A TRIBUTE TO TITUS E. PRICE.

From the Mission Hill ’ (S. Dak.) Historian of last Friday we copy the following tribute to the memory of the late Titus E. Price. It is with a sad heart that we announce the death of Hon. Titus E. Price; which occured on November 27th, at Rensselaer, Ind., where he had gone some weeks ago to recuperate his failing health caused by nervous prostration from overwork in his law practice. Mr. Price was well known throughout the state of South Dakota, owing to his prominence and worth. The meager details of his decline at his brother’s home, conveys to us the sad news of his final breakdown and death. In his passing away to a better world, we lose a statesman of 'high standing, who has been prominent and ever faithful to the trust imposed upon him. Mr. Price was a native of Ohio, born in 1866. At an early age he removed with his parents to Indiana, where he secured a good education and taught school several terms; meanwhile studying law. In 1883 he located at Highmore, S. D., where he was elected and served two terms as county superintendent of schools. He was elected as representative from Hyde county to the legislature session of 1893; soon after he removed to Yankton, South Dakota, took up the practice of law, and there became prominent in politics, being elected to the Legislature for the sessions of 1903 and 1907. He leaves a wife and many friends to mourn his loss. Lord, we have lost a friend: but thou also died! Night; and a heart’s wild wonder Findeth its cry; God of the way-out yonder Answers us why? .
