Tiffany


	Mary Adaline Tiffany, widow of the late Dr. J.W. Tiffany, died Friday
afternoon, November 25, 1904 at 3:15 P.M. at the home of her son, Charles
E. Smith in Kansas City, Mo.  Tuberculosis, from which she has been
suffering for about 14 months, caused her death.  Mrs. Tiffany was 49 years
olds and was born near Shell Rock, Iowa.  She lived in Iowa for 36 years,
moving then to Grand Island, Nebraska with her husband.  Eight years ago
Dr. and Mrs. Tiffany moved to Brown County. He passed away on August 26 of
this year.  Mrs. Tiffany was one of eight children, five of which was at
her funeral.  - Fraser, of Hiawatha, Charles of St. Joseph, Mrs. Thomas
(document cut off), of Clay County, Mrs. Marcell of Olathe, and Harry, with
whom she lived.  Mrs. Tiffany was highly esteemed by all who knew her.  She
was a bright, intelligent, well-read woman with a lively interest in
everything. From girlhood she had been a Christian and for more than 29
years was a member of the Congressional Church.  

Additional listing 

Mrs. Tiffany came to Hiawatha with her husband in 1897, which has since
been their home.  Dr. Tiffany died in August 1904, after a short illness.
The body of Mrs. Tiffany was brought to Hiawatha Sunday afternoon and taken
at once to Mount Hope Cemetery, where Rev. C.P. Connolly conducted a short
service.  Mrs. Tiffany left Hiawatha only a few weeks ago for Colorado.
Failing to regain her health there, she gave up hope and went to the home
of her son in Kansas City to die.  She carried  $2000 insurance in the
Fraternal Brotherhood.  Because she did not live two years after taking out
the policy, only $1000 will be paid her heirs.  Her son, Chas E. Smith is
her only near relative living.
