Mrs. Katherine Titus, wife of Dr. H. S. Titus, of Rhodes, died in a Marshalltown hospital of peritonitis following an operation for the removal of a supernumerary appendix. Mrs. Titus’ case was unusual. When the operation was performed surgeons found a second or false appendix growing from the small intestine. This had ruptured and caused an abscess, from which the peritoneal trouble developed.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she was born Aug. 1, 1852 and died Jan. 1, 1916. She is buried in Eden Cemetery.
