Looking for Tilton Line in Illinois

I am researching my dad's family, "The Tiltons" of Sioux City, Iowa where I was born. My dad's name was Allen Courtney Tilton, born February 10, 1917 in Sioux City Iowa and died July 1986 in Texas.

So far I have found them in the 1920 Census and the 1900 Census but research is slow going. I am having particular problems with my grandfather "Courtney Tilton". I have pic of his gravestone with the name C. N. Tilton buried in Graceland Cemetery, Sioux City Iowa, dates are 1892 - 1958. In the 1920 census Woodbury County, Sioux City Iowa, he is reported as Courtney N. Tilton, age at time of census was 28 and in the 1900 census Woodbury County, Sioux City Iowa, he is simply listed as Court Tilton and his birth date is reported as February (?),month is smudged, 1891. with his age being 8.

He worked for the railroad until retirement.

Courntey Tilton was married to Lula (also known as Lula) Johnson. She is buried beside my grandfather, she was born April 11, 1895 in Sioux City Iowa and died May, 1984.

My great grandfather's name was John Tilton, born August, 1869 in Illinois. His parents are reported to be from New Hampshire. This information was obtained from the 1900 Census of Woodbury County, Sioux City, Iowa. I do not know his date of death.

My great grandmother's name was Victorina Tilton (I do not know her maiden name) born July, 1871 in Iowa. Her parents are reported to be from Belgium. This information was obtained from the 1900 Census of Woodbury County, Sioux City Iowa. I do not know her death date.

My grandfather had a sister Maude Tilton born September 1890 in Iowa. This information was obtained from the 1900 census of Woodbury County, Sioux City Iowa. She was married to Albert Boisvert Sr. and were reported to have moved to Florida. I have documentation of Albert's death in Florida but I have no information on Maude. They had one son, Albert Boisvert Jr. who also died in Florida.

Any information someone may have on my family would be greatly appreciated.
