MRS. ELLEN B. TIPTON IS SUDDENLY STRICKEN

  Stricken with paralysis in her home in Martinsburg, Mrs. Ellen B. 
Tipton, wife of Jacob S. Tipton, died at 3.45 o'clock. She was widely 
known throughout the cove and was the daughter of David B. and Mrs. 
Susanna Stoner, being born in Martinsburg on Jan. 26, 1861.
  She is survived by her husband and the following children:  Mrs. 
Clinton H. Paul, 615 Fourteenth street, Altoona; Miss Mary E., Albert 
H., and G. Ralph, all at home. The following brothers and sisters also 
survive:  Mrs. Mary Klepser, H. A. Stoner and I. G. Stoner of 
Martinsburg and A. H. Stoner, of Philadelphia. There are also three 
grandchildren, Grace, Lois and Mary Paul, of 614 Fourteenth street.
  Mrs. Tipton was a devoted lifelong member of the Church of God at 
Martinsburg and was a faithful worker in all branches of the church, 
being held in high esteem for her qualities of Christian womanhood. For 
more than twenty-two years, she was a teacher in the Sunday school and 
for the past two years had not missed attendance.
  One daughter, Iva, died in infancy and one son gave his life in 
France in the service of his country. This was David Merl Tipton, who 
was killed Oct. 5, 1918, while in action as a member of Co. G, 319

brought home and rests in the family plot in Fairview cemetery.
