Obituary of Jeremiah Holman Tipton
Mr. J. H. Tipton died at his home three miles northwest of Middletown on Saturday last, after an Illness of only four days. He was in Middletwon Wednesday of last week, and while on the street suffered a severe spell of acute indigestion, for an hour or more being in a dangerous condition. He rallied sufficiently to be taken to his house, but continued to suffer with his stomach, the immediate caues of his death however, being heart trouble. He was conscious to the last, and fully realized that his condition was serious.
Mr. Tipton was born in Ralls County, this state, and was 64 years of age. The last forty years of his life were spent in this community, where he was generally esteemed. He was a man of powerful build, strong in his conviction and with the courage to stand up for them on any and every occasion. He was well read and posted on affairs political, and was not to be swerved from what he thought to be right. Although not viewing mattewrs as he did, no one questioned his sincerity, or honesty in his views, and few dared to face him in debate of public question .
He leaves a wife and five chilkdren to mourn his loss, two of the children being enroute home from California at the time of his death. He wasformerly a member of the M. E. Church, South, but withdrew his membership there from a number of years ago. His remains were buried in the Middletown Cemetery on Sunday, June 24 th after funeral services conducted by Rev. Dechard and Dr. C. H, Riggs. Truly a good man and noble man has gone from our midst, and his sorrowing family have the sympathy of many friends in thir irreparable loss.His grave in Middletown Cemetery is marked by an ornate and substantial grey granite monument with both his and his wife's name inscribed These are the only graves on the lot though a memorial stone listing all his ancestors in this country has been erected near by.
