Injuries; Was Struck By Car
(with photo of Mr. Titterington)
Fred Titterington, 73 years of age, former Rock Island county treasurer, and a life resident of this county, died at 6:30 o'clock this morning at his home, 816 Twenty-second street, Rock Island. Dr. Eli Bradford, attending physician, attributed his death to the effects of injuries which Mr. Titterington received last Aug. 1, when he was struck by an automobile in Carbon Cliff.
Having been conscious at intervals only, since he was injured, Mr. Titterington's death was not unexpected. He had regained consciousness at times long enough to recognize members of his family. Until the time of the accident, Mr. Titterington was in good health for one of his advanced years.
Mr. Titterington was struck by an automobile driven by William Caulkins, Carbon Cliff police magistrate, when he alighted from a street car in Carbon Cliff, where he had gone to visit his son, Forrest, who is superintendent of the Tri-City Brick company's plant. He walked directly into the path of Caulkins' car, the accident being unavoidable. He suffered from concussion of the brain.
Born in Edgington
Born in Edgington, Sept. 1, 1852, he spent his early life there and attended the public schools, later being a student at Knox college, Galesburg, Ill., for two years. He engaged in farming while living at Edgington and was a member of the Rock Island county board of supervisors from April, 1888 to March 1889. He was the son of Charles and Sophia Titterington of Edgington, pioneer settlers of Rock Island county.
He was united in marriage with Miss Hattie Edgington, at Edgington, Sept. 1, 1874. She died April 28, 1884. Later, he married Miss Rose Powers at Edgington, who survives.
Elected Treasurer in 1894
Elected treasurer of Rock Island county in 1894, Mr. Titterington moved to Rock Island and had resided here since. After his term expired in 1898 he became interested in the Argilllo Tile works at Carbon Cliff with the late F. J. Robinson, in 1889, and served as its secretary and manager until March of 1922, when the Tri-City Brick company was organized. He retired from business at that time.
Mr. Titterington was named president of the Rock Island County Old Settlers' association Sept. 6, 1922, at the organization's 57th annual reunion. He considered this a distinct honor, as his father had served as president of the settlers' association in its 32nd year.
Mr. Titterington was a member of the Broadway Presbyterian church of Rock Island and an active and devoted church worker. Mr. Titterington was ordained and installed as elder in the Edgington Presbyterian church, July 2, 1882, being transferred to the Broadway church in March of 1897. He was also a member of the Modern Woodmen of America.
Surviving are four daughters, Miss Susan E. Titterington of Chicago; Mrs. Frank McMeekin, Rock Island; Mrs. C. G. Heck, Princeton, Ill., and Miss Adria Titterington of Hastings, Neb., and one son, Forrest Titterington of Carbon Cliff. One sister, Mrs. E. O. Kretsinger of Beatrice, Neb., and two brothers, Milton Titterington, Lawrence, Kan., and David Titterington, University Place, Neb., also survive.
