and a devout Christian.
A brief funeral service was conducted at her home by her pastor. The body was taken to Westerly, R. I., for burial in the family lot.
