MRS. ANNIE R. A. TIPTON

  Mrs. Annie R. (Arthur) Tipton, widow of L. C. Tipton, and daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Arthur, died at 1 o'clock yesterday morning at 
Columbia hospital, Wilkinsburg, after undergoing an operation last 
Thursday.  She had been in ill health for eight years and hoped to 
obtain relief through the operation.  She entered the hospital last 
Wednesday and the operation ensued the following day.  Owing to her 
weakened condition and a complication of diseases, she could not 
withstand the effect.  She lived all her life in this city and was 
wedded to Luis C. Tipton, November 27, 1873, by Rev. Henry Baker.  She 
resided at 1128 Thirteenth avenue until her husband's death on May 9, 
1916, after which she made her home with a sister, Mrs. G. O. Matthews, 
Wilkinsburg, who survives.  Mrs. Tipton was a lifelong member of the 
First Lutheran church of this city and was active in its work until her 
health failed.  The body will be brought to the city tomorrow at 10:58 
o'clock and will be taken direct to the First Lutheran church, where 
funeral services will be held at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.  
Private interment will be made at Fairview cemetery.  Friends are 
invited to the church service.
