Titus - Guy

Source: Waveland Independent Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana July 10, 1931

Kenneth Garrigus and Guy Titus were instantly killed on Monday night when the motorcycle driven by Garrigus left the Yountsville road a mile west of Crawfordsville and plunged into a twenty foot ravine. Garrigus' back was broken and Titus' skull was fractured. Garrigus, with his wife, had driven over from Indianapolis to the home of Titus' parents about eight o'clock, where he left Mrs. Garrigus and picked up Guy to take a spin which ended so tragically. Garrigus was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Will Garrigus of Indianapolis. Mrs. Garrigus was formerly Miss SteIla Titus and with her sister, Betty, now Mrs. T. N. Johnson, made their home here, living in the house now owned by Art Lough, when they had charge of the local telephone exchange. A brother, the father of Guy Titus, lived with them and was employed in the acetylene machine plant here. Thus again tragedy, which is ever present in the daily press, comes close home. Funeral services at the Titus home on Wednesday afternoon were in charge Rev. John Servies. Burial at the Oak Hill Cemetery. - kbz
