Bellefontaine funeral set for Pilkington baby

Funeral arrangements have been set for 3-month-old Noah Pilkington, one of three boys allegedly killed by Bellefontaine mom Brittany Pilkington over the past year.

A visitation will be held from noon-2 p.m. Wednesday at the Eichholtz Daring & Sanford Funeral Home, 321 N. Main St., in Bellefontaine.

Pastor C.J. Plogger will officiate a funeral service at 2 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery in Quincy.

Brittany Pilkington remains in the Logan County Jail after investigators said she confessed to smothering her three young sons to death.

Noah Pilkington died Aug. 18 after being discovered unresponsive and not breathing by his father early that morning; 4-year-old Gavin Pilkington died under similar circumstances in April and 3-month-old Niall Pilkington in July 2014. Noah had been returned from foster care six days before his death.

Brittany Pilkington has been charged with three counts of murder and her bond has been set at $1 million.
