MRS. KITSON EXPIRED TODAY
Died Unexpectedly Early Today After Ten Years' Illness
Mrs. Mary Frances Kitson, age 43 years, wife of H. F. Kitson and well known resident of
this city, died at her home, 511 West Madison street at 6:30 o'clock this morning.
Although Mrs. Kitson had been in poor health for the last ten years, she had been bedfast
only two days and death was unexpected. Death was due to a complication of diseases.
Mrs. Kitson made a brave fight to regain her health. Although her health failed her
ten years ago, she remained cheerful all the time. Last summer, Mr. and Mrs. Kitson and
their daughter, Margaret, took an extended motor trip through the West, hoping to benefit
Mrs. Kitson's health, but the trip benefited her only temporarily.
Mrs. Kitson was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Elzey, and was born in Decatur, June
23, 1881. Her entire life was spent in this city. On December 4, 1909, she was married
to H. F. Kitson. Mrs. Kitson was a member of the Methodist church and the Pythian Sisters
lodge. She is survived by her husband; one daughter, Margaret, at home; and a host of
other relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be held from the Methodist church at 2:30 o'clock Monday
afternoon, the Rev. Fred T. Thronburg, of Kokomo, former pastor of the Methodist church in
this city, officiating. Burial will be made in the Maplewood cemetery.
