She is identified as Tillie M. in all known burial records, and this appears to be the name she preferred using. It is probably actually a nickname for Matilda. She appears to be the same person who was identified as Mary M. Proudfoot in 1850 and 1860 census enumerations of the R. J. Proudfoot family. Thus the most likely correct legal version of her name is Mary Matilda Proudfoot. She died in 1869 from a lung disorder or disease. Her remains were reinterred in Matthias Proudfoot's lot at Oakdale Cemetery 30 Oct 1912. (Source for death and burial data: Oakdale cemetery records. Research contribution acknowledgement: P Brock.)
