TITUS D. YOKUM
[Welland Tribune, 9 September 1898]
Titus D. Yokum, a native and lifelong resident of Crowland, died suddenly at his residence on Wednesday evening in the 67th year of his age. Deceased had his leg broken about six weeks ago, but had recovered so as to be about with a crutch, and was apparently in his usual health up to few minutes of his death. He had retired to bed, but about 10 o’clock told his wife he felt very warm. Mrs. Yokom saw that something was wrong, and called to another person in the house. A few minutes after Mr. Yokom breathed his last, his spirit peacefully taking its flight to the future world. Mr. Yokom was born and lived all his life on the farm on which he died. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church and had the respect of all who knew him, who in his demise mourn the loss of a good friend and citizen. A widow (Elizabeth Everingham) and two sons. Jesse and Charles, survive to mourn their loss.
The funeral will be held on Sunday, 11th inst., from his late home at 10.30 a.m., thence to Methodist church, Crowland, where services will be led by Rev. Mr. Smith of Port Robinson. Interment at Doan’s Ridge cemetery.
