Silent City - Miss Tillie Trabue portrayed by Linda Lewis 2019-10-18 - Columbia City Cemetery - Photo by Tiffany Kessler, columbiamagazine.com. This year's Silent City had a very special guest - Miss Matilda "Tillie" Trabue (1848-1929) portrayed by retired Adair County art teacher Linda Lewis. Remembered for her positive impact on the community, local history most commonly refers to her impressive artistic skills. An interest that began at age seven, eventually led to a teaching position later in life at Lindsey Wilson Training School. The daughter of William and Elizabeth McDowell Trabue, she was born into a family of 12 children. Her grandfather, Col. Daniel Trabue, help founded Columbia as well as the street layout and had a say on important decisions such as locations for the courthouse, jail, and post office. Among her colorful and interesting lifespan, Miss Tillie was most famous for her soirees. She loved visitors and was known to hold parties, receptions for Lindsey Wilson staff, and the occasional wedding on their family farm known as Willow Glen. The Trabue-Russell House at the top of Jamestown Hill once served as Miss Tillie's childhood home and now holds a variety of Columbia artifacts and information. Miss Tillie and two unmarried sisters lived out their lives at Willow Glen. - Tiffany Kessler Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
