TITUS PRICE DIES AT SPITLER RESIDENCE.

Former Jasper County Boy Who Made Good as Western Lawyer, Returns To Old Home to Die. At about 10:30 o’clock Sunday morning Titus Price died at the residence of Miss Maud Spitler on North VanRensselaer street. He was surrounded by his wife, his sister, Miss Nettie, and his brother, Myrt B. Price, when dissolution occurred. Titus Price went to Yankton, S. Dak., about the year-1881, and there engaged in the practice of law. He was successful and enjoyed a large practice at which he worked with such diligence that his health broke down and he was brought here by his wife about three weeks ago, suffering from nervous prostration. He did not improve and grew gradually worse until the end came. His devoted wife never left his bedside since they came to Rensselaer and for three weeks had never left the upper boor of the Spitler home, where her sick husband lay. He was 49 years of age. He leaves no children. Miss Nettie Price, city librarian, Myrt B. Priced civil engineer, of Rensselaer, Cory Price, of Carpenter township, and Judge Clark Price, of Ashland, Kans., are brothers and sister of the deceased. His father was William Price, formerly of Carpenter township. The funeral will be held some time Wednesday at Remington, but the exact hour will not be set until after the arrival of Clark Price from Ashland, Kans., who is now on his way here.
