Died While Visiting His Son In Tulsa, Ok.
J. H. Chittum, a well known resident of Paris, died at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home of his son, W. H. Chittum, in Tulsa, Ok.
He and his wife had gone there to attend the Confederate reunion and to visit their son. His death, which was rather sudden and unexpected, is said to have been due to a heart failure, but on the night that he reached Tulsa he was taken very sick and came near dying. It was thought that his illness was caused by ptomaine poison. He was confinned to his room two days, after which he was able to get out, but suffered a relapse.
Mr. Chittum was a native of Tennessee and was about sixty-eight years of age.
He came here fifty years ago with his parents and was engaged in farming south of town. When he moved to town he followed the occupation of carpenter, painter and paperhanger, and for a while conducted a store on Lamar avenue.
He served the city several years as stock policeman.
He is survived by his wife, four daughters and a son. The later has a machine shop in Tulsa. The daughters are Mrs. Enoch Tomlinson of Soper, Ok., Mrs. W. A. Shook of Hugo, Mrs. G. W. Dyer of Talco and Mrs. E. F. Davidson, who lived with her parents two miles northwest of town.
The remains were expected to arrive yesterday afternoon but will not reach here this afternoon. The funeral will be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.
