Tiffany

	Dr. James Wesley Tiffany, for seven years a resident of Hiawatha,
died Friday afternoon, August 26, 1904 at the home of his son, Dr.
DeForrest  Tiffany, in Cedar Point, Iowa.  Cancer of the liver was the
cause of his death and he has been seriously ill ever since he went from
Hiawatha to Cedar Point several weeks ago to visit his son.  He would have
been 63 years old had he lived until September 21.  Dr. Tiffany had a
severe sick spell last winter and has not been in good health since.  He
was born in Delaware, Canada.  At the age of 19 he enlisted in the Twenty-
seventh Michigan infantry and served in that regiment through the Civil
War.  He was first lieutenant of Company H and for several months acting
captain.  His regiment was one of those which sustained the heaviest losses
during the war.  Dr. Tiffany was a member of the Hiawatha G.A.R. post and
was also a Mason.  In 1903 he served as president of the Kansas Homeopathic
Medical Society.  With his wife he moved here in 1897 from Grand Island,
Nebraska and he always regarded Hiawatha as one of the finest towns in the
country.  He is survived by Mrs. Tiffany, his son, Dr. tiffany and one
brother, Mortimer Tiffany of Marquette, Michigan.  The funeral was held
Saturday at Centerpoint, Iowa where Dr, Tiffany practiced medicine for 20
years, his body being interred by that of his father.
