Howard F. Moffet
Well Known Tipton Resident Died on Wednesday
The passing away of Postmaster Howard F. Tipton at his home at Tipton 
yesterday afternoon at 1:40 o’clock, has removed from that village one of its 
most substantial and esteemed citizens.  Mr. Moffet’s death was very sudden 
and unexpected.  While he had been seriously over the past winter and early 
spring, he had apparently recovered and in normal health again.

Howard F. Moffet was born November 23, 1872 at Masseysburg, 
Pennsylvania, the son of Hiram and Lydia Fleming Moffet.  He entered the 
employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad in early life.  He went to Tipton from 
Petersburg in 1902 and since had resided in Tipton.  He was a section road 
foreman on the main line near Tipton for more than thirty-five years, having 
been an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad for more than forty-four years.
	
Mr. Moffet is survived by his widow and by one daughter, Miss Frances 
at home, and by two sons, Harold A Moffet, of Washington, Pa., and Paul A 
Moffet of Tipton.  One brother, Mahlon Moffet, of Bellwood, and two 
grandchildren, also survive.

Mr. Moffet was a conscientious and faithful employe of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company.  He was a Christian gentleman and sincere in 
his religious beliefs.  He was a member of the Logan Valley Presbyterian 
church at Bellwood and an elder in the church.  He was superintendant of the 
Tipton Pines Presbyterian Sunday school near Bland Park and had he lived he 
would have had a prominent part in the home-coming services to be held by this 
mother church on Sunday.

Funeral services will be held at the Logan Valley 
Presbyterian church of Bellwood on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, followed 
by burial in the Petersburg cemetery.  The body may be viewed at the home.
