The community was grieved this week when it became known that Mrs. Charles Titman, highly esteemed woman of the Tipton vicinity, had suddenly passed away about noon Wednesday.

Mrs. Titman died from the effect of a dose of sodium fleuride taken about six o'clock that morning mistaken for epsom salts. When the mistake was discovered Dr. Hoffman was hastily summoned and every effort was made to save her life, but to no avail.

Mrs. Titman is survived by her husband, children, several other relatives and a host of friends.

No funeral arrangement have yet been announced pending word from relatives residing at a distance.
