Dr. T. O. Armfield will be remembered by the older residents of Tipton, having at one time been associated in the practice of medicine with Dr. A B. Pitzer. At that time the family lived in a house on North Main street opposite the present European hotel building. He was a member of the Masonic lodge and a member of the Christian church.
The report reaching this city yesterday evening was that Dr. Armfield, who had not been in active practice for some time, had suffered an attack of heart trouble which caused his death.
